The Spurs beat you to that. Sure, Duncan and Parker are legitimate "superstars", but they don't act like it.

There definitely seems to be good team chemistry on the Hawks. It was funny last night to see everybody on the bench cheering when Kyle Korver unexpectedly dunked the ball (he's not known for doing that). They're having fun and seem to like each other - unlike, say, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Hey, at least they're in the conversation this year. Who expected that? They have a legitimate chance of making the finals, which would be a first for this team.

Going to wait until it's a little more safe to jump on the bandwagon?

Bandwagons are never safe to jump on!

Kudos to the Hawks. I hope they make a deep run in the postseason. Bring this team and this city a little more respect.

I know, what an impossible standard, the I'm not going to be a fan until they win a Championship. I remember going to a GS game circa 2011, they were hosting Toronto. Both teams were lousy, but the game was packed. I remember going to the Hawks vs Toronto a few weeks later at Phillips, the Hawks were a playoff team and I felt like I was in a mausoleum. Atlanta Fans have been outstanding this year, Phillips is a great place to watch basketball.

Me and my family will be at Philips Arena tomorrow night as the Hawks take on the Thunder... should be a good game!

2nd game I'm going to watch this season at Philips (I normally watch 2-3 regular season games).

Been a fan since I moved to ATL, its nice to see them doing really well now. Although, Im not used to them being at the very top of the Eastern Conference and the Power Rankings!

Lets go Hawks!

I agree with this. It's good to see more people on board. The odd thing about it is that the Hawks are the only pro team here that has consistently made the playoffs for the past few years. It doesn't help that they haven't been past the second round, but there are cities that would kill for their teams to even make the postseason, much less make it out of the first round.

This may be the year where the Hawks at least make the Eastern Conference Finals or, dare I say, the NBA Finals. I am not an Atlanta native, but I hope the folks here in town get on board now rather than wait until after they make the Finals or even win a title. Part of the thrill of being a fan of a team is following them WHILE they are climbing the ladder towards a title, not AFTER they win one.

On another note, it is refreshing to see less bandwagon Heat fans around town *lol*
