Background - Atlanta Hawks
The club began in 1946 as the Tri-City Blackhawks of the National Basketball League (NBL). The NBL and the rival Basketball Association of America merged in 1949 to form the NBA, and the Blackhawks, coached by Red Auerbach, reached the playoffs in the new league's 1949-50 season.
In 1951 the team moved to Milwaukee and became the Hawks. Despite drafting Pettit in 1953, the Hawks remained near the bottom of the league. Before the 1955-56 season the club moved to St. Louis, and Pettit led the league in scoring and rebounding and was named NBA most valuable player (MVP).
In the 1956-57 season the team bolstered its lineup with trades that brought Cliff Hagan and Ed Macauley to St. Louis, and in 1957 the franchise advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time, facing the Boston Celtics. The Celtics prevailed in double overtime in the seventh and final game, winning 126-124. Under coach Alex Hannum the Hawks again met the Celtics in the 1958 NBA Finals. Hagan, Macauley, and Pettit, who led the team in scoring during the regular season, continued to do so in the finals. Pettit scored 50 points in the deciding sixth game to give the Hawks their only NBA title.

2008-09 Midseason Update
|
 Josh Childress's departure was supposed to be the end of the team. The team that managed to take the Boston Celtics to seven games in the first round lost its glue guy. Then Josh Smith went down an injury. The 2008-09 season was almost lost before the first the games were done. No worry though, the Hawks are on their way to bringing the playoffs to Philips Arena with a 26-19 record.
The team is second in the Southeast Division and the best team in the Eastern Conference that is not leading its division. The defense has been just outside the top tier of the league and the offense has been prolific enough to make Hawks tickets far from a disappointment or a dull time. Joe Johnson is the leading scorer at 21 a game, but he has five other guys in double figures.
Mike Bibby may be the primary ball handler, but it has been Johnson's vision that has helped him lead the team in assists. Josh Smith is not blocking as many shots as last season, but his reputation alone has to scare players driving to the basket. Al Horford has continued to hold down the post when he has been healthy and guard Ronald Murray has blossomed as the sixth man instead of Maurice Evans.
The Hawks should be fine as the regular season schedule wears on, but once they are in the playoffs Horford needs to become some sort of a scoring option. Johnson can only take advantage of so many shorter guards down low and Josh Smith is still light years from developing a go-to post move.
