Mike Budenholzer had the best yearbook quote

Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer coaches against the Washington Wizards in the first quarter in game one of the second round of the NBA Playoffs. at Philips Arena.

The Hawks-Cavaliers series isn't just a battle between the East's two best teams, but it's also become a battle of high school yearbook quotes.

J.R. Smith's high school yearbook quote was, "Get chicks or die trying." Smith also hit eight 3s in Game 1. One of those facts is a surprise -- I'll let you guess.

But nothing beats the yearbook quote of Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer. The NBA's Coach of the Year is a graduate of Holbrook High School in Arizona. Our Paul Coro did an excellent job tracing back Budenholzer's Arizona roots in this piece.

But his yearbook quote was something else.

"It's time to make the doughnuts."

Wonderful.

The quote is from an old Dunkin Donuts commercial, but it actually speaks volumes to the workman-like mentality of the Atlanta Hawks. Maybe a stretch, but I'll allow it.
