Same thing as last year. I honestly think Celtics would give them a far better fight and we all saw how Detroit did.

Is it because they try too much to be a finesse team and are simply outskilled, outgunned, outrebounded by the stacked Cavs?

They're trying to go small ball against one of the best small ball teams in the league.

Hawks are basically a very well coached team of role players. Horford and Millsap are not first options and look better than they are in the weak east.

Basketball is all about matchups.

The Hawks were the worst possible matchup for the Celtics.

The Cavs are a very bad matchup for the Hawks.

Horford don't look taller than Lebron, he is probably 6'8'' and Millsap looks to be 6'6''.

Bad matchup.

Any team playing small ball in the east is not going to beat this CAVS team. Paul Milsap at the 4 makes it Lebron easy to play at 4 and he's just dominating him.

The real issue is Horford can't get anything going. Tristan matches up with him and he can't post up.

Has Horford ever made a bucket with his back to the basket.

Millsap has always been undersized, and Horford has always been a 4 masquerading as a 5. This isn't news.

Hawks need a real center.
