Oh YES!
This was such a spectacular game, out of all the history making games last night, Amare 49/10/5/5/5, Tony Parker 55/7/10, Lebron James 41/9/6/5, all of those were great induvidual performances and their team won, but the Hawks win was the most impressive WIN with DEFENSE all of this season, last season, last's night's drubbing of New Orleans is probably the most impressive win of the Mike Woodson era Hawks.
Impressive for a number of reasons:
1. New Orleans Hornets average an NBA-leading 108.9 ppg
2. The Hawks were 5-0 in the Chris Paul era Hornets
3. At Orlando, home to Philadelphia, and at New Orleans, the Hawks have yet to allow an opposing team to score one point per possession. Opponents are averaging 93.3 points per 100 possessions through three games. By comparison, the 2007-08 Hawks allowed 108.9 points per 100 possessions. The 2007-08 Hawks after acquiring Mike Bibby allowed 112.8 points per 100 possessions. The 2007-08 Boston Celtics lead the league by allowing 98.9 points per 100 possessions.
4. The Hawks haven't started 3-0 since 1997-1998 season, where they went 50-32
5. We are 2/2 on our predictions for this week, BRING ON THE RAPTORS!
