About Atlanta Hawks

When it comes to the Atlanta Hawks, the team isn?t exactly rich with NBA tradition. The Atlanta Hawks started as the Tri-City Blackhawks, hailing from the cities of Moline and Rock Island Ill., as well as Davenport, IA., along the Mississippi River. Throughout the years the team had stints in Milwaukee and St. Louis, winning its only club championship in 1958. The Tri-Cities Blackhawks joined the National Basketball League in the 1946-47 season, when the NBL included such teams as the Toledo Jeeps, the Youngstown Bears, the Oshkosh All-Stars, and the Sheboygan Redskins.

In 1968 new owners moved the club to Atlanta. During the off-season of 1972, the Hawks underwent two important changes. After having shared Alexander Memorial Hall with the Georgia Tech basketball team for five years, the Atlanta Hawks moved into the brand-new 16,500-seat Omni. The club also experienced the end of the Richie Guerin era. After 7 1/2 seasons at the helm Guerin stepped aside, leaving the Atlanta Hawks with a 327-291 career record. (Two decades later he still owned the club record for coaching victories.) To replace Guerin the Hawks hired Lowell "Cotton" Fitzsimmons, who came to Atlanta from Phoenix, where he had piloted the Suns to a 49-33 mark the season before. Propelled by the high-scoring duo of Hudson (27.1 ppg) and Maravich (26.1), Atlanta performed well under Fitzsimmons. The Hawks won in their debut at the Omni on October 15, 1972, downing New York, 109-101. During the 1973-74 seasons Pete Maravich took more shots than anybody in the league and finished No. 2 in the circuit in scoring with 27.7 points per game. But the Hawks finished 35-47 and out of the playoffs, ending an 11-year run of postseason appearances.

On September 3, 1982, the Atlanta Hawks made a move that would shape their identity for the next decade. The Hawks sent John Drew and Freeman Williams to the Utah Jazz for rookie Dominique Wilkins. The former University of Georgia star and future "Human Highlight Film" earned a spot on the 1982-83 NBA All-Rookie Team by averaging 17.5 points. Rollins led the league in blocked shots with 343. Roundfield led Atlanta in scoring (19.0 ppg) and rebounding (11.4 rpg). But the Hawks won only one game more than in the previous season and were once again eliminated from postseason play in the first round.

The Atlanta Hawks dipped into the free agent market during the 1996 off-season and came away with one of its biggest catches, both literally and figuratively. Dikembe Mutombo, the 7-2 center from Zaire, instantly transformed Atlanta into one of the finest defensive teams in the NBA. Mutombo, one of eight new Hawks, led the Hawks to a 56-26 record and a berth in the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the third time in four years under Coach Lenny Wilkens. Mutombo finished second in the league in blocked shots (3.3 bpg) and in rebounding (11.6 rpg) on his way to winning the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award for the second time in his career. One of his closest competitors was teammate Mookie Blaylock, who led the Atlanta Hawks with 2.72 steals per game. Defense was the Hawks' specialty, but Atlanta's offense was potent as well. Christian Laettner enjoyed his best pro season, averaging 18.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Laettner joined Mutombo on the Eastern Conference All-Star team. The backcourt tandem of Steve Smith and Blaylock also provided spark. Smith scored a team-high 20.1 ppg, while Blaylock averaged 17.4 ppg and a team-high 5.9 assists. On December 17, the Atlanta Hawks set an NBA record with 19 three-point field goals in a 109-73 win over Dallas. In January, the team won 10 straight games and set a franchise record for most wins in any month (14) en route to the seventh 50-win season in Hawks history. In their last season at the Omni, the Hawks went 36-5, equaling the best home record in team history. In a first-round playoff battle with Detroit, the Atlanta Hawks won the decisive fifth game in front of the home crowd. Atlanta's second round opponent, the eventual champion Chicago Bulls, gave the Atlanta Hawks a little more than they could handle even though in Game 2 Atlanta became the first team in 14 tries to beat the Bulls in Chicago. However, Atlanta's win seemed to rekindle the fire in the Bulls, who won the best-of-7 series 4-1. 

The new millennium has left the Atlanta Hawks and their fans disappointed to say the least. Late in the 2004 season found reason to believe in the future however as a rash of trades has seemed to free up cap room to attract some big name free agents or draft picks in the off-season.
