The Hawks are a great regular season team, but when teams have time to prepare for their type of offense, they aren't that great. And down the stretch of games, they really really suck. They don't have a legit all-star scorer to go to, the same problem they've always had. That's not to say they cannot win a game or two, but they have some glaring flaws that the playoffs have exposed.
If the Eastern Conference wasn't so shit, the Hawks probably wouldn't have made it this far. And if the Bulls didn't fuck up and get the 3 seed, they definitely wouldn't have made it this far. But they got lucky, good for them and their fans. But it's time for a reality check for the Hawks: Cleveland is in another tier above Atlanta.
Cavs in 6 at the most.
