Gonna have to work on your reading comprehension, buddy. I never said the Hawks were going to win this series (I think we will get swept), nor did I ever say the Hawks were a good team (I said we are an average team). I challenge you to find a post where I said we will win the series.

All I said is that we are a legit eight seed. We have been playing .500 basketball with Bibby, and if we had been playing at this level all year we would have 40-45 wins. Usually 8 seeds have about that many victories. God I'm such a homer saying that my team is a legit eighth seed!

We are a legit EIGHTH SEED. That doesn't mean we are going to win a series, and it doesn't mean we are a good team. But compared to what you usually see out of an eighth seed, we are on that level. All I'm saying is that we play at the level of a .500 team! Is that really that outlandish of a statement?

Okay now you're just making dumb comments (weak attempt at humor by the way) so this is a waste of my time.

I don't need to elaborate, the Hawks' .451 overall season record, and .468 record post Bibby trade says it all.

The Warriors have a .524 record and the Hawks have a .451 record

1 of those teams deserves 2 be in the playoffs and the utha 1 doesn't, nuff said

The Warriors are one of the best teams ever to miss the playoffs. Please do not act like they are the norm for eighth seeds.

Teams that get the eighth seed are usually about as good as the Hawks.

Why are you in here bashing the Hawks? Just shutup and leave, your opinion means absolutely nothing to any Hawks or Celtics fans..

So? The Warriors are better than the Hawks. Are you attempting to make a relevant point here?

Once again, the Warriors are far better than almost anyy eight seed ever was, and if you don't realize that then you just don't know much about basketball. If you hold number 8 seeds to that standard then there is really nothing I can tell you.

There's a different between sh*t talking and just stating a stupid and flawed opinion. From what I can gether he is saying that the Hawks are not a legit #8 seed because the Warriors almost won 50 games? That is simply incorrect as the Warriors may be the best team to ever miss the playoffs.
