After leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 37-45 record, their first playoff berth in nine years and helping them stretch the top-seeded Boston Celtics to seven games in the first round, Mike Woodson was retained as the Hawks' head coach with a two-year extension offered to him by new general manager Rick Sund.

I think every other team in the league that thinks they have a shot at the title is hoping the Suns and Spurs play 6 more games like Game 1, and thus the winning team will have nothing left in them.
