mattlanta Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I think it's a combination of acquiring Bibby and the fact that JJ put this team on his back for the past two months. Either way, congrats to the entire Hawks roster and coaching staff. It's a team game - believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Al Horford, it's not even close, this team was a joke to me last year, hell I was suprise by Al impact as a rookie. He surprise me similar to the surprise I receive from Chris Paul from N.O his rookie. I thought he was good, but not this good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I have to agree with you about Horford. He was better then advertised and has been a major difference maker for the team. We finally have a presence in the post that both defensively and offensively.

Guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 The key to this poll is "most", because all of these things clearly got us into the playoffs. I have to say it was Bibby, he really energized our stagnant offense and was a definite upgrade over AJ and Lue. He made the rest of the team better, and we have a better winning % with him than without him by a fair amount I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachx Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 If we would have never drafted Al Horford then the Bibby trade may have never happened b/c we would have fallen out of the playoff race way before the allstar break when the Bibby trade happened. Horford was the addition to keep us in the race and then Bibby was the addidtion to put us over the top. JJ improved play and the schedule are also variables in this. I would rate it in order: 1. Drafting Horford 2. Aquiring Bibby 3. The weak closing schedule 4. JJ consistently playing like the JJ of old. (Once JJ has some help and something to play for we all should have knew his play would be more consistent.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 6 games under 500 without him... Not that much of an improvement... As good as our offense has been, our defense has been worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
