I could find nothing that conclusively verifies that Nintendo of America has any ownership of the Atlanta Hawks...so I removed the reference. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NathanMazoa (talk • contribs).

Losing winners?

"...the Hawks had all losing records during this period and won the national championship." This makes no sense at all, so I'm editing it out. Rlquall 17:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

End of the Omni

THings like the implosion of the Omni, the Hawks playing at Alexander Memorial Coliseum and the Georgia Dome while Philips Arena was being built, and the like, need to be covered, but by someone with a lot more Hawks knowledge than me; they are glaring omissions in the current article.

Buffalo Bisons

The National Basketball League (United States) page links here from the name "Buffalo Bisons". I did a search on this page and did not find either component of that name. There is also a link from another NBL (US) team, the Tri-Cities Blackhawks, that is explained. Is there a link between the Atlanta Hawks and the Buffalo Bisons? Is it through the Blackhawks? Buffalo is listed as active in 1946 and Tri-Cities from 1946 until 1949, did the one become the other? Can someone who is knowledgeable about this please address this? --Khajidha (talk) 13:40, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While the Hawks don't mention the Buffalo Bisons in their history, that's actually how they started according to records such as this which has in the footnote for the Tri-Cities Blackhawks: "Started the season as the Buffalo Bisons before moving to Moline, IL." Because the change happened in the middle of the season, it's often overlooked, even by the franchise itself. --JonRidinger (talk) 23:43, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

It should read "The Hawks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history, when they lost," or "in which they lost," NOT "where they lost." The Eastern Conference Finals is an a event or a time, not a place.

The "Finals" should also be capitalized.

Is there a reason why the NBA mascots of the Atlanta Hawks, Harry the Hawk, is not on this article? - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 03:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to the talk page looking for reasoning on this. I'm trying to compile data about all the teams, including mascots, and am curious about the omission. †dismas†|^(talk) 00:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
