The Atlanta Hawks. They have a ton of cohesion chemistry and talent + they have improved their bench this year. This team has a lot going for it. They are young+they are good.

I agree. And they've had that core for a couple of years now - Joe Johnson, Smith, Horford, Williams and later Bibby (who's fitting in well). I'm eager to see which role Crawford will have on this team. He'll prolly be a good 6th man, like a Jason Terry type of player maybe.

Sleeper? But they've been good the last two years and made the play offs both times? Sleeper?

Sleeper to what, win it all?

I watched some of the Golden State game last night. They are basically what we want our Knicks to be. A super talented team that runs a speed ball offense with great outside shooters.

They look very good. I can see many teams having trouble matching up with what they bring.

Trouble is that they only played Randolph 10 minutes last night and only gave Morrow 7 shots and lost by 1 to Houston and Trevor Ariza.

If GS can figure out who they're real players are instead of playing Turiaf, then they could be a sleeper team.

Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

I kinda like Teague so yes, the Hawks should be good but to call an expected playoff team a sleeper to make the playoffs, no.

If you said a sleeper to reach the conference finals, now we're getting somewhere.


But yes, I like the team OKC has. Maybe a bit early for playoffs as they're awfully young as a whole but still good from top to bottom.

Thats what i mean--they have a chance to be a sleeper team to hit a final four. When people talk about elite teams--I haven't heard the name Atlanta once.
