Atlanta...4th?

Am I missing something?

[Saro1]

Nuggets under the Lakers?? What??

[Basketball Nate]

I definitely don't understand why they think so highly of the Atlanta Hawks.

[DC1980]

Lakers ahead of the Kings? Blasphemy

PS4 demo the same day the game is released? C'mon EA

The Hawks were third in the East before Horford went down.

They were able to push the #1 seed to game 7.

There's something there but, I could see everyone's point. They didn't have a splashy offseason.

Curious to see other peoples point of views and the reasons for them.

I think 4th is high but they were missing their best player

For me, the Hawks are definitely not better than the Charlotte Hornets. We already know what we're getting from Al Jefferson. Kemba Walker had a solid season last year and he's looking to take the next step. Lance Stephenson was a fantastic addition and fills a huge hole at the SG position. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been working on his game intensely during the off-season. He has completely re-tooled his shooting motion, so his scoring ability and efficiency should improve and that is added to an already awesome defensive player.

The top four teams in no order should be: Cavaliers, Bulls, Hornets and Wizards. The Hawks are a really well coached team and they have some nice players, but their postseason success is a bit exaggerated. The Indiana Pacers stumbled into the postseason, they were the #1 seed by virtue of having an amazing first half of the season. They were pretty mediocre during the 2nd half of the regular season and continued that into the playoffs. The Pacers also struggled vs the Washington Wizards before eventually going down to the Miami Heat.
