Being Objective about the Hawks.

[Richesly]

Hawks are ranked top 5 in both offensive and defensive rating.

They were ranked 20th in SOS before playing Philly and Boston, but are at 25th now. Can't bring this stat up until all 82 games are played.

They are ranked #1 with assists per game as a team.

They are ranked 19th in TOPG as a team.

Sadly, they are 29th in offensive rebounds, a area where we need to improve in.
We are ranked 17th in defensive rebounding, so we need to improve in rebounding in general.

We are ranked 3rd in EFF FG%, as well as TS%.

Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague will most likely be all stars.

The highest PER on the team is 23.33, and Jeff Teague holds it.

The only teams they havent beaten in the league are the Lakers, Phoenix, and GSW.

We have not played GSW and PHO yet.

I believe this team can make it to the ECF comfortably. It depends on the match up from there.

So you lost to the Lakers?

So you lost to the Lakers?

Yes, but I hope to get a revenge win against them in our next match up.

I don't remember the Hawks beating the Spurs this year. When was that?

The Hawks won't be judged by their regular season prowess.. So until the playoffs, no more threads about their "achievements" need to expressed.

The league is wide open this year and so is the east. They can make the ECF or the finals even but nothing's a given. If they drew a bad match up in the first or second round anything is possible. They are a great team with no player taking more than 14 shots per game which means that while they don't have a superstar, they have a lot of guys who can hurt you. I like them and they are in a great position. The season is long however, and nothing is accomplished "comfortably".

It's forgivable, Hawks fans aren't used to having a good team. It's only natural that they wouldn't know how to handle themselves. And this will all be just a memory come playoff time anyway.

And the Thunder, little boy.

I'm sorry, I totally forgot about the Spurs.

[Richesly]

And the Thunder, little boy.

Yeah, forgot two teams, oh well. It was off the top of my head.

Edited my post to clarify, but totally agree. Hope they prove me wrong (and ignoring their shitty fans for a second here, they're an awesome group of guys). The true embodiment of TEAM basketball.
