The Hawks are 5-0! Nobody cares.
It seems strange to mention the Hawks in the same sentence with the Lakers, but after two weeks these teams have something in common: they have yet to lose a game this season. The Hawks have a young team that is playing with tremendous defensive intensity and focus. Only the Lakers allow fewer points to opponents than the Hawks. This improved defensive focus can be attributed to the veteran leadership of G Mike Bibby, or possibly to the closing of the NBA beehive/strip joint The Gold Club following a prolonged government investigation and subsequent trial. Joe Johnson (25.2 ppg) leads the Hawks into Chicago tonight to take on the Bulls, who are battling injuries. Expect the longtime Eastern Conference doormat to improve to 6-0 with another win tonight.

Love the Hawks, especially when Josh Smith comes back.
I think everyone's shitting on them before the season when they had basically everyone back but Josh Childress, who isn't even a good play.
One of the most interesting things about this team, in my eyes, is to think about how good they'd be with Chris Paul instead of Marvin Williams. They could have had him, but got obsessed with size and upside.
