Atlanta Hawks: 100-1
We make a jump into 100-1 land with the Atlanta Hawks–one does not feel big enough.
Before Al Horford went down with (another) torn pectoral last season, Mike Budenholzer’s birds were 16-13, appearing like the third-best team from the East. Atlanta shut the year with a 22-31 mark out after dropping its best player.
Obviously, since the East was the East, the Hawks still made the playoffs.
Horford is looking fine in preseason play and healthy . Plus, Paul Millsap is currently playing for a contract, Jeff Teague remains among the league’s least talents and Thabo Sefolosha is presently in town to bring some stifling perimeter defense.
Nobody is saying the Hawks are a lot of world-beaters, but they feel like postseason locks. And they may finish among the conference’s top four.
In the minimum, they’ll jack a ton of threes (just the Houston Rockets attempted more in 2013-14) and look after the chunk (Atlanta’s assist-to-turnover ratio was next best at the East). That’s a recipe for success.
Don’t sleep on the Hawks.
