The Remark of the Atlanta Hawks

Have you ever expected an underdog team to ever be the greatest team at its prime? No one ever has. That's what the Atlanta Hawks were first viewed as. A crappy, losing team that will never be one of the best elite teams in the league. But, since they're blazing hot fire start people start to finally "believe" that is team can be a team! No, there's not a star player on the team. But, there's plenty of all star caliber players that make this team so difficult to guard. Especially, on the 3 point line. This team is very unselfish. A word that is rarely used in the NBA when it comes down to teams. But, that's why this Hawks team is ranked in the top 5 teams for assists currently. Their deadly ball movement caused the defending team plenty of difficulty guarding shooters like Kyle Korver wide open 3 pointers. Then, Their extremely talented point guard Jeff Teague has taken the league's attention as one of the best point guards in the National Basketball Association. He's 2nd right behind Paul Millsap for most points per game and leads the whole team with most amount of assists. He has proven to an enormous amount of NBA fans that he can be athletic and explosive as Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook. Then, there's Paul Millsap. One of the best shooting big men in the league that can put the ball on the floor and create his own shot. At first when he came into the hawks via Free Agency, we thought that he was going to remain as the same player he was when he was with the Utah Jazz. Think again. His outstanding play on offense and defense remarkably shows why he's an back to back All Star.They still needthat one piece to make their way to that championship run. Now, with Horford, the Hawks are 1st in the Eastern conference and no.1 in their own conference. Also, the real fans of the Atlanta Hawks are finally going to their home games and making an playoff atmosphere that will make the opposing team have a difficulty time executing their game plans. But, with 3 all stars and an excellent all star coach, can the Hawks still maintain this "Spurs East" offense when it come down to the playoffs and potentially winning a championship?
