I just got goosebumps , especially the first video against the Mavs. That team that consisted of David Wesley, Mike James, and Jon Barry was something. What a team.

 

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that the atmosphere at the Toyota Center was a lot different last night? The Hawks aren't that great of a team but the game was a sell out and it was A LOT louder than usual. I don't know if it was the combination of it being a sell out game and that it was a Saturday night game, but I was really surprised to see the place packed especially against a team like the Hawks. Even the lower bowl and all of the courtside seats were close to capacity....not in the middle of the game but AT tip-off.
