What did Lang Whitaker say to me in the Weekly Podcast on Monday? That if you keep winning, the attention will come? Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but I would just like to point out that right now (9:21 am ET) the Hawks are the top story on ESPN.com. Tonight's game against the Celtics is all of a sudden the biggest game of the young NBA season. Now you know! 

A couple more follow up points to last night's win:

- When Hawks GM Rick Sund spoke to the staff before the season, one thing he talked about needed to do to win this year was score on the road. To illustrate that point, going into last night's game the Hawks had lost seven straight in Chicago and scored an average of 87.7 ppg in those games. But last night the Bulls couldn't keep the Hawks in check, and every time they mounted a comeback the Hawks would respond, particularly with the three-ball in the fourth quarter.

- What is it about the power forward spot for the Hawks that leads to blocked shots? At some point the team will show they miss Josh Smith's production on the court, but in the first two games of his absence Al Horford has set consecutive career-highs in blocked shots (5 and 6, respectively).

- Joe Johnson had another poor shooting night, going only 4-16 from the field. But the constant double teams he's receiving is making it incredibly easy for Mike Bibby right now. Boston was incredibly successful in the playoffs last year doubling Joe everywhere he went on the floor (at least in the games in Boston) - it will be interesting to see if they go the same route tonight and if we can make them pay for it.

The Hawks are now 6-0 for only the second time in franchise history, and set up for quite the showdown tonight in Boston (7:30 ET, SportSouth). I don't know about you, but I am enjoying the ride!
