The gap in percentages is very small.

Seahawks are in the west

wait...

[MMM]

3rd easiest schedule in the nba

not impressed

why do people always say ish like this???

if people have actually watched the games they should be impressed by what the hawks are doing. Not that it means they are contenders all of a sudden but the lack of respect they get is ridiculous. Hawks about a week ago went into texas and got some wins in impressive fashion. So all this weak schedule talk is overblown because they are making their ops look like nobody.

Hawks come playoff time:



Can't knock the confidence though! Maybe some day they will be serious contenders.

Milsap was the player that the Rockets shoulda signed instead of Smith. Rockets had their chance to get him but passed on him.Milsap's shooting could have spaced the floor.

So you're saying they'll lose against BOS/BKN in the first round?

Bandwagon fans such as yourself are clueless.

I could see Brooklyn beating them. And do you honestly think Boston will hold onto a playoff spot? If Atlanta somehow gets Milwaukee or some other team in the first round, expect an upset, little boy.

Nobody's afraid of the Hawks. Mediocrity at its ****ing finest, baby.

[Milbuck]

You guys sure you'll hold on to that seed? Hate to bring it up again...but the Bucks are rocking a +12.5 differential vs the Hawks this year. You guys drop a couple spots to #3 and it's over for ATL in round 1, imo.

I don't really think we'll hold on to it, but damn it feels good

The number one seed in the conference in January? Who saw this coming?

Wow the east really is bad

Atlanta hasn't been this hot since Sherman's March to the sea.

Too soon

Weren't they number one last year before horford went down and they basically lost every game after that aside from the Miami game late in the season?

We weren't number one.
But we did have a streak of losing 14 out of 15, and then 6 in a row.
We had not only Horford out, but we lost Millsap, Antic, Brand for many games. We had some games where Mike Scott, was playing center.
And we had two exceptions to add players, and management refused to do so.
And yet the Knicks still couldn't get past us and into the playoffs.
