The Atlanta Hawks will not only make the playoffs in 2021, but the Hawks will win a playoff series. Now that you've spit out your coffee, let me explain.
The Hawks have had a smart offseason. They didn't go after unrealistic big names that were never signing with the team. Travis Schlenk and the front office went after exactly what the Hawks needed.....shooters and shooters who can play defense.
The Hawks were dead last in 3 point shooting in 2020. How many times did fans see Trae Young breakdown the defense and pass to a wide open shooter only for them to constantly miss? That stops now.
The Hawks found a perfect backcourt pair for Young with Bogdan Bogdanović. A forward who can shoot in Danilo Gallinari, and a perimeter defender is Kris Dunn.
The NBA is an offensive league now. No more highly touted defenses of the past are making the playoffs. The Hawks are built like the Golden State Warriors. Offense and more offense.
Will P tell us why and how the Hawks will win a playoff series in 2021.
