the hawks remind me of the bulls a few years ago. great regular season record, but just don't have the star power to go deep in the playoffs

Its an NBA record for winning consecutive game 1s on the road.

This is exactly what a small group of us said all season long abt the Hawks. The are just like that Bulls team except without a MVP..and despite the MVP the Bulls still lost in 5 (albeit close games). Hence why I am glad the Bulls are not just a regular season team now

Its weird because I feel that Atlanta took the same shots they did in the first half but none of them dropped.

Also the ATL game 1 history is dreadful for their franchise

Now, time for Memphis to crack GS head open.

Put money on the Wizards at +5 so they did more than enough. Now have money on the Grizzlies at +10, hopefully they don't disappoint either.

Wiz have star power. That will always hurt you in playoff.

This was why people always have had doubts about them. Who are they going to go to in these situations? They don't have a superstar to give it to and just take over if needed. As much as people talk about how Rose has been horrible, and how he isn't a superstar anymore.....he still has that potential though.

It's only one game though.....we'll see how the hawks respond

I remember that unfortunately we kept getting hate replies by others whenever we brought this up. Granted...Atlanta can very well win this and I hope they do win this series

Last I heard he was likely to be back for game 3.
