Welcome to Atlanta Hawks Headlines. It’s been quiet around the Atlanta Hawks this week. They have had three days off since Sunday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets. That’s probably a good thing. The break has given them a chance to regroup after a rough patch in their season.
It would take a truly wretched finish for the Hawks to miss the playoffs entirely, but ending up in a position where they would face LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round is a distinct possibility.
In my mind, that’s a worse scenario than ending up with a lottery pick.
