Miami didn't look that good against the Knicks, but it is only one game. We'll see. ps - Josh Smith is a beast!

Thanks for the love KC. Unlike many of the "experts," I too believe my Hawks will be back in the playoffs. They still have the ability to surprise some folks this season with all of the doubters, and I think they will do just that. They are deeper than they were last season (despite losing Josh Childress to another continent), and I expect a breakout year from Marvin Williams (go ahead and be ready to quote me on that one). They may even be "good enough" to be the kings of the Southeast, depending on how well Orlando plays (probably not, but it's a possibility). The team I don't see making the playoffs (with the Heat making it) is Washington. They are missing both Arenas and Haywood. I think they will struggle for the first couple of months, and inevitably miss out. Haha. Thanks for the love KC.
