Atlanta Hawks
PREDICTED FINISH: 16th 41-41
ACTUAL FINISH : 11th 43-39
What I got right: I was close. This close. I correctly anticipated the Hawks plunge from the nearly elite to the scraping to enter the playoffs . I correctly anticipated Bembry’s non factor this season. I called on Dwight Howard to miss a few games (eight to be exact). I even pointed out that Schroeder would handle the load this year.
What I got wrong: I did not anticipate the team’s waiving Jarrett Jack. That meant the team was comfortable with younger guards.
