Are the Atlanta Hawks for real??
 

This team is 28-7, and came from nowhere. No Superstars, but 9 or 10 solid players. They have also won 9 straight games vs. Western Conference opponents...

They've been called 'East San Antonio'.

They just beat Washington tonight by 32 points....

38-8! won 31 of 33, holy cow.....

Are the Atlanta Hawks for real??
 

Definitely for real. They play complete, while getting contributions from a lot of players. Everyone gets their role and seem to hold themselves accountable. It'd be nice to see them make a run deep into the playoffs.

A very Telling stat is that the top two teams in assists per game are Golden State and Atlanta.

They're winning so much because they are keeping everyone involved, which helps not only the offense, but the defense.

This is the San Antonio model - and 'Pops' should be getting a lot more props!

When you depend on two or three 'superstars' they begin to break down from the load...see D.Wade, L.James, K.Bryant, etc.

Meanwhile, though he has aged, Tim Duncan is getting plenty of rest during the regular season and while the Spurs are 'only' 30-17, they may be better prepared for the post-season.

18 straight wins...are you kidding me! How did they do that?

They are now 40-8, won 33 of 35 games. Absolutely mind boggling!!
