That, and Joe Johnson is playing great lately. He certainly deserves more respect than what he's gotten so far.
He'll be an all-star by next season.

just goes to show that any team can beat the other.
well, in the regular season atleast
Don't get too excited; the Hawks are garbage. Young, potential garbage. Joe Johnson is the only solid player, but even he's not one of the league's 15 best players or anything. The wins against the Spurs, Cavs, and Pistons are 3 of only 15 wins they have this season. They're better than the Knicks and the Bobcats at this point... and that's not saying much!
They have virtually the same pieces as Golden State (they aquired a star guard, drafted a former slam dunk champion, and start a pretty decent forward that nobody really knows about), but they're not using them nearly as well as we are (and our coach is one of the worst in the league!).

They could make the playoffs next year if they be smart about it though in the draft. But most likely they're going to be retards again and draft Rudy Gay or something and that'll be there 6th Foward.
But here's the smart move to do: Trade Down with Toronto, Magics, or Portland and pick up a solid point guard (Rajon Rondo) and they'll be set.

A very good point guard is something that's tough to get your hands on. They'd need to give up something solid for it (either Johnson or Harrington). I dunno how attractive an average (at best) forward who demands starting time is to other teams (and I doubt the Hawks want to deal Joe Johnson), so they look pretty stuck with the team they got right now.
They won't trade JJ and won't get a good pg for Al Harrington, as Harrington will be a free agent.
They had the chance to get one in the draft and blew it. They'll have the chance to do it again this year, but the prospects are worse than Deron and Chris Paul. Maybe Rajon Rondo or Daniel Gibson...

I told you not to believe the hype, man. All the buzz out of Utah was that "they had finally found a suitable replacement for John Stockton"... Nobody will ever replace Stock. I knew it was hype when I heard it. Deron Williams will be decent PG, but never more than 15 & 6 a game (if he ever develops fully).

Top 3?, not so fast, they're not even close to Phoenix, San Antonio or Dallas, but they'd certainly be a lock for the playoffs and would fight for their division title.
