"It's a big accomplishment," Hawks forward Josh Smith said. "There's a lot of guys who play a whole career and don't make it. I think if we get our act together, we can do something special this year."

"There was no need for us to really panic, but we wanted to come out here and play well tonight," center Al Horford said after scoring a team-high 23 points with 12 rebounds. "I think this is the start of something good for us as far as playing the right way."

I remember a few seasons back when this was considered huge. I guess it's a good thiing that we have come to expect more out of our team after all these years.

We're not terribly good, and we'll probably get hammered in the post-season. But making it is one of our goals and should be celebrated. i'm almost willing to shut down JJ, Smith and AL so they can rest and we can get our young guys some playing time.

Oh, wait. We don't have any young guys...
