The worst season in Hawks history is finally over. No more twenty-point blowouts to watch; no more half-empty arenas; no more embarrassment when you tell people you write about the Hawks (personal experience). It?s all over.?.at least until next season.

This is the time we?ve all been waiting for?the offseason. Yes, I know the playoffs are going on, but for us die-hard Hawks fans, the offseason speculation is running rampant.

Why are we so excited? It?s simple?all the struggles of this season were for the summer. The reason we cleaned house was to set ourselves up to make a run at some top-notch free agents and potentially land the top pick in the draft. Hawks fans can?t help but think of all the possibilities?the uber-talented line-ups, the free agent signings, trades, draft picks, etc.
