He picked the Wizards to sweep us in the last round, and now he

pretty much says we're done.

It's time to prove that we don't need a "superstar" to win...

Let's finally shut that clown up for good

Here is the link to Stephen A Full of Sh*T

He did start with some compliments, but then started to trash the team. He thinks Iman Shumpert is apparently going to shut down our whole team and it would take a miracle for the Cavs to lose.

The media does not want hawks in the finals, the nba will feel the same way. Warriors vs hawks would be boring compared to warriors vs cavs. It's all about that money. Star teams = $$$$.

The first Hawks/Warriors meeting was a pretty exciting game. In fact, so much so that ESPN thoroughly regretted not slotting that one for national television and Fox Sports reaped all the benefits.

Well, Mozgov is only effective in the paint, so he can stay there all he wants and Horford will keep draining open mid-range shots and even Pero can consistently knock down an open three when given a chance to set his feet. Shumpert, well, he's no Bradley Beal so I don't know about him apparently being this "shutdown defender."

Korver gassed the heII out of Shumpert in our last match and Delladova's last game was a complete fluke.

He's just a hypebeast. Hates any team with nobody he can dickride. It's the same way with him and San Antonio.

SAS LOVES Kawhi Leonard. I mean loves him. Calls him a future superstar

Shumpert is a really good defender

I've got no problem with people picking the Cavs, Lebron is tough to beat in a 7 game series, I'd probably pick them myself if I wasn't a Hawks fan.

However some of these Cavs in 4 or 5 predictions are beyond ridiculous and if the Hawks win it's not even going to be close to a miracle. While the Cavs have been playing slightly better imo neither team has played up anywhere close to their potential so far this postseason and the fact that Hawks get homefield is honestly what I think is going to be a great equalizer. I've got this series as a coinflip as I've had it all long.

This is very true. Far more than other sport, the NBA loves it's stars. They have no interest in a finals without 23 in them. If we want the title, we will have to overcome a lot. I think we can. I think we will!

That was when the Hawks were winning, after that, hawks were not the same after injuries. With the way hawks are limping to the finals and barley getting by, the media and probably the nba does not want to see this hawks team in the finals.

If we do beat them (and that is of course a big IF), it probably will take all of seven games and home-court advantage. That might be as far as we go though, as much as I want to believe that we can win it all. The Warriors (assuming they win the WCF) will have home court advantage in the Finals, and we'd have to beat them in 6 I think to win the series (which means steal one early in GS). That's a tall order for any team considering they have only lost three times there all season.

I consider myself an optimist and believe we can beat the Cavs, but GS will be very very tough.

They are a better version of us. Better defensively, and offensively with good ball movement.
