    The Hawks were good last year, and are even better now with the addition of Jamal Crawford. They have a solid starting lineup and a good bench. There is a glaring weakness with Marvin Williams though. He's not a great scorer and is often times out manned on defense.

    They've got a lot of talent, but it will just be a matter of them staying consistent throughout the year and into the playoffs.

        yeah they look fantastic so far. Re Marvin at least now they can sub in Crawford swap JJ to the 3 and they don't miss a beat, JCraw has to be right up there as far as 6th man considerations so far imo.

          Be careful about getting excited with Jamal Crawford.

          His entire life has been: a couple of games worth of scoring binges, followed by about 2 weeks of 4-12 shooting, off the dribble 22 footers, no defense, no assists, basketball.

            LOL very true. Probably getting ahead of myself there.

            From what i have seen he's actually playing some semblance of defense now, amazing what playing for a good team can do for player (and the public's perception of him as well).

              crawford is looking good and he's playing for a good coach who demands defense and hustle from his players. those things will always be there even when he's not shooting well, so i'm not worried at all about him. he's definitely in a perfect situation and playing very well.

                Good points. Also I think the fact that the team was very successful last year without him helps. It shows that the Hawks were already a good team and have enough pieces in place where if Crawford doesn't have a good game then they'll be ok. That's really how I see the Hawks right now overall. They are such a deep team that they will be able to get away with certain guys not having good games every now and then.

                  Crawford is a perfect 6th man. Even more so than J.R. Smith.

                        Spurs putting themselves behind the 8 ball early on at 4-6 (worst ever start for a Popovich Spurs team)

                        history of Spurs starts over past decade:

                        08-09: 5-5
                        07-08: 8-2
                        06-07 : 8-2 , won championship
                        05-06: 8-2
                        04-05 : 8-2 , won championship
                        03-04 : 5-5
                        02-03 : 6-4 , won championship
                        01-02 : 8-2
                        00-01 : 7-3
                        99-00 : 7-3

                          I think that 03-04 season got as bad as 9-10

                          I don't think they looked that good with a full line-up this year. It's just not working.

                            Phoenix has not won a game on Thursday night since March 13th, 2008. Did that research myself.

                              Never EVER count out a Poppovich and Duncan lead team. NEVER.
