ATLANTA HAWKS Advanced Stats: PACE : #27 91.8 OFFENSE: #20 103.2 DEFENSE: #16 104.6 It was quite a surprise that a worse version of the Atlanta Hawks than in the previous season was able to beat in the Playoffs the same exact team that annihilated them one year earlier by an averaging difference of 25 points per game! Without any hard feelings, the Atlanta Hawks was the best team of all the mediocre... Read more

2009/10 Review: The final year of the Mike Woodson’s reign in Atlanta proved to be another solid and consistent season, but ended in an ugly fashion note at the ends of the Orlando Magic in the second round of the playoffs. Still the Atlanta Hawks improvement through the last years can’t be dissociated from the fact that the rebuilding process has started with the hiring of Woodson. Here are the regular... Read more

When Mike Woodson arrived in Atlanta in the 2004/2005 season, the Hawks finished the season with a 13-69 record - a 15% winning rate!

Looking at the regular season records of both teams, everything appoints to a sweep ( Boston 66-16; Atlanta 38-44). But the differences are much bigger than it appears to be. First of all, Atlanta doesnt have any kind of experience at this level. Just Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby have played... Read more

Eastern Conference: 10. Chicago Bulls There is no other team in the NBA that has been so involved in trade rumors than the Bulls. Since the beginning of the season with Kobe and now with Ben Wallace, the media isn't giving any rest to Chicago. Right now they are 20-31 SU and 22-30-2 ATS. The team isn't far from a playoff spot and there is some hope in what Deng, Gordon and Hinrich will be capable to do,... Read more
