Hawks are in grave danger of losing in tha 2015 1st round!

[Real14]

With pg24 back with tha pacers tha hawks better hope they don't face them in tha quaterfinals. Wade, Bosh and Dragic as the new big three will give tha lucky hawks problems too. Its not going to look good for tha hawks again:no:. What you think ISH?

Bad analysis.

The team that the Hawks really need to be concerned about is the Pistons, because Monroe/Drummond kill us on the boards. If Jackson can generate some offense, then that could be a very difficult team to play.

It's funny how the Pacers went from overrated to they can take out a 1st with a Paul George could off a broken leg.

And even the overrated Heat with no Bosh. Gusset being overrated depends on what team doesn't like at a certain juncture.

[atljonesbro]

Tha pacers and tha heat don't have a chance to beat tha 3rd round virgin atl hawks?
No, they don't lol. It'd likely be a sweep or 4-1 hawks. The pistons are much more of a threat.

How many points is Bosh going to score from his hospital bed?

Obligatory evidence of OP's idiocy:http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348621&page=3

^If you're too lazy to click this link, OP made a thread before the season where he bet me the Knicks would have a better record than the Raptors. I even gave him a choice of multiple teams that would have better records than the Knicks ( because even the dullest child could see the Knicks were not a playoff team coming into the season).

Op has lost the bet but he's still here taking L after L:roll:

Remember, a weaker version of this Hawks squad gave the Pacers fits last year when the Pacers were healthy.

Lost in all these shit replies is that the pacers really do have a decent chance with p.george coming back to maybe atleast 70% and the rest of them getting healthy.

This Hawks team is much improved from the one last year, who should've beaten the Pacers in 6 if it weren't for two straight Lou Williams screw ups. We got legit perimeter defenders in bazemore and Thabo when he gets back. Dennis is a legit PG now(I hope he doesn't want to leave, he's getting good fast), plus the hawks have learned Buds system hence the 49-13, best record vs the west and best road record.

but the hawks are literally one of the worst match ups for the pacers and last year proved it even as a 38 win team with no horford.

the pacers have no answer for our mobility and spacing offensively and their slow as molasses frontcourt was mostly ineffective against us.

The only teams i see them having a chance to upset are against old school slow tempo teams like the raptors, bulls, and wizards.

Sure it was a bad matchup but the pacers figured them out just in time to win last years playoffs and would probably adjust accordingly again this year to make it competitive espeacially with the pacers learning how to win without p.george.

Bud whipped Vogel like a stray dog last postseason, and with a significantly better team playing at a significantly higher level, it would be a sweep, 5 game series tops if the Pacers get especially hot from outside one game.

Hibbert is completely neutralized by our offense, and Teague absolutely owns George Hill's soul.

Sure all these things you said makes sense aside from teague owning hill in the playoffs when he shot such a low percentage and hill upping his scoring but still the playoffs are a different animal and the hawks absolutely have no experience with this group aside from losing to the pacers last year which will be a big factor when the real season begins.

This is kinda why the Hawks were such a bad matchup. Hibbert had to be out around the 3 point line guarding either Antic or Mike Scott. While Horford has an excellent jumper, Hibbert will still get to be closer to the rim. And also, Ian Mahimi has had a great year and he will see plenty of time. He's quicker and more mobile and has done a great job at handling mismatches. While its still a mismatch for Milsap or Horford, I'm fine with Ian matching up against them.

Hibbert is what he is. He'll still be valuable, when others drive he will be there. Of course he will be at a disadvantage when guarding pretty much anybody on the Hawks 1 vs. 1 but I expect us to give help. Our defense has still been great this year, so has the Hawks.

Our bench is better this year. Stuckey has been great off the bench, as has Scola and Watson lately. I already mentioned Ian and if Lavoy Allen comes back, thats 1 more. Even Rumez gets playing time now and he can knock down 3's. He's pretty much a knock down shooter, doesn't really do anything else but shoot though...

The Hawks starting 5 has definitely improved greatly this year but I feel their bench did not improve. When I look at the mpg's, it seems the Hawks starts all play a ton of minutes, correct me if I'm wrong. Schroeder is a beast though off the bench and Bazemore is good too..

I don't know, I do think the Pacers were caught off guard by the Hawks, but I don't think so this year. But I feel the Hawks would win honestly because they have a better team, period.

George Hill got used by Teague, then rebounded nicely the next round against Wall...I don't have the numbers right now but Wall shot very poorly in the 2nd round. I feel Hill will be ready for Teague, those 2 know each other from Naptown anyway, they've played against each other many times locally. Hill has a different role this year, he's been more free to score and be aggressive and the Pacers have a great record with him in the starting lineup this year.

Most honest opinion if they were to matchup? Probably Hawks in 6.

Horford can stretch out to the 3 point line now, if you though Antic shooting 15% from 3 abused Hibbert you'll be amazed at what Horford will do.


The Pacers are playing well, but if you think you'd take two games off us, then you just haven't been watching the Hawks play lately.


If Paul George comes back at 100%, which is virtually impossible, then maybe you take two games off us. But there's very little chance of that considering he hasn't played in 8 months.

Bud will draw up a devastating scheme for the Pacers limited offense, it won't (wouldn't) be a close series.

You must have missed it when I said they lacked postseason experience playing together as a group and not just a few players plus those players you mentioned constantly lost in the first or 2nd round so it isnt really much.

Saying that the perennial Eastern Conference finalist would be a tough out against the unproven top seed is hardly any disrespect especially again with the pacers getting back most of its players healthy.

No experience? The Hawks have made the playoffs most of the last decade. Teague, Horford, milsap, korver all have a lot of playoff experience.

Why do people seem to think the Hawks are some upstart young gimmick? It's a squad of seasoned vets with a few young guys who fit what they need. I'm looking forward to a possible hawks-cavs matchup in the east, purely as a fan of the game.

They made the ECF

No experience? The Hawks have made the playoffs most of the last decade. Teague, Horford, milsap, korver all have a lot of playoff experience.

Why do people seem to think the Hawks are some upstart young gimmick? It's a squad of seasoned vets with a few young guys who fit what they need. I'm looking forward to a possible hawks-cavs matchup in the east, purely as a fan of the game.

Individual playoff experience isnt enough when you havent played together that long as a group.

Yeah just like most of their runs and still lost. Too many times in the 90s and early 2000s I saw the team I support struggle against lower seeds so I learned to never be complacent on these matchups unlike what you guys are doing right now declaring this and that before the playoffs even begin

We'll win 60+ games this year as a group, we'll be fine. Everyone on this roster outside of Dennis Schroder has a great deal of playoff experience.

We're not being complacent, it's just that it's comparing a 60+ win juggernaut to a 38 win batch of losers. A team that should never be in the playoffs but for wildly unbalanced conferences.

And beyond that it's two teams that we saw play last year when the Pacers were much, much better and the Hawks were much, much worse. We already know the dynamics of the matchup.

So your logic is to discredit teams that play well and prop up clearly inferior teams by a MASSIVE MARGIN on a hunch they'll randomly just up their game out of absolutely no where to top team in the entire nba level and beat them? :roll:

Clearly inferior team? Have you watched the Pacers recently? Their about 11-2 in their last 13 games and would probably improve much more with the arrival of p.george.

Wow are we calling this version of the Hawks a Juggernaut now? I thought that term was only reserved for the dynasty Bulls, Lakers and Celtics of old.

"Regular season games don't matter" :roll: :roll: And 11-2 is absolutely nothing compared to 34-2 if you wanna play that game. Inferior by a WIDE margin.

We've beaten the Pacers by 10+ points 3 times this season.

We're better at every position on the court.

We have a much better coach.

We have a much better bench.

We have home court advantage.

I'll do a permaban bet with you, I'll bet you real life money, we will NOT lose more than one game to the Pacers in a series.

Bookmark it, screenshot it, take a carbon copy. And scurry off and pretend like we never had this conversation when we finish off the sweep.

No offense to the Pacers or to Dro btw, I like you guys, just feeling salty right now.

You can tell Hawk fans have no idea how to act.

This is a clear jynx post. Jesus christ.

Be glad your team is doing well. Don't post bullshit like this.

Whatever you say bud. Better enjoy those wins because youre in for a reality check once the playoffs begin and teams/coaches start to take a closer look on your gameplan and players.

Wasnt saying that the Pacers are flat out beating you but they will make it competitive to stretch it out to maybe 6-7 games depending on P.George's health.

Why does that logic only apply to successful teams in the regular season? Why do the Pacers enhance their play? You're logic is really awful and you're just delusional right now thinking your team is even close to the Hawks

Yeah sure Hawks beat the Pacers with most of our core out with injuries.
Sure a bet it is, I rarely post here anyways and the odds are decent.
Hope you dont take any of these personally. Really hope the teams face each other now :D

How about the fact that they are getting back their star player? Or the additions of Stuckey and Miles and the emergence of Solomon and the core finally getting healthy? Plus the enhanced bball iq of the team with the loss of lance?
