When the Hawks were swept in the playoffs in the Semi-conference finals last season it was still an accomplishment. A humbling experience, but yet an accomplishment.
The city is willing to embrace this winner of a team that plays in "The highlight Factory" in the city of Atlanta.
The Hawks have been have been climbing the ladder year in and year out since the 2004 season and can be looked at as contending rather than pretending.
The moves that were made after that four-game sweep were impeccable. The trade to get scoring machine Jamal Crawford and experienced journeymen and former number 1 overall pick Joe Smith are highly touted and paying off.
A more mature Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, and Al Horford are all keys in the Hawks flying high towards the end of the month.
Fast forward to November of this season. Atlanta is at the top of the food chain right now and the only team right now that has what it takes to beat the Hawks is the Hawks.
