I just don't understand how people can think the Hawks won't improve on their 47-35 record this year...much less have a worse record. The young core is a year older, the team overall is loads deeper and more talented and experienced, and it's not like the East has gotten much better..if at all. We'll probably still be the #4 seed but we'll be a helluva lot closer to #3 than 11 freakin games.
