Now writers are using the word "credible" Though we are flawed, particularly in the frontcourt, we probably have the best guard rotation in the NBA so we will be dangerous in the playoffs.

Yea boiiiii!

Crawford for 6th man of the year!

A little surprised the Denver is ahead of the Hawks even though the Hawks just beat them and the teams have the same record.. go figure.

Don't sweat the small stuffs.

They were the #2 team in the West. Lost to us on their 4th game in 5 nights at the end of a long road trip - without JR & Kmart. We have much to prove before experts put us ahead of them. I think we will.

They're also number 6 in the cnnsi.com rankings:

Atlanta Hawks (5-2)

They are a hard team to figure out. They won at Portland and at home against Denver last week but were blown out by 20 at Charlotte, in the process surrendering 103 points to a Bobcats team that came in averaging an NBA-low 79.8. They will face their biggest test of the young season on Friday when they meet the Celtics in Boston.

It's like the media recognizes the talent - both placing the HAwks as the sixth best in the NBA thusfar - but they're scared to justify it because we're the Hawks. Although, with the embarrassing loses (despite the good ones mentioned) are we really the sixth best team in these irrevalent rankings?
