Hawks = Detriot Championship Version 2

[Gambit99]

I'm not saying we'll win the title this year, but we seem to have similarities to the championship version of Detriot. Given a year or two of maturity and I believe we'll be competing at that level.

That year Rip was their primary scorer, but any of the four could go for 20 on a given night. Teams never knew which two or three guys would kill them. Defensively they had an undersized center/bruiser grabbing rebounds and a deep bench.

Bullips = Law (Big pg who could drive/dish and shoot)

Rip = JJ (Primary player who quietly killed you)

Prince = Smith (All around player who hurt teams many ways)

Sheed = Marvin (Good outside shooter)

Ben = Horford (Big rebounder and put back points)

Although I think our bench is a bit better, both have/had good role players.

Just a thought after seeing how the win over Phx was a team effort w/JJ not having a normal night. If I'm Woody, I got these guys studing tape from that year.

They beat the heavly favored Lakers and we can beat the heavely favored Celtics
