Congrats to Josh.
One would almost think the T-E-A-M is doing well with 2 players already earning Player of the Week honors. Evidently, the national media doesn’t understand that this team is destined for mediocrity and therefore unworthy of any accolades (from them or the local fan base).

Congrats to Josh. As much as people want to hate on both Josh and Al they both are really good players. They just out played who I though was the best front court tandem in the NBA in Gasol and Randolph. Maybe the Hawks have the best front court tandem in the NBA?
