Ruckus Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 6th seed.Tied for 5th.2 games out of 4th.3 games out of 3rd.And 4 games out of 2nd.I think it's safe to say we will not be seeing a first round matchup with Miami. Bucks will be getting that pleasure. The remaining seeds are up for grabs though. Lets reach out and grab em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 We play Milwaukee 3 more times this year. We need to take care of business vs them, in order to stay out of that 8th spot. Other than Orlando and Cleveland, there are no real cupcakes left on the schedule. And the Hawks aren't good enough to take anybody for granted.

AUhawksfan Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Don't jinx us Ruckus! We could very well be in that 8th spot. I think we could make a good series with anybody but the Heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could make a good series with anybody but the Heat.That is not a jinx.............I'd love the 15th or 16th picks rather then 20 -24th pick in the draft. I'm done with 2nd round playoff exits. We have a better shot at drafting a future all star with the best pick possible.This is the seeding I'd want in order for Hawks:2nd3rd6th7th4th5thMine is:8th7th6th5thand so on Give Ferry the best draft pick possible.

Then I read this on Carmelo having a knee issue:http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/226734/Surgeon-Speculates-Carmelo-Anthony-Has-Torn-Meniscus-Or-Arthritic-Knee The shot at an ECF appearance is possible. Considering this franchise has never done it before it would be quite an achievement. Edited March 17, 2013 by coachx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member cam1218 Posted March 18, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 We are closer to #2 than we are to #8. After the Heat things are very tight in the East and can change daily. Because of this, I find myself score and standing watching when we win and avoiding the whole issue after we lose.

ersimo2889 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 We currently own the tiebreaker with Indiana (up 2-1 in season series), but NOT with the Knicks (0-1 in the season series). We play both again this season (including the Knicks twice) which should be huge games and the difference between whether we are a 2-3 seed or 6-7 seed. Playoff Seeding Tiebreakers: Two-Team Tiebreaker: [*]Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division) [*]Better record in head-to-head games [*]Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division) [*]Higher winning percentage in conference games [*]Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference (including tied teams) [*]Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in opposite conference (including tied teams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureGreatness Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I don't care what seed we get. STAY AWAY FROM MIAMI, BOSTON AND CHICAGO IN THE FIRST ROUND. Take your chances with Brooklyn, New York and Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckus Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm torn. Obviously it's easy to say that I prefer a higher draft pick but I think a deep playoff run might have a positive spin as well. Might be the difference in us resigning guys like Korver and attracting other free agents for less dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Mule Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Do we prefer a win tonight (Or any night) or a loss so that weget a higher draft pick? That victory tonight (Nets) or any night this season AND in theplayoffs is worth more than the standings in the draft pickingorder. That's my personal thinking. I'll take the wins and worryabout the draft later. Sure, we might miss a player or players we really wanted in thedraft because of our winning ways right now. But, winning nowjust might buy us higher standing in the eyes of any free agentout there hunting a team next season. If we can control things right now, IE, win games, I say "Go for it."If we're looking at the first or second pick, maybe we worry aboutthis. Whether we pick 13th or 17th shouldn't be something thatwill make or break us. GO HAWKS NOW!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
