Sure there are some bandwagon jumpers but they are more than welcomed, it makes life fun for the hope shot and often disappointed die hard fans of the ATL. It's great to see some new faces packing out Phillips arena, and screaming their heads off for a team who do nothing but play hard and play the right way. For years we have criticized Coach Woodson for what seemed to be his ineffective coaching style now after closer evaluation and a couple more wins we see maybe it not his own deficiencies but the team wasn't not totally buying into his system why heconstantly had that confused and dumbfounded look on his face all the time. The season to date the have won by following two basic principles Defense, this has been catalyst for this recovery thought it may not be over whelming in the stat book (15th in points given up), the have come through time and time again and leaned on their D when they really needed it. 
Unselfishness, with the offseason moves the team made the Hawks are now legitimately six deep with guys who can score at least 10 points on every night. The biggest proponent to that has to be the play of one Josh Smith. For years we have known that he posses all the physical tools to be great even the most critical of his detractors say he can be phenomenal if he ever gets his mind right and now it seems he is putting it all together. There have been a number of players in the league who like Josh were very athletic yet lacked a serious jumper and decision making skills. For these types of players to succeed and reach their full potential one or two things have to happen They either develop that jump shot or they stop shooting it. It seem josh has chosen the later group, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Best stat in basketball right now 12 games J-Smoove one three point attempt Man this cat is really maturing. This team shows that you don't have to just go out and spend unmissable amounts of money or just pick up Free agents to win, yes I'm talking to you "clear cap room and suck for a year in order to pray for one of the 2010 Elite, Type of owners." I guess there is something to say for continuity, and dare I say maybe Billy Knight knew what he was doing Nah, just a great team doing great things..
