Well now... Take that, LeBron. Today I heard Stephen A. Smith call the Cleveland Cavaliers a better team today than the Celtics are (who are 22-2 and on a 14-game winning streak). LeBron and Co. had piled up 11 straight wins, building a six game cushion in the Eastern Conference's Central Division. But then they made the trip down to the ATL. The Dirty South, where Mike Bibby and the boys would not be scared by the big bad King James. A back-and-forth affair, the Hawks were able to pull away midway through the fourth quarter- with Bibby leading the charge scoring 24 points. Marvin Williams stepped up too, with 19 points and 7 rebounds, including the final free throws that nailed the coffin shut. The Hawks defense limited a hapless Lebron to only 33 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds, clearly not one of his best performances...........

The Hawks are holding onto the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, improving to 14-9 after tonight's victory. Head down to the Highlight Factory and cheer on our boys, who're kicking ass up and down this league on their way to a second straight playoff run.
