It's almost like the Hawks are playing on rookie mode.

All I've read on this board is Hawk bashing and this team is arguably better than ANYTHING we've ever assembled with much better coaching and a history of sustained SUCCESS.

We the Jam. We the Jelly.

The hawks are regular season pretenders that are going to get smoked in the playoffs, book it.

Horford, Teague, Korver, Milsap are all better than what we have.

Sure, but by that much more?

I say they're being coached and used properly. They all play unselfishly. They look to make plays for their teammates. They've been coached to look to make passes for better shots. And their offense puts them in positions to do so.

You see that pass that JJ just made to Lou in the corner? That's a sort of play that exemplifies a mentality. I think JJ is the one that most often showcases the sort of approach so desperately needed in this team. DD against the Sixers as well.

Atlanta is absolutely not more talented than us. Coaching is the one and only difference between the two teams, and it's a massive difference.

We are indeed more talented, their team IQ is second to the Spurs. We rank low there.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to say. I think they're slightly more talented, but not by as much as the score differential. The difference is systemic. And that's pretty much what Jack has been saying for the entire 2nd half now. Just not in such direct terms.

The smart move for Casey at this timeout is to take out every starter. Will he?
