Hawks Flying High

So far, the Atlanta Hawks have been the NBA's surprise of the year. Led by scorer Joe Johnson (21.5 ppg) and highlight reel Josh Smith (2.4 blks per game and many flashy slams), the Hawks are one of the Eastern Conferences elite teams. The question is whether they can stay strong down the stretch, and match up with the much bigger Celtics and Magic in the playoffs. Another question is whether streak shooter Jamal Crawford can stay hot throughout the year.
