Yes. They eliminate Korver which is the key. Said it last week Cavs playing well the stains played the Cavs tough in round 1.

Oof. That's a rough looking halftime score.

Still, go Hawks!

Seems like Barkley was right about the Hawks...nice players, but no superstar to carry the team at times.

Will we see a team hit 30 3s before the playoffs are over?

I think this is a major key. I dont know how many shots he had tonight, but he had only one in Game 1? He has to get more shots, and Atlanta has to figure out a way to get him free. I know he is not an off the dribble shooter, but they have got to get creative and getting him looks.

Playing on big 3 teams against the weak East.

When the Cavs get bounced again this year he gonna pull another Super team stunt Lol

Dubs still got this !!!

Pretty much. He should be 1-5 in the finals instead of 2-4.

It'll be interesting to see how the landscape changes when the salary cap goes up this summer.

Haters gonna hate. Who's your team? Probably not even in the playoffs, I'm pretty sure you're a Bulls fan. Lebron owns them.

Lol, the East was clearly better than the West this year. You know the West with juggernauts like Houston, Dallas, and Memphis. Detroit is easily better than all three of those teams and the Cavs handled them, and are now handling the Hawks who are better than the 5-8 seeds from the West. But we know Lakers fans like to hop on other teams bandwagons when their squad blows. Enjoy the draft lottery.

The East might have the best group of 8 teams but the West had four of the league's top five teams overall.

I don't think Atlanta was overrated this year. No one thought they were some jauggernaut this year. I dont even recall anyone bragging about all the damage the Hawks were going to do in this year's playoffs. This year, they were just...the Hawks, no superstars, and a team that usually plays hard and to their strengths...
