With young teams if the going gets bad, they collapse on themselves. If the going gets good, (3-0) the confidence skyrockets and they play way over their heads. Its early, but this young teams defense is responsible for the 3-0 and their youthful exuberance will be in plain view tonight as they crash the boards and dive on every loose ball.
I like that the line has gone down to 2', many non-believers. We're on board early on this bandwagon.
:toast: Game played to form. Hawks playing sound defense leading to easy baskets.
From Espn:
"The four wins have come against teams that were in the playoffs last season, Orlando, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Toronto. The victories against Toronto and New Orleans were on the road.
In playing its best game of the season the Hawks looked similar to the team that pushed the Boston Celtics to seven games in the first round of last season's playoffs. Atlanta hadn't been in the postseason since 1998-99 before that run".
