While they have been inconsistent during the year their last two victories ending the streaks of arguably the two hottest teams in West or the NBA for that matter. If I am a team in the East I would hate to see this team in a 7 game series. First they cause an abundance of match up issues and they are getting more and more confident as the year goes on, and as of today the have home court. The only thing that could be an issue is player coach relationship as they have had some problems with Josh but overall they are one of toughest match ups to have in the playoffs.

They're not winning no ship this year but they will be making some noise.#RespectTheCulture -

Man I hope we get Cavs-Hawks playoff series. The atmosphere in that series would be amazing.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: I See You ATL
Not to mention a possible LeBron-Smoove offensive-defensive duel (and dunkfest)... that would be a great series.
And yeah, I've been high on the Hawks all season despite their struggles... they're as dangerous as any team in the league, especially with their improved and under-the-radar bench, which has been extremely solid. Who would've thought Flip Murray would be a big contributor on a playoff team? And Marvin Williams' shooting has been phenomenal this season... too bad he might be out with that back problem for the rest of the year (not sure if that would include playoffs or not).Send your Midnight Release weirdo pics/videos to my new website: http://www.peopleofmidnightreleases.com!Comment

Re: I See You ATL
Must be nice to have a half court offense, an actual starting shooting guard and young players at the positions they are supposed to play and develop.Comment

Re: I See You ATL
The Hawks are a nice team...F Bibby though as he is playing crappy right now, and I traded David West for him 3/4 weeks ago in one of my fantasy leagues; now West is beasting.
Anyways...I loved watching that C's/Hawks matchup last postseason.
Can't wait to see what they can do this year, after that experience vs the C's, and another year together.Originally posted by Edmund BurkeComment

Re: I See You ATL
Marvin Williams has been the most consistent Hawk all year. I hope he can make it back for the playoffs. Flip has been doing his thing too. Josh Smith on the other hand...somebody needs to sit him down and tell him he can't shoot 3s (and long 2s for that matter).Today I realized something. I'm a clown. A class clown... and it sickens me. - Bart Simpson (The Simpsons)Comment

Re: I See You ATL
Marvin Williams has impressed me big time. They still don't give the ball to Horford enough and at times Joe Johnson can be a ball stopper and kill offense. Josh Smith is still a pretty bad offensive player outside of 4-5 feet. Do love what Flip and Mo Evans are doing off that bench though, color me suprisedComment

Re: I See You ATL
If the Hawks had a better PG I would love to watch them. Sorry but Mike Bibby just doesn't get it done for me.Comment

Re: I See You ATL
Sucks that Marvin Williams got injured. He is a legit outside 3 pt threat.
With Marvin Williams, the Hawks have the potential to beat the Celtics and Cavs and Magic.Comment

Re: I See You ATL
Let's not act like Hawks are a lock for the second round or anything. I really like the Hawks players but Josh Smith and Al Horford are having somewhat disappointing seasons and they're only around 5 games above .500 ball since their 6 game win streak to open the season. The Heat with Dwyane Wade could very possibly take out the Hawks in the first round. Very inconsistent team that I could see losing in the first round or giving a top seed a lot of trouble in the second round.MLB: New York Yankees
