Record-wise they're tied for second. Which is still better than I thought they'd be, I'll admit. I'm still figuring at season's end ATL is behind Cleveland, Chicago, and Washington with Cleveland and Washington in the Conference final.

The Hawks need another rotation player.

Had them pegged as a sleeper team who overachieve at the beginning of the season. They've definitely exceeded my expectations...

Post-season success is mostly about match-ups, who stays healthy, and peaking at the right time. The Hawks can cause trouble vs some Eastern star-studded teams when it comes to matchups (assuming nothing changes via trades.) Health remains a question mark. Peaking at the right time remains a question mark.[/COLOR]
