monster game.. 27 points on 9-18 shooting and a cool 17 boards to go with it. Guys a beast. Hawks now 6 - 0 to start the season. Team looked pretty strong even without Smith in the line up.

They're benefiting from having essentially the same tea and same system as last year. I read somewhere also that they're defensive system is finally being followed and working a treat.
Horford is a good player, and I would expect to see games like that from time to time, but he is still not one of the premier big men in the game. If he can find some consistency to produce night in night out then it will be time to get excited.
Atlanta do look good, but they're not a contender. 1st round exit, maybe second if they're lucky I say
I have Horford in my fantasy team. Always good for 10 or so rebounds.
Atlanta and Portland could be very strong on 2-3 years time.

Lots to like about the hawks. I would have the celt and cavs in front of em still, but then an arguement could be made that if AI doesn't work in with Detroit, Hawks could be the 3rd best team in the east...

Yeah, I think after Boston and Cleveland the East is wide open. Detroit, Toronto, Atlanta and Orlando should be in the playoffs again. Philly are good on paper but haven't produced much yet. Miami and Chicago could push for a spot this year and Indiana are looking better too.
