Hey Jeff.... Still waiting?  Surprising, you can give a fist bump to Shakes but No Answer huh???  Just admit that you're wrong!!

 

 

dude, you are legit the biggest homer I've ever run in to.  You make @Sothron look reasonable.

 

We got our ass kicked in games 1 and 2 with everyone there except Capela and 100% Collins.   We miraculously squeaked one out in game 3 in a game where Miami's all star PG got injured halfway through.  See, injuries happen to BOTH teams.  I know that is shocking for a super homer to hear, but it's true.  Then we get beat by 1000 again in game 4 while Miami is starting Gabe friggen Vincent at point guard and we have everyone back in the lineup albeit Capela and Collins not at 100%.   Then we lose in game 4 when Miami realizes we suck so much they don't even have to play 2 of their 3 all stars.  They disrespect us so much they use a playoff game as a REST DAY for Jimmy Butler.

 

Let that sink in to your thick homer skull. Miami thought so little of us they rested their best player in a close out game at home.

 

Now go start 12 new threads so your embarrassing lack of awareness comments in this thread can sink to the oblivion known as page 2.

So we were missing 2 of our 5 starters. That right there should be enough to tell you we were going in hobbled.

and we got our ass kicked accordingly.     how does us getting our ass kicked without Capela and a hobbled Collins mean we would've beaten the #1 seed if we had those players full strength?

 

Spud, don't join the other delusional homers in the delusional homer club.  Don't do it.   What does your 2K tell you?

Your asking how having 2 of our starters would have helped us better battle Miami? Well… it’s 2 starters with a ton of production missing. I don’t know how else to say this.

Shakes...

You act as though I'm supposed to be insulted being called a Homer?  On a Hawks Fans Message Board?  It's not an insult... It's a compliment.   In fact, it's insulting if you are on a Hawks Fans Message Board and You are not a Homer??  Dude, I have been a Hawks Fan since the Age of 8... You damn right I'm a Homer...  See you...  You adopted the Hawks.... I was Born a Hawks Fan...  

 

 

So you're embarrased because we lost game 5?  That's been your whole trip?  That makes us WTOAT in Supes language...  

You keep missing the big picture Shakes... Maybe because you're eyes are glued on Trae.  But here's the big picture.  Trae needs the right Bigs to play his game. 

Jimmy Butler could rest.. Why.. because John Collins was so gimpy that he couldn't jump or catch.. and Clint couldn't Jump...  As long as they didn't have to worry about our bigs... they could have played Jimmy Butler's mama and they would have gotten the win.  The game was won on the fact that we had no Lob game.. no PNR game and if you are the Trae fan you say you are, you know that both of those are mechanisms that keep teams from Surrounding Trae or limiting Trae. 

Now let me help you.  We won game 3 because OO and Gallo showed up.  Our bigs finally started doing something inside and that allowed Trae to get a little more freedom.  Trae doesn't get to go off in those last 10 minutes if OO doesn't show up.  So for Jeff... that's not Variance And For you f*** game 5.   We played Game 5 with no Bogi, No Clint and No JC...   They played game 5 replacing Butler with somebody that shoots better than Butler.   So you can continue to cry tears about Game 5.. or you can look at the details and tip your hat.

Here is the interesting thing about this conversation as I'm reading it.  Here is the spectrum of comments just seen through shakes, Jeff, Diesel and myself.

 

shakes----------------------Jeff----------------------------AHF-------------------------------Diesel

Injuries meant nothing----Not certain but very----------Hawks were clearly impaired-----No guarantee Hawks win but

Hawks certain to lose------unlikely for healthy Hawks--#1 seed clear favorite--------------Hawks would at least go to 

even if healthy-------------to win vs #1 seed-------------but who knows what happens----Game 7 if healthy bc Miami not that

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------good

Not sure if that will be readable but definitely some people talking past each other.  I'm not sure Jeff and I are all that far apart quite frankly.

We've never loss to Miami when we were full strength.. Why should this be different?

I mean, I wasn't even part of this conversation and somehow I'm an unreasonable homer. I don't get it. It must be a cellphone issue.

I didn't say you're an unreasonable homer.  I said you're less of an unreasonable than Diesel so you got that going for you, which is nice.

Hey  Jefferson... and Shake...

Miami beat Philly by 16 tonight.   They are really showing that they are the class of the East right?  Philly stinks!

Luka getting abuse worse than Trae in this Suns series

Heat series was rough and showed us we needed to make changes but in all fairness, the injuries to JC and Capela ended us for sure. Not saying we would have won with those two healthy, we would have competed better

That's just it...  nobody can really say if we would have won.. but the game would have been a lot different.  I watched some of the stuff on last night.   Miami didn't struggle but they didn't easily put Philly away either.  If Embiid returns for game 3 in Philly...  That series will be different. I'm not saying that Philly would win, but in my heart, I feel that with Embiid healthy, they could have swept Miami. 

Miami has feasted off of injured teams.
