Hawks have the 2nd toughest schedule.

You got to wait a little for a bigger sample size though.

We should have the #1 strength of schedule after tonight's game.

We might rank ahead of Boston after tonight. Wow.

Rockets and Hawks are the only teams who have 2 wins against top 10 teams. Wowow.

Stephen A Smith on ESPn just gave us some props as well, People things are really looking great, If we just continue to do the little things to help us win games . We mus always play together as a team though.
