[QUOTE=cmkeller]  
Asimovian - Atlanta? Is that a mistake, or an intentional comment on the state of the Hawks?  
[/QUOTE]  
Heh…I realized my mistake afterwards, but it just goes to show how little attention I pay to basketball these days. I honest-to-God thought the Hawks had moved and taken on another name because I haven’t heard a word about them in years. I suppose the Lakers and Clippers don’t play them very often because I haven’t seen a Hawk-related highlight since I don’t know when.

Oh, I know. That’s why I was specifically looking for a factual answer to the question, which **What Exit?** provided.

> [@](#):

The post immediately following yours made that very worthwhile. 🙂
