That would be glorious.

I'm with Supes here....not worried about the Cavs, I'm just not. Hopefully this holds true.

Lol y'all are to carefree for me.  If this was a 7 game series, I wouldn't be worried about the Cavs, but this is one game where a hot shooting scrub can end your season. 

I'd be worried if they were playing Georgia Tech.

Terrell,  We've seen what Dre is capable of in the past without the injuries.  He is the same guy so stop with this game to game assessment. Dre should be our starting small forward for the next 5-6 year and Collins will be our starting power forward for the next 5-6 year.  If you don't like it, just get over it!

Peo, we've seen what Bogi is capable of in the past without the injuries..He is the same guy, so stop with this game to game assessment.. He's the 3rd most important player on the team after Trae and CC. JC might be 6th after Hunter and Gallo. . So there.. lol

You make valid points about brate.

I'm not worried about the Cavs but I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'm a little worried about the refs

Nope nope nope nope… they can’t do this again. That of Trae on the ref thingy.. not in back to back years. Is the NBA that shady? Yes they are!

Did you see that lane violation on Rondo?  I'm not fan of Rondo but that was just a truly awful call.

I'd only be worried about the refs if the Hawks were facing Brooklyn. No way the league lets Brooklyn get knocked out in the play-in. The Hawks' 3rd quarter run against Charlotte would have had all kinds of "intervention" by the officials if that was against Brooklyn. The Cavs just aren't at that level yet where they are deemed "too big to fail".

I can’t either. I mean I just can’t bet Hawks on big games. I usually like betting the other teams.

Trae is gonna go off tomorrow

Yea I think our depth is the key and getting rid of our depth for maybe one more star player is a bad idea.

Now this i actually don't agree with i think we for sure need a star player next to Trae to be a true finals and championship team.  Theirs no one on this team that can fully take over a game on a consistent basis when trae is struggling or is injured or having an off night.

We can still have some depth on the team while still getting a star player next to Trae as well were just gonna have to be more smart on how we spend it and who we spend it on.   You will more than likely get some good vets for the cheap trying to win when you have 2 star players on a team.

Na, with our team being injury prone if we get rid of depth for one star chances that star would get injured and we'd end up being worse off.

We'd be in trouble right now without Gallo since JC is injured for example,
