All right.

Welcome to Hips tonight here at The Volume. Happy Thursday, everybody. Hope all of you guys are having an incredible week.

Have a jam-packed show for you guys today. The Atlanta Hawks won for the 17th time in the last 19 games and got a couple of big ones as they beat the Celtics and then dominated the magic in Orlando.

We're going to do a little bit of a deep dive into the Atlanta Hawks and what's been driving their success as of late. Then at the tail end of the show, I really wanted to take time to dig into what the superstar slash star tiers look like as we head into the postseason run. So again, strictly looking at players that will be a factor in this year's playoff run and where they kind of stand in the league as we head into that run.

You guys know the joke before we get started.

And so it feels very strange. But I'm getting used to it. It's just, just take it one day at a time. Okay, guys, you're just as shocked as I am. But let's talk some basketball. Let's get into this Atlanta Hawks run. Again, they've won for the 17th time in the last 19 games. I had been a little skeptical during the run because they had played

an exceptionally light schedule for the most part. But their last two wins have been super

impressive. A big win at home over the Boston Celtics where they went up by 21 points in the
