Hawks are 2-1 in the new season.

This is how I'm looking at this, and this is how I think the players will look at this.

Through the first 41 games, the Hawks were 14-27. That season is over. The last 41 games starts a new season, and the Hawks are 2-1. 27-14 gets the team to .500 on the year.

I like your optimism; I am so desperately hoping that the Hawks can miraculously make the playoffs as well. The road trip after the All-Star Break will be the deciding factor...If Kasten doesn't try and make a trade before then...
