@ Bavetta's man boobs.

If the Heat jack up a lot of threes and make over 50% of them then they have a chance. Otherwise they are going fishing.

Oh, so you guys are the better team even with Al and Marvin out when we are playing in a desperation game? :lol:

You guys are too much. I've never seen such up and down fans in my life. After game 3 you guys were crying about how much it sucks to be a Hawks fan and your all down on them, and then they win a game and all the sudden your world champions that can't be beat?

Correct

World champs? Yet again you show your stupidity. Nobody on this board has claimed the Hawks are even remotely contenders for a title or unbeatable. We have just claimed to be better than the Heat which admittedly isn't saying much.

Lol, figures you would take the world champs comment literally (and your calling me stupid). You have some major homer glasses blinding you if you think the Atlanta Hawks are better then the Miami Heat without Al Horford and Marvin Williams.

Blazen, your clearly going to have the advantage. When the line comes out Miami will be favored by 5 points due to the home court advantage and the lack of depth for Atlanta. When the line came out for game 4, Miami was favored to win by 4, and it quickly hit 7 points before the tip. VERY few people that had money on that game gave Atlanta credit and look at the end results.

Please use better judgment when commenting about the Atlanta Hawk fans on this board. I've read nearly every damn post during this series and I don't see your point. Your game threads are nothing but insults, and cursing directed towards the Atlanta fans.

With an idiot troll like yourself there is no way for me to tell whether or not you actually believe some of the nonsense you write. If you actually had sense then i would know what not to take literally.

Marvin has hardly played the entire series and Horford hasn't done much when he has played. But the Hawks are up 3-2 and the only games the Heat have won is when they went nuts from 3. I think that is self-explanatory.

The Hawks consistenty crush the Heat on the break. They get to the foul line more, get more rebounds and score in the paint more. The only area the Heat have a chance to outplay the Hawks is behind the 3 pt line.

That's what I was going to say. Marvin hasn't even been on the floor and Al has been terrible yet we still lead 3-2.

The guys we can't afford to lose are Smoove/JJ/Bibby.

Line is out:

Miami by 5 points. O/U 182

Edit: I have enough post, so I wanted to add this here.

Al Horford is officially listed as a game-time decision for Friday's Game 6 with an ankle injury.
Horford’s injured right ankle was "better than expected" at Thursday’s practice, according to Hawks coach Mike Woodson. "We’ll just see how he feels," coach Mike Woodson said. "But it would be ambitious to game plan with Al out there with the starters." Solomon Jones is expected to start in his place. Link

Dwyane Wade sounds off

Dwyane Wade pretty much called Atlanta reserve guard Mario West “irrelevant” on Thursday. But that wasn’t all Wade said. His nearly 10-minute interview session ended with him telling reporters, “I gave you all some good quotes.”

The topic of West’s celebration came up because Wade had just mentioned his back began to loosen up in the second quarter. He was asked if West had anything to do with that.

“His celebration for his one stop?” Wade asked mockingly. “What is this game coming to?”

Wade said West’s celebration and Josh Smith’s attempted between-the-legs dunk in the fourth quarter, when Atlanta led by 20 or so points, point to a basic lack of respect on the Atlanta sideline.

But Wade said this series could be climbing to the intensity of Heat-Pistons (plain hatred), Heat-Bulls (inspired by James Posey flagrant fouls), or Heat-Mavericks (2006 NBA Finals).

“This series is getting there,” he said. “Yesterday was one of those games. You feel like one of those playoff series. It’s just about do we have a team that’s gonna come back and fight as much as they’re going to fight?

“Zaza Pachulia is knocking people out. It’s as simple as that. I’m not telling my teammates to knock him out, but when he comes down the paint at least make sure he feels us on offensive rebounds and this and that. We’re not a team that plays dirty. We’re a team that wants to be smarter and also protect ourselves.”

Wade was then asked about the simmering battles in this series: Wade vs. Mario West; Jamaal Magloire vs. Josh Smith; Jermaine O’Neal vs. Zaza Pachulia.

“First of all, Mario, I have nothing simmering with him,” Wade said dismissively. “He has not been a factor in this series. It’s irrelevant to me. I have nothing brewing with him at all.”

“Don’t make any plans for Sunday,” Heat center Jermaine O’Neal told me. “I promise you, we’ll be back here Sunday.”

“We’ll be back,” a smiling Jones said after the Hawks smashed the Heat 106-91 in Game 5 Wednesday night at Philips Arena. “We’re going to go back home to handle our business [in Game 6 Friday night] and we’ll see you back here this weekend.”

I never understood why people guaranteed playoff in public after a loss. Are we supposed to believe that they weren't positive that they were going to win going into games 4 or 5 now?

OOHHHH, poor baby Wade. Did Zaza hurt ur feelings? I dont understand why players come out and say garbage like that along with what Jones and Oneal said. Pure stupidity. Al needs to get some minutes tomorrow or we have no chance, bc Solo is pretty horrible.

Honestly i think he was talking about the fans and Josh in regards to Atlanta being " Unprofessional". Everyone outside of Atlanta was calling out your city for booing someone that was hurt and Josh Smith was on the front page of Yahoo.....So his quotes were on point. I think Zaza is killing us and Wade knows that, he was seeing a message to his team about Zaza, not a message to Zaza. I can see a fight or a small pushing match tommorw. Zaza versus Jamal Magloire...Book it!

So its unprofessional to do a flashy dunk when you're winning (unless you are DWade picking on Lithuanians) but it is professional to try and incite violence? OK, got it, thanks Dwyane!

Hate Wade as much as you want, but he has a point. The whole Hawks team got carried away in game 5 with there antics and it honestly wasn't a great idea. The last thing you want to do is piss Wade off (I know this comment will take Heat but I don't really care, its the truth). The fact that some scrub that plays 4.8 MPG stopped Wade from scoring on one possession doesn't really warrant some ridiculous celebration like he had after that. This series has gotten chippy real quick...

Can't wait for game 7.

Oh I got a question... If the Heat pull off a win in game 7 then the Hawks are still a better team and the Heat just got lucky right? Or it will be because David Stern wants a D-Wade vs. LeBron matchup, I forgot. Hawks fans were making excuses before the series started and it will end with a bunch of excuses if we do indeed win. Call Heat fans biased and homers but at least were not classless and we don't make excuses.

Blaze-I will say what I said in the last game thread. If you really get that upset reading this board then maybe you should take a break until the series is over. You went from talking basketball earlier in the series to just melting down and becoming and all out troll after game 4 for some reason.

Game 5 just ended, lets wait before we postulate about something that might or might not happen in a week. Not classless according to what definition? And which Heat fans are you talking about?

Been hearing this throughout the entire series and I'm still waiting. It must suck having to rely on ONE player!

If you win the series it's deserving. The problem I have with your question is that I don't believe your reading this from many Hawk fans. Your probably reading post on the General NBA board that don't even have many post from actual Hawk fans.

We are a wounded team and you should win game 6. Of course I hope it doesn't happen and mostly because I'm just getting annoyed by the entire series.

Can't wait for game 7? You do realize that we are playing game 6 tomorrow? I guess you have just booked it as an automatic win for the Heat.
