72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #1 Piano music
It should be at the top of every team's reason to be excited. Drop the color, cue the piano, begin feeling chills. It is the NBA playoffs. It is where every team wants to be. The Hawks are not playing for tonight or tomorrow or a great first road trip. They are playing for that moment in April and...

72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #2 Josh Smith dunking in Philips
Other cities have there thing that gets them fired up. LeBron's powder explosion or his run down block. KG's alley-oop dunk. Wade's block and slam. Almost every team has something. A never fail pump up. None of them are like a Josh Smith dunk in Philips. And people can make callus jokes. They can...
72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #3 The Hawks' ability to win every game they play
Over the last two years, the Hawks have beaten every team in the league but the San Antonio Spurs. Some of the losses mixed between those wins could be rationalized. A few were simply better teams. Injuries popped up. Back to backs happened. An opponents exceptional play sometimes could not be...
72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #4 Seven nationally televised games
A lot of people say "It is not where you have been. It is where you are going." Well, that is basically total crap. It is a slap in the face to history teachers everywhere. People that say that probably don't know about the Alamo either. And pretty clear instructions were given regarding that...
72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #5 Comment of the game thread
Again, this one is really high. Maybe too high. So part of this may just be me being excited. Part of it was delayed based on whether I could get a basketball signed. But part of it is actual excitement about this community. Excitement I hope you have too. I love the game threads. I dig the humor....
72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #7 Zaza doing something unathletic to pump up the crowd

It is a rare place for any non-superstar professional athlete to be, and the marriage allows for his weaknesses to sit exposed and accepted and his marginal skills...
72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #8 the three times Jamal Crawford goes buck nutty
I know players cause pain. I have experienced that pain. It is not fun. It makes you get in fights for no reason with people in your life and then you have to explain that you are just over compensating because you can't actually fight Josh Smith. I get it. I have heard the horror stories, and I...
72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #9 The CNN Center
Basketball is a winter sport, and it can make tailgating difficult. And while Southerners take the tailgating seriously, we also take our cold weather seriously. As in, we don't like it. Espcially for the jersey wearers among us. Luckily for Hawks fans, we have a glorious architecture wonder...
72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #10 Jeff Teague dunking on someone
The top ten. We have finally met you elusive minx. This one has been on the short list since the very beginning. It has actually dropped a bit though because I am more excited about Jeff Teague's overall game that the brief glimpse of him dunking every 22nd game will actually be a bit of a letdown....
