Atlanta Hawks: 100-1
We make a jump one doesn’t feel enough.
Before Al Horford went down with (another) torn pectoral last season, Mike Budenholzer’s birds were 16-13, looking like the third-best group in the East. Atlanta shut out the year with a 22-31 mark after losing its best player.
Obviously, because the East was the East, the Hawks made the playoffs.
Horford is looking fine in preseason play and healthy, this season . Additionally, Paul Millsap is currently playing for a contract, Jeff Teague remains among the league’s least appreciated talents and Thabo Sefolosha is now in town to deliver some perimeter protection.
Nobody’s saying that the Hawks are a bunch of world-beaters, but they feel just like postseason locks. And they might finish one of the conference’s top .
At the minimum, they will jack a lot of threes (only the Houston Rockets tried more in 2013-14) and look after the chunk (Atlanta’s assist-to-turnover ratio had been next best at the East). That is a recipe for success.
Do not sleep on the Hawks.
