    Hawks will win this. The Heat is such an ill-balanced team. They have nothing except Wade.

    Yup. All you have to do is contain wade and you win.

    Problem is, not that much teams can do that. Hawks are doing it right now.

    Im talking about what he did in the playoffs against the best defense in the league last year. To hell with averages.

    ppl need to understand that one-man shows never beat any team. it doesn't matter how great a player is.

    it was more of a team effort than anything. joe johnson wasn't out of this world bro. he shot 40% with a PER of 15. he had ONE great game, but the rest were pretty mediocre. al horford manned the defense along with josh smith and that's why the series was so competitive.

    Atlanta annihilating the Heat right now. They almost matched us, winning by 26 and holding Miami to 64...

    Good grief! What happened to Miami today? :eek:

    The playoffs are considerably different than the regular season, as the scoreboard shows.

    Too bad Dwayne doesn't have the greatest teammates surrounding him. But...it's the eastern conference, so a comeback is possible for either team.

    i was having difficulty calling a winner in this series, but this game reminded me why the hawks are taking the series. the hawks are two completely different teams at home and on the road. does anyone remember that 7-game homestand this season where they defeated among others the hornets, jazz, blazers, and mavs (plus later they took down the lakers). on the road it's a different story, they are so erratic i don't know what to predict. so i think they'll lose all 3 on the road, but that won't faze them a bit, something about that arena gives them a ridiculous boost.

    How could Miami Heat end up in 5th in playoff? Is the East that bad, except for those 3 teams? There is no way Heat could make the playoffs in the West. Think of it, Suns didn't make it.

    This game reminds me why Josh Smith is my favorite player outside of the rockets and the Hawks are my #2 team behind the rockets / dark horse of the eastern conference
