If you look up "mediocre" in the dictionary...you're very likely to see the franchise of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks will always win 45 to 50 games a year....make the play-offs....exit the play-offs...with little buzz in the ATL.
The city has been waiting and waiting...and waiting. This is a great city with great facilities. The world's busiest airport. CNN, Coca-cola, UPS, Home Depot....
But when it comes to this organization....it's ...well bogged down in a mediocrity that's getting down right distasteful.
No big name coach was even courted....much less signed. And in the end?
We get a life long assistant coach...who we can't even pronounce his name.
Really? Atlanta Hawks? Really?
