Atlanta Hawks: Grading Each Player’s Performance In 2012-13
Going into the season, the big question surrounding the Atlanta Hawks was how they would perform without Joe Johnson. As it turned out, the situation wasn’t much different.

Yahoo Sports reported Friday night that the Atlanta Hawks are going after Stan Van Gundy for their head coaching position.

The series America loved to hate ended on Friday, May 3, when the Indiana Pacers defeated the Atlanta Hawks at Phillips Arena in the ATL, 81-73. When asked on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” on Friday afternoon if the Pacers-Hawks series would end in Game 6, co-host Tony Kornheiser’s response was, “If there is a God.” Yeah, it was that kind of a series, a series few people seemed to care about and even fewer watched.
