No way to deny this team's greatness anymore.

**** man. Didn't realize y'all had it like that.

Those two losses early were when Horford was not in game shape either. If he was healthy then the Hawks would be undefeated against the West.

Glad to see you own up and admit you were wrong. Not many on realgm ever do that. #respect

Tough run, bold above I'd predict they'll drop

Portland dosent stand a chance.

I'm sure we'll get a Lakers or Knicks game instead :nonono:

I think they'll get beat by Philly. Hawks will get too relax and lose.

It is only January but I'm so pumped up for a possible Warriors vs. Hawks finals.

The streak will fall but I hope their play continues. This is great for the NBA because just 4 weeks ago it didn't look like any team in the east was even going to challenge the west in the finals. The Hawks look legit getting some excellent wins.

they wont lose in that 1st home stand but could lose any of the next 4 after. I predict the Wiz go small and take them down

the finals is nice but to me it makes the east playoffs alot better. Chances are the 4/5 matchup will be great and the 2nd & 3rd rpunds will definetly be exciting to watch

Never trust a record in total before the ASB.

I'm sticking to the same thing I said before the season and ever since.

The East is rising. They would have a slower start then the West as a hole but come on strong in the 2nd half. Barring major injuries. i.e. PG

TOR off to a fast start was expected. Easy sch. Returning team.
CLE and CHI would take some time to gel, then come on strong.
WAS I expected to have exactly the record they do as I forecast their record before the season started month by month

Its ATL that is finally putting it together and staying healthy they is the icing that. Its the depth and players like Schroder.

Those 5 teams are going to be in it.

MIA it might take until next year until they can fill out the roster to deal with LJ leaving. Then they should be in it again.

Its going to take another year for the conference to fill out the bottom half, but its getting there.
MIL is starting to turn to corner this year. Young core.
DET is finally getting in going post Josh Young core.
IND will rebound with PG
ORL will one day get over the hump like MIL is. Young core.

Still hard for me to totally trust that TOR team as being playoff ready and we still have to see ATL post ASB but I expect the top 5 in the East plus maybe DET to be tough.

For ATL. It all about staying healthy. They were good last year until they go injuries.

That would be a miracle if Randy did that and you know it.

They will need to do something, that's for sure. Last game ATL stomped them.

Going small would make sense to match up with them though. One thing is for sure. Wiz have to shoot a lot more 3s next game. Can't bet ATL just going inside and trading 2s for 3s.

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers. The longest winning streak in NBA history belongs to the L.A. Lakers, who captured 33 victories in a row during the 1971-1972 season

This is probably true. Gregg Popovich, and coach Mike Budenholzer are known for sitting starters like Duncan and Parker, or Millsap and Teague against certain teams just to give them rest. that is because coach Budenholzer knows that the NBA season is a marathon and values team health over streaks.

Hawks rest three starters vs. Sixers

Hawks have lost only 3 times since Thanksgiving Eve. Impressive. Brooklyn could be a tramp game and now that Aldridge is back, the Blazers match up is a bit more interesting. If they get past those 2, then I believe the streak ends in Memphis.

Lucky they're not playing the Cavs anytime soon
