Atlanta Hawks 2010 Playoffs
The Atlanta Hawks may be far from the most luxurious franchise in NBA, but the team has a longer and more respectable history than many fans give them credit for. The Hawks may be a long shot in recent seasons for playoff tickets to the Philips Arena, but the team has a surprisingly long history of postseason appearances, with the 1958 appearance ending in an NBA championships. The recent struggles of the 21st century are really a new phenomenon for the franchise that only 14 times in the 53 seasons before the 1999-2000 season.
The most fondly remembered decade for Atlanta has to be the 1980s. Though the team only mad the playoffs seven of the ten years, they had great records and great play with Dominique Wilkins. The Human Highlight Film led the team to four straight seasons with 50 or more wins. That meant that Atlanta played a steady postseason schedule, but Hawks playoff tickets never got passed the conference semifinals. The team unfortunately reached its pinnacles in the golden age of basketball when the Celtics were dominant and the Pistons were on the rise.
Atlanta Hawks Background
This season the Atlanta Hawks hope to return to the postseason for the second time in a row. The club lost Josh Childress to a Greek team because of money restrictions created by the salary cap, but the team is hoping that Maurice Evans can proved a similar spark off the bench after his performance late in the season for the Orlando Magic. Hawks playoff tickets will rely on the performance of the starters to carry them through the regular season and the Southeastern Division.
That hope is warranted because of young players like Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Marvin Williams. The young front court is full of potential, with Smith’s unique blend of truly off the charts athleticism and a decent outside shot making him the prize of the three. Horford is a solid rebounder and a good low post scorer. Williams is a wild card. He can do a little bit of everything and has flashes of stardom and that encourages the team to stay with him. Mike Bibby and Joe Johnson are the veterans that need to take charge for playoff tickets to come in the spring. Bibby is a point guard in his twilight and Johnson is a sweet-shooting scoring threat who has not been used to his potential. The team that gave the Celtics a run in the first round last season is hoping to improve and advance to the second round.
