Great read by one of the pro BBall writers over at Bleacher Report.
This squad isn't just some flash in the pan, rolling through the Eastern Conference only because that half of the NBA is at a historic low point. Atlanta isn't going to fade away into obscurity and mediocrity anytime soon, even if the team still inexplicably doesn't draw in enough outside viewers who would surely appreciate watching the pristine ball movement and three-point prowess.
No, these Hawks are here to stay.
...the Hawks are scoring 108.1 points per 100 possessions and allowing 103.1 over the same span. That gives them the No. 11 and No. 7 finishes in those two categories, respectively, and the combination undoubtedly makes them one of the top two-way squads in the Association. Are the Hawks elite on either end? Not really, but they're quite good on both.
