The Martyr Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Okay so I was checking out the series hub for the #HAWKSVSNETS series on nba.com and I noticed a poll that basically asked what do you think will be the outcome of the series. And an insane amount of people picked the NETS to win in 6 or 7. And when I say that, over 77K of the total of a little over 83K voters chose Brooklyn to win it. Are the Hawks really that bad in the eyes of the fans? What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Martyr Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just to put that into perspective, around 92% voted for the Nets to win in 6 or 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Falcon Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 That is ridiculous. Best record in the East. I'm biased, but we are the best team in the East, and we are going to prove it when we beat Lebron in the ECF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think?People don't know the Hawks because those same people only watch ESPN if you literally sit and watch ESPN all day you wouldn't know HOW Good teams like the Hawks, Portland,...................Anyone outside of Cleveland, LAC, Golden State, and Chicago are. Seriously Memphis gets ****ed on, San Antonio(People just always write them off), Portland, and Hawks. We are the small market teams it's complete BS, but that's why I'm starting to pay less and less attention to ESPN or other websites where the average IQ level of fans is like 4 at best. Seriously even people here in Athens they think Hawks will get bounced 1st round WHY! They don't have an answer they just think Atlanta Hawks are sorry, but they don't know the record, the many records broken, or **** even the players on the team, or the head coach. Let me get off my soap box cause I know I support my da** hawks, and da**it they will make the ECF, and even if they don't we are set up for the long-term now. I say let's all just enjoy the fact there is no more ISO-anyone, no more Mike Woodson, Larry Drew, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith(I'm still a fan of him), Marvin Williams, and any other cancers on the team. Also let us enjoy that first time in 21 years we are champs of the division I was 4 years old last time that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Martyr Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I was very surprised when I voted for Hawks in 4 or 5 and saw how skewed the votes were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF89 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If it makes you feel any better, that poll is likely either a glitch in the system or somebodies idea of a troll, while the Hawks certainly haven't been getting the respect they deserve it isn't THAT bad.

Mr.11 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 No offense to you, but tell us something we don't already know. We're probably the most underrated #1 seed in NBA history and we'll be the underdog in every series (at least according to most of the fans). That's fine. It'll just make it that much sweeter when we knock off Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do kind of take issue with the whole "I've got to see them take out Lebron to believe it" when we've done that with just about every opportunity we've had so far but honestly thats more than I expected to get from them at all. Really though these pundits looking at one game to either change or confirm their predictions is kind of silly.I didn't even listen to Skip Bayless cause he's a shock jock, whether what he said was positive or negative it's just noise. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me to hear him say he expects the Hawks to take the Cavs in 5 games when we actually get to that point cause he's a contrarian and he likes rustling the majorities jimmies.

We blew them out with Lebron in Lineup at their house, and then they came to our house(without Lebron) and beat them here, and then they went and re-tooled and we beat them again handly I might add.

youngbloodz Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hawks haven't beaten Bron's team in the playoffs. Nets went 4-0 against Miami last year in the regular season. Playoffs got here and Miami beat them in 5. Raptors swept the Wizards in the regular season. They are down 1-0 in their series. What you did and who you beat in the regular season means absolutely nothing right now. That's what most of you don't seem to understand. Do it in the playoffs and you will get that respect you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact remains of the small sample size we have of THESE two teams getting together (Not Joe Johnson's Hawks or the Miami Heat) the Hawks got the better of. To ignore this in favor of "the Cavs are going to steamroll the Hawks" is being willfully blind at best. They want to say Lebron's gives them the edge, whatever that's fine but they refuse to even acknowledge their PROVEN matchup problems with our offense. As if the Cavs will enter a playoff mode but the Hawks couldn't possibly do things that improve their game. You best believe if the Cavs had won the regular season series the talking heads wouldn't have any qualms about pointing at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares but Hawks fans you beat Cleveland in the regular season. Do it when the lights are the brightest. They have the best player in the world. That's why almost everyone will pick them to come out the east. People doubt the Spurs every year. But they don't care and just win. Respect has never won a game. Take care of business in the first two rounds and Atlanta has the opportunity to shock everyone in the ECF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF89 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I want to see the Cavs prove they can stop OUR offense. It's funny how that gets absolutely no play. They couldn't do it in the regular season in their own d@mn house. Now their supposed to do it in OUR arena where our team is going to feed off the crowd's energy? Cavs may very well win that series but we aint laying down for them no matter what ESPN thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF89 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Cavs defense is atrocious. Don't see them stopping anyone to be honest.It's why I don't think it shouldn't be a given they even get past the Bulls. It's a series the Cavs SHOULD win to be sure, but the Bulls actually play defense and they've got plenty of postseason experience to boot. Now they'd need to get something from Rose, which is far from something you should rely on but the Cavs defense is just bad enough it may very well open the door to that possibility.
