Has there been a more overachieving team in NBA history than the Hawks?

Their three best players are borderline all-stars. Their three best players are Millsap, Horford and Teague and they're going to win 60+ games. Think about that. Buldenholzer should win two COY awards for his work this year. Go figure a Pop disciple would achieve this.

2004 Pistons? Much more talented.

2001 76ers? Had the MVP along with the DPOY.

1999 Knicks with Sprewell, Houston and Camby?

None of those teams won 60+ games (or the equivalent for a 50-game season). I can't think of anything that comes close.

Yes, and I've tried to make this point before.

A great regular season team no doubt. I'll be impressed if they make the ECF.

And they made the finals. Still have to see how Atlanta does in the playoffs

2009 Cavs won 66 games with Mo Williams as the team's second best player.

I think their talent level is severely underrated but they are probably overachieving by like 5-8 games

The 2011 Mavericks had no business winning a title. Kidd was 37. Caron butler was out. Chandler, Terry, and Marion are decent role players, but nothing special. JJ Barea was a key contributor. The Hawks roster minus Dirk for the Mavs is miles better.
