Joe Johnson says that the Hawks are focused on trying to win the Southwest Division this season.

"Definitely. I think it's right there," Johnson told the Associated Press, admitting that the team is no longer too young to join Boston, Cleveland and Orlando as the favorites in the East.

"I think we've grown a lot over the years," he said. "I think we've grown a great amount. I look forward to us being a different team. A lot of immature things we did on the court the last few years, even last year, I think we're ready to put that behind us and move forward and start being that team that can win our division."
