Agreed. It's starting to scare me...

Have we become so accustomed to failure that now we're afraid to succeed?

I don't think anyone is afraid of success. I think some people are probably wary about the bar being set too high for this team (over the Suns, for example) and the press hammering them if they don't meet the artificially inflated expectations.

Still it is nice to get some positive press for a change. It's been awhile.

[Hawk88]

Yes, that is crazy, they have Phoenix ranked at No. 9, behind the Hawks?

Come on............I am hoping for improvment but that is pretty crazy.

[BusBoyIsBack]

Look where they have the Bulls.

That's just ridiculous.

Of course I wouldn't mind if they were somehow that bad because that's one more open playoff spot

It isn't college football. It is basically a snapshot on how teams are playing today.

We shall see Wednesday night!

We weren't scared when they ranked us in the 20's-30.

It's the first week or so of the power rankings and they are just giving us the spot we earned. If that opinion differs later it will show on the next power rankings.

Just like winning and losing is a habit for the teams the same can be said for the fans. We got to get in a habit of enjoying and supporting success!!

[LongTimeHawksFan]

I'll take all the love that we can get after the last eight years of being the laughingstock in everyone else's eyes. It is amazing what a couple of ping pong balls can do.

haha i like how they call JJ and Horford "grown-ass men"
