    The Nets suck. How this series is 2-2 is baffling.

    Game 3 was more of the Hawks screwing up. Game 4 was both teams playing great. DWill was just amazing.

    This serious is much better ball than the Raps Wiz series.

    The Hawks definitely aren't a media creation. Their 82-game W/L record speaks for itself and they played beautiful basketball in Jan/Feb against very good teams in both conferences on the road and at home.

    But they hit the skids late in the season and haven't recaptured the magic. Right now, not sure I would make them the favorite against the sorry Wizards (assuming they close out the Nets).

    How can the media create the 1 seed and 8 seed records? WTF? Anyhow, their late season skid was a media creation because they were injured and rested their starters a lot. Game 4 was just a great basketball game. The Nets played really well. At their peaks, both teams can be competitive with each other. It's just that Atlanta was much more consistent during the year. Also, in game 4, you have to take into account a fortunate bounce for a 3pt play for Lopez late in the game, and Williams awesome 3pter late in the game. Both plays were low percentage and great D by the Hawks. That was a 50/50 game that just went Brooklyn's way. I just don't see the Nets playing that great for the next 2 or 3 games, but the Hawks can.

    Teague was drafted with the 19th pick. Just a great pg. Could we get that lucky with our 18th or so pick?

    For someone who was once a "throw away" player and waived twice(including Houston), DeMarre Carroll is a solid player.

    That's what playing time can do for a guy. Carroll didn't show this kind of range earlier in his career

    1-8 series should not be this competitive, but this is some pretty fun basketball to watch
