Once upon a time, the Atlanta Hawks were one of the NBA’s biggest doormats. The sad-sack 2004-05 version won just 13 games, then managed just 56 total victories over the next two campaigns. However, the team’s fortunes turned in the 2007-08 season, as the Hawks earned a playoff berth despite finishing below .500. No such luck was necessary last year, though, as Atlanta powered to 47 wins and a second-place finish in the NBA Southeast Division.
