I think since mid-January the Hawks have been #1 in Defensive Rating. I have maintained all season that I think the Hawks are going to make the playoffs. They just need to be hitting their stride as it comes around. I still believe that can happen

I don't think any of us doubted the Hawks would make the playoffs. However, whether or not they are legit title contenders is another story.

There was plenty of panic, if not here on the boards then on Twitter. I think if they are playing their very best and can get a few lucky breaks (maybe more than a few) that they can do something in the playoffs. I'm just not sure they can just flip the switch and turn it up

I agree with your statement in bold.  I also think that if they can get everyone hitting on all cylinders then they could surprise as well.

If they win tonight @Utahjazz tonight, then I will give them a good chance @toronto.  I like the Kris H. signing because this should stabilize their rebounding woes. They should have won that game @Golden State as well, but they came short by a thread of a needle.  

It would be very compelling if they could finish this week with a 39-28 record.  This means winning @Utah @Toronto , Memphis, and Indiana at home respectively.  This could propel them to a 50 win season.  So, the key game is tonight, and I think it will give them a lot of momentum going to Toronto.  They have to win tonight's game to keep the momentum.

It would be great if they could finish the season at 3, thus avoiding the Cavs in the 2nd round.

Thursday's Hawks Links: Offense catching up

9:42 AM ET
  • ESPN.com

Hawks offense starting to catch up with defense: The Hawks win with defense. Make no mistake. Atlanta remains second in the NBA in defensive efficiency (99.0) and sixth in points allowed (99.2). Those statistics have gotten increasingly better as the regular season nears its conclusion. -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Thabo is actually hitting some shots now.  Between Baze and him, we have a good chance of shutting down the other teams best players.  Not sure what happened that allowed DeRozen to go off on us in TO.  They've got to figure that out.  DeRozen was slicing and dicing our D.

Great Win tonight and so far the month of March is looking good.

I forgot which thread it was saying we miss pero and brand more than we think, but this is what I meant. You got 2 guys that stay in their lane, and don't care about PT their always ready whenever. 

 

Now this could all change of course, but this is what happens when you have more veteran presence on the bench.
