Dwight Howard was signed by the Atlanta Hawks in free agency this past offseason. It was a move that many questioned, especially given the attitude issues that he had with the Houston Rockets. Atlanta’s offseason didn’t go nearly according to plan. They were hoping to re-sign star big man Al Horford, but seeing him sign with the Boston Celtics ended that hope. Signing Howard was an obvious fix for that loss and there is no question that the Hawks are happy with how things went. Last night against the Indiana Pacers, Howard showed just how valuable he can be. He scored 23 points to go along with 20 rebounds and nearly single-handedly deflated the Pacers. Without him on the floor, the outcome could have been very different from the 96-85 win that it was for Atlanta. At 30-years-old, it has become obvious that heading home to Atlanta is exactly what the dominant big man needed. - See more at: http://thecomeback.com/crossoverchr...the-atlanta-hawks-a-legitimate-contender.html
