Competition Discussion: Atlanta Hawks
The season is still a ways away, but most of the rosters are set, barring the requisite Michael Jordan comeback rumor (just kidding, but only a little). We have an idea where our team stands, but we can't really know unless we discuss everyone else. In that spirit, I'm going to throw up a...
Lakers vs. Jazz: A BDL Preview

Playoff Gods Adjust Size of Blazers' Britches
Having won eight straight in Portland against the Lakers, and looking forward to a likely first round matchup with a wounded Spurs team that they had just defeated in San Antonio, Portland fans were beginning to get too big for their britches. The Playoff Gods appear to have taken note, coming...
Magic Intend to Send Hawks a Message
John Denton sets the mood: There was a time when going to Atlanta was the equivalent of a NBA vacation what with the night life the city offered the visiting players and the homecoming doormat of a team calling Philips Arena home. But with the Hawks now stockpiled with young, dynamic talent and...
Poll For an Off Day

Optimism Sure To Breed Doubt
You'll have to scroll down to see that the man who thought Josh Smith was the best defensive player in the league last year is also the only person employed by ESPN.com to pick someone other then the Orlando Magic to win the Southeast Division.
Basketball Prospectus Previews the Southeast Division
The debut of Kevin Pelton's SCHOENE projection system continues with a look at the Southeast Division. Pelton's (very cagey) projection for the Hawks? 34 wins. Having returned to the playoffs and taken Boston to seven games in the first round, the Atlanta Hawks entered the offseason with plenty...
