BAD TIMES
Bruce Levenson’s Atlanta Hawks he says that black people are scaring white people from buying tickets which is racist.
My Predictions
The Hawks are good team which i think they are making it to the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if Hawks play the 2015 finals with Warriors.The Hawks will be a great team next year if they hold on to their coach.
