The Hawks are coming off a disappointing 2021-22 season in which they reached the Eastern Conference play-in game defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers, but ultimately were handled in the first round of the playoffs losing to the Heat in five games.
After pushing the Bucks to a six-game series in the Eastern Conference Finals in the 2020-21 season, can the Hawks get back to the upper tier of the conference or will they flirt with the play-in level once again?
