Of course the ATL
Yes. That team peaked in January. This team has the setup to get further.

I'm not sure what this team's peak is, but as of right now I'm not taking them over last year's Jan version of these Hawks. Even tho that team peaked in Jan, that peak was still an all time Hawks team. This team is playing great now, but not at that level

We saw what February and March brought us.

Yea but they still made the ECF (and don't forget that Bud rested players down the stretch too)...depending on the matchup this team might not make it past the first round

:beli:

They clawed vs a shytty Brooklyn and wizards team to get to that ecf..not exactly what you expect from a #1 seed 60 win team. I'll arguebwe should face a easier road now based on us playing like a top 4 team in the L

Avxl will never be satisfied. We do something great, gotta find something new to be a problem. Bench playing great then we gotta change the lineup.:francis:


This team is definitely better than last. Its not even debatable. Just look at the record they had after going 35-3 post January.

Its not debateable that a 44 win team is better than a 60 win team that dominated the western conference and made the ECFs ?

What are you talking about? :dwillhuh: The team is playing great right now, I have no complaints. But am I wrong to disagree that this team isn't as good as last yr's team at its peak? Is it that much of a leap for me to feel that way?

I feel better about this team going into the playoffs than I did coming into March, but again depending on the matchup the first round could be a problem.

That team was starting lineup dominated. This year, our bench is much better and Sap and Horford are better than last year.

Teague isnt...If they got knocked out in the first round will it still be a better season ? Basically this team has to get back to the ECF to be equal to last year cuz the regular season isnt equal and i dont see that happening...

Yall had 4 all stars last year and either Jan or Feb yall had an incredible winning streak and were going out west and sweeping teams...Yall aint doing that shyt this year,even if its been a good march.
