You need to be lucky to draft a franchise player. Spurs were just fortunate to draft tim duncan as 1st draft.

Yup same thought as me.

Im reallly hoping Hawks will look for a big man, so they don't always get outrebounded by other teams. They should try to sign Marc Gasol. Aldrige i think he might go to the spurs or stay with portland. If they can't sign Gasol, just look for an average skilled big man with size and athleticism.

That great news! Hope he doesn't rush, he should take his time to recover his knee.

You said cavs in 6 lol. It's not perimeter defense, i think it more like mismatches, Lebron posting up on Jeff teague, and dennis, easy points for him. They need to switch quickly on defense, when lebron tries to switch his defender on smaller guys. Also, Caroll need to contest James jump shots better, he need to use his hands more instead of pushing him back. But that won't matter now because caroll just injured his knee ;( Hope him for the best.

well you gotta blame somebody right?

News is real... Hope Caroll can recover quickly and help his team in the ECF.

So you guys giving up on coach Bud or just critizing? Seeing him with a new team that reached 1st seed, 60 wins, break their franchise record, and reaching ECFs which Hawks have never done before, i don't see him as a mediocre coach.

Thank god, it was not a torn ACL. Hope Caroll can recover quickly. About defeding Lebron, I think Caroll just need to use his hands and contest when Lebron pulling up his jumpers. Yea Schröder was forcing too many contested floaters and shots. But it's a learning lesson for him, he's still young. He will make mistakes. Mismatches... Lebron always switch defenders and post up smaller guards on Jeff and Dennis, and he's taking advantage of it. I would like to see what kind of adjustments will Hawks make in game 2.

"Respect is earned in the playoffs." I agree, Hawks will have to show what they got. Im a casual fan but mostly i root for Spurs and Hawks. I just think that Hawks don't get the respect they deserved. Also, everytime Lebron reaches ECFs.. his team always advance to the finals, that's just bothers me.

I thought Hotlanta made a new account lol.

Same here, I think a lot of people are confident that Rockets can't beat the Warriors in the West Finals. Also, same thing in the East.. Mostly everyone choose the Cavs over the Hawks to win East Finals.

Cavs getting more votes than the Hawks.

Just went to NBA,com today, and saw this poll: When the dust settles, The 2015 Finals will be ... ? Cavs-Warriors 18k votes Hawks-Warriors 5k votes Cavs-Rockets 4k votes Hawks-Rockets 1k votes Hawks still dont get a lot of respect because they dont have superstars like Lebron, Kyrie, Stephen curry, Khlay thompson, and James harden. I think a lot of people are underestimating the hawks too much just because they don't have a superstar.

Did u register here to argue with hawks fans???

The whole team! they do it together not as individuals.

Lol i didn't expect that finisher!

Gratz!

Hawks play a lot with heart! they still find ways to win, even things aren't going in their favor.

I also like that Hawks bigs are really versatile, can shoots 3s, Space the floor, and open up lanes for Schröder and Teague.

Teague is one of the most underrated point guards in the NBA. He's also one of my favorite point guards in the league. Coach Bud chose Teague to be the Head of the snake of this team because of his ability to penetrate, great court vision, read defense really well, and create plays for his teammates. Also, he's a really good defender. He such a laid back guy, and i really like his personality. This is why i had a strong man crush on him.

Hawks in 7

Lets worry about this in the offseason, right now lets celebrate knowing that Hawks are advancing to ECF!

All Hail Hawks players!! They are special!!!! They play for each other!

My heart still pumping fast right now. Adrelanine rush!!!!
