Atlanta Hawks best defensive team in the NBA.

[Richesly]

Also, top 3 team in the NBA.

Our defense is unbelievable. Josh Smith for DPOY.

Should have had it last year with Howard out.

Not the best Man defender but easily the best help defender in the league.

Josh Opponent Production is currently at a 9.1 PER, And so far, when Josh plays SF, the opposing SF is posting a PER of 3.1

Also the MOST UNDERRATED DEFENDER IN THE LEAGUE KYLE KORVER: He's holding his opponent counterpart at SG to a PER of 2

Ranked 2nd allowing 92 ppg.
Ranked 2nd allowing 42.7 fg %.
Ranked 1st in creating turnovers at 18

Hopefully the Nets can move up in defensive efficiency (11) with a good showing at Orlando tonight. Get into the top 10! That's good for the Hawks. If Dwight and Paul go there next year and team up with Josh Smith then they will be a defensive force unlike any other.

If Dwight can get back to 100% and re-learn how to play defense (he seems to have forgotten)

Him and Smith will be one of the most amazing defensive front courts in recent memory.

Can't remember if anyone since the Spurs had Tim and Robinson (and Elliot)

Well, they're getting lit up by Cleveland tonight.

Second, if you watch the team you notice that even the weakest players can break the Hawks defense. I mean, just tonight Donald Sloan has broke down their defense and got into the paint for a layup like 3 times in the first half. DONALD SLOAN.

Now they're getting destroyed by Jeremy Pargo.

Name a good or great defensive team that didn't have lapses... I'll wait.

Cleveland has been making some TOUGH shots down the stretch. You can't make them work any harder on some of these.

The Hawks give up big games to mediocre players and journeymen almost nightly. That Cleveland team is terrible and not very talented. Yet, they lost to them at home. They barely beat the Bobcats twice. They suck.
