Hey yal, im new to this Hawks fan website but I been a Hawks fan for some time now. I live in NJ actually. But anyway, I believe that the Hawks will make the playoffs in the 8th seed. simply because they have more winnable games than any other team in the race. Now if they do make the playoffs I would rather them play the Celts than the Pistons. Look at the matchups:
Bibby > Rondo
Joe Johnson = Ray Allen
Josh Smith
Marvin Williams
Hortford > Perkins
we will get outcoached but our bench is also pretty decent with Childress, Stoudamire, Pachulia, and if Acie Law comes back strong
i like the matchups. sure we wont win the series of 7 games but even if we steal one game, it would be big for this young but talented team. But first Hawks need to go into the playoffs with some momentum and that all starts with a good end to the year...8 and 20 over the last 28 games just isnt gonna do. Lets Go Hawks!
