Atlanta Hawks Headlines: Moving Forward

In the midst of a five-game losing streak, Atlanta Hawks Headlines tries to move forward. Can the Hawks finally grab a win without Paul Millsap?

Wouldn’t it be nice to talk about something other than a five-game losing streak? The Atlanta Hawks just won’t let us do that. It’s not their fault. They’re missing two players from their starting five and winning games in the NBA is hard. Especially when the schedule doesn’t do you any favors.

Atlanta Hawks Headlines will try to move past the recent losing. It’s time to focus on the future. The Hawks still have an opportunity to get things turned around before the playoffs begin. It won’t be easy, and the return of Paul Millsap is required to make that happen, but it’s possible.

They tried to get things turned around last night against the Milwaukee Bucks. At Soaring Down South, we previewed the game and analyzed the matchup to watch. Other outlets across the web featured articles about Dwight Howard‘s Hall of Fame chances, construction on Atlanta’s new practice facility, and more.

Let’s take a look what folks are saying about the Hawks.

Atlanta Hawks Game Preview: March 24th at Milwaukee Bucks

Our preview for Atlanta’s meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks focused on Milwaukee’s up and down season. The Bucks have had a drastic turnaround this season. A mid-season lull had them looking like a lottery team. The consistent play of Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the return of Khris Middleton, has made them into a playoff team. The Hawks have won all three meetings this season, but those games came with Paul Millsap healthy and productive. Did Atlanta finally notch a win without Paul Millsap? Or did Milwaukee continue their ascent up the Eastern Conference standings?
