Detroit, home of the second best pizza in the country.

It’s pretty bomb I went to this Detroit pie place in Manhattan. That was really good, taking a lil Motown to the big apple .

1. NY (thin)

2. Detroit (crunchy square)

3. Chicago (thick dough)

Can a  team win a championship, winning  ~50% of it's games in the playoffs?

I'm talking:

1st round 4-3

2nd round 4-3

CF round  4-3

Finals  4-3

if we did it would we still be "mid as hell"?

 

I mean....by definition that's not winning 50% of their games.  So the answer is no.  Practically, I see what you are getting at, and I'd love for it to happen obviously.  But the idea that the Hawks put together 4 straight 4-3 series wins against the best teams in the NBA seems, uh, kinda absurd.  We'd be talking about Philly, Bos, Mil, West Champ. 

I'm still going with they mid as hell.  But to answer the last question, if they were to somehow win 4 straight 4-3 series, they wouldn't be mid, they'd be champs.  And at that point I wouldn't care what anyone else calls them. 

Also, I'd probably be banned from every public site on the interwebs for spamming the hell out of Hawks being champs.

You get a like….but barely.  Chicago does not make pizza, they make bread casserole.

Chicago has deep dish pizza. Detroit is the one with the thick crust. Chicago style pizza is a literal pizza pie where you have layers of toppings. It is amazing easily the best pizza in the world.

If you want thin and floppy in your hands, sure, go with that.

 Ummm.. this conversation is straying in a.. let’s say weird direction. It was like the other day when my dad pointed out I had a long tongue in front of my special lady so im showing it off a bit then realize.. uhhhhhhhhh KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.  My special lady noticed it was headed towards “shaky waters” as well.

 

ps.. For the record Soth, I’d rather not have anything thin and floppy in my hands.. 

 

pps Goes without saying I don’t want anything thick and sturdy either.. 

 

We still talkin bout food right?

Ok.. here's where we push..

 

What if they won 2 4-3 series and Lost in the ECF 4-2... 

Are they mid at that point?  I mean that's 10-10 in the playoffs.

It's good but it ain't pizza.

If you are winning series in the playoffs you aren't mid. But that wouldn't change the reality that they've been extraordinarily mid during the regular season.
