Pretty sure that was the most lopsided series in NBA history.   I share your pain.

I think it was the most lopsided for a #2 vs #3 matchup. Not sure if it was the most lopsided of all time, though I think it may have been. But yea, It basically cost Woody his job despite having by far his most succesful regular season.

Collins gotta step up this series.  Need at least a dub from him a game.

I'm not aware of any series that was this lopsided, although I can't claim to have absolutely confirmed it.  The fact that this was a #2 vs #3 makes it extra embarrassing.  The gap shouldn't be that big.  We won 53 games that regular season.  Couldn't adjust in the post-season as usual per Woodson.

The 1 vs 8 matchups that year were Cavs over Bulls by +46 and Lakers over Thunder by +14.  Our series was Magic over Hawks by +101.

For most lopsided series in my mind, you start with series that were sweeps and then look at the total or average margin of victory.

The most lopsided series Jordan's Bulls ever had was an average 16.7 margin of victory against the Magic in 1996.  Orlando's average margin of victory against us was over 25.  Some quick internet research shows a few series at 22 per game but nothing else this high.

It was an embarrassment.

Collins doesn't really need to prove anything offensively. He needs to prove that he won't get bullied by Randle.

That's about 65% capacity. Hopefully the spotlight isn't too big for our guys.

What's a bummer is we will only be allowing 7,625. Why are we letting NY upstage us? And New York has tougher Covid restrictions than we do, at least until recently, and now they are having more fans. Hawks management really misread the room here. Allow as many fans as lawfully allowed, which I believe is a full house currently.

The Hawks management said they will look into the new CDC guidelines regarding our capacity.  New York updated theirs after the announcement from the CDC last week.  The Hawks may do the same before next week's game. 

Eitherway, it'll be more fans than the regular season.

Nah...all he has to do is look at the boxscore for Randle's 3 games vs the Hawks.  It's no secret. 

It's how we will attempt to stop him - that's the secret.

I have to say this, Bogi was not a fan of LP. He never sugar coats his love of McMillian and his disdain for the way LP was using him.

I love Nate man. Just keep it 100. None of this coach speak, cryptic "we got to take care of ourselves and not worry about the outside." No, just address the elephant head on. He knows what's up. He knows what everyone wants to see happen. He is keeping it real with his guys and mentally preparing them for the media shit storm they are about to walk in to. I'm sure they appreciate him speaking up about it too. Obviously the noise doesn't control what happens on court, but pretending that you don't hear it and it doesn't add fuel is very disingenuous in 2021 when these guys see and hear everything. 

I think our guys are super competitive, and this will help them in the end

Like I mentioned before, the organization was questioning the Bogi decision before LP got fired. Their chemistry was pretty bad.

At all.

I also found it odd that his first game back came right after LP got fired.

I actually see this as beneficial to Trae. He loves to play to the crowds.

I got into a bit of a joust with a guy on rgm that said ATL shopped Bogd at the deadline.  Are you tellin' me I called that guy a jackarse for nothing?

Ya I predicted that we would have a lot of international Trae fans soon Hawks in general.

Ya let me guess, Warriors fan? They wanted Bogi along with probably 28 other teams.
