The Atlanta Hawks are a much deeper team than they were
going into the playoffs last season. With a starting lineup of Jeff Teague, Joe
Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams and Al Horford the Hawks had one of the
most talented starting lineups of all 16 teams that were in the postseason last
year.
Sadly they had no bench. The only player that made any major
contributions for the Hawks off the bench last season was Jamal Crawford but
this year their bench production has been much improved.
