Its Official: Hawks vs Heat 1st Round

[HMFFL]

Not only do we have the more talented team, but we also have better chemistry, and more natural leaders. Al not only leads by exactly, but his leadership is what this team has needed for years now, and he turns it up during the playoffs.

Who has the better supporting cast is debatable.

this just had to be quoted. once again.

That is silly. Wade is obviously the best player in this series, but you could make the case that Joe, Josh, Horford, Marvin, Bibby, and even Flip are better or as good as any other player on the Heat. The only reason this series has potential to be close is the fact that the Hawks struggle with giving a consistent effort and have an offensive (Please Use More Appropriate Word) as their coach.

Haha, he's right, it would just be a short and one sided debate.

Lol, I don't think Magloire has gotten dunked on once this year. I feel that Magloire will have a bigger impact then Zaza will but who knows.

Just had to bring this quote back.

Magloire's playoff stats: four games played, 0.4 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 33% FG, 1.6 fouls.

In Magloire's defense, he and Joel Anthony both had better series than I expected at the start of the series. I'm not saying that to be snide (although if you want to read it that way so be it), but going in to the series I didn't envision either playing anything other than garbage time minutes. Magloire played 10+ minutes in each Heat win, which did surprise.

I expected Zaza to contribute. However, Zaza was bigger than I expected, but I should have known. He doesn't finish well at the basket, but he always plays with great effort and really feeds off playoff intensity to rise to his best. His 6-6 from the line was a big plus today.
