Gray Mule Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Can this Hawk team play in Indiana the same way that they playin Phillips Arena when they meet the Pacers? History tells us "no we can't" but who knows. History doesn't proveanything, or does it? The Pacers haven't won in Atlanta since forever. Who knows the lasttime the Hawks won in Indianapolis? Bet it's been at least that long. Both teams just keep on winning all their home games when they meet.All season and all playoffs, home team wins. Whether Hawks advance to the second round depends on tonight's gameI believe. If we win tonight, that leaves us one game at home, wherewe are deadly against the Pacers. If the Pacers win tonight, they know that they have one more game athome and they will be full of confidence that they can beat us againbecause, you know, they always win at home against the Hawks. Tonight's game - - That's it. Win tonight and we take all the air outof their baloon. Lose tonight and Pacers win that seventh game on theirhome court. There shouldn't be that much difference between these two teams, whetherthey are home or visiting, but there is. Check out the scores. Not evenclose. Will the Hawks throw up bricks, especially from the free throw line anddo their famous sleepwalk for 48 minutes tonight? Or, will they come toIndianapolis and put the Pacers away? Tonight, we find out. GO HAWKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted May 1, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 They say that the a series doesn't start until the home team loses a game. So this one hasn't really started yet. I agree. Tonight is the key but this is a strange Hawks team. I think we're in their heads. I think we've exposed HIbbert as too stiff for today's nba. I think we've exposed their team as having a as many weaknesses as we do at least. They've covered them up well this season through good coaching and hard work but they are still there. The team ball is working right now. Let's see if we can keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted May 1, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Agreed. The home/away playoff dynamic has bit this team in the rear for years. Time to put up or shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeHawk Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 we will get even less respect in Indiana from the refs and fouls will determine the outcome - with us being a poor foul shooting team, I would continue to hack Josh, Teague ect. - very good chance the refs look the other way and allow the Pacers to play physical .

Gray Mule Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 So, now we know. Hawks can't win in Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 So, now we know. Hawks can't win in Indiana. And Indiana can't win in Atlanta. But we don't have the home court . . so . . . Paul George needs to "tweak" his ankle at some point during Game 6 or 7, and be out for the rest of the series 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted May 2, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hopefully we can pull out 2 wins. This team is certainly capable and I've been totally unimpressed with Indy despite them blowing us out. If by some miracle we win this series you have to wonder how we will fare in round 2 when every game will be a road game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
