EC First Round: [#4] Atlanta Hawks (0) vs [#5] Miami Heat (0)

[NAHSTE]

Hawks in six.

LOVE the persona brah. Whoever you are.

Heat have to take either game 1 or 2 in ATL. If they fail to do that, I don't think they'd be able to dig themselves out of an 0-2 hole.

 

[MRN]

Heat in 7. I think D-Wade will show up big.

 

[Rylo]

Heat in 6.

 

[Blick]

I've kind of adopted the Heat as my team this year since they have 2 rooks from my favorite schools in Beasley and Chalmers. I'll be rooting for them. I think the Hawks will probably take it in 7, though.

 

[Awesometrax]

Hawks in 7, I think this will be an epic series but I think the homefield advantage will be the difference for Atlanta, and they now have some playoff experience after last year.

Heat in 5

 

[LC AAU]

The Heat were really 2-1, since the last match up was like Thomas Gardner and Mario West vs Mark Blount and Diawara.

Heat in 6. Beasley drops 30 at least one of the games, and Wade drops 50.

 

[Primetime]

Close series for me. Heat takes it home though. Moon should be able to play some nice D on Smith and Wade should be able to contain JJ.

LOL, I'm assuming you meant Hawks were 2-1, either way, both of those wins were blowouts. I am really not worried about this just based on how the two teams match up. There is nary a player on the Heat who can stop Marvin, Horf and Josh from getting theirs, and as long as either Bibby or Joe are hitting from outside, Flash can't be at 2 places at once. This series will be very hardly contested I feel, but ultimately the Hawks just are the better team IMO,

The Heat have the best player in the series, then the next 5 best are Hawks players. That can't be good for Miami.

 

[Point Blank]

I can't wait for this game later.

 

[NAHSTE]

so 12 people think the hawks will win,and 27 ppl think Miami will win?

im suprised so many of you think the heat will win

Yeah, go figure, lot of Wade dick riders on VSN it seems. Oh well, it's about to be on like Mario Kart...

Dont be butthurt Hawks fans.. the Heat are deeper than just Wade. Chalmers is a big shot taker, Daquen Cook is a big shot taker, Haslem and O'Neal are bangin' down low.. Beasley bringing offense off the bench, then you got the dude who might be as tough to guard 1 on 1 as LeBron James. Heat have what it takes to beat the Hawks, especially if Josh Smith decides to start chuckin'.

 

[ATL Jones Bro]

Wade is my fav player but Hawks are my favorite team and overall better.

BTW Everyone one is picking Heat because of Wade. Seriously, hes one of the few with playoff experience on their team. Seriously you think Wade can carry them all the way?

Hawks in 6.

JOSH SMITH ON THOSE DUNKS!! OH BABY!

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

hawks in 6... dwade is just not that hungary anymore

What exactly would make you say something so absolutely ridiculous? A bad performance when his team just couldnt get shit going? Talk to me before the end of the series. Lol @ "wade is just not that 'hungary' anymore". Wow..

Credit to the Hawks for bringing their A game tonite, but its a 7 game series. Even if ATL wins the next game @ home.. they going to go to Miami and its gonna be a different story. That being said, ATL learned a lot from their match-up last year, while the Heat team is relatively young.. they will learn from this experience.. I still say its going 7 and the Heat can get it done.

I dont see the Heat getting to game 7. To me the Heat are a young, downgraded version of the Hawks from last year. The reason they are even above .500 is because of Wade. Jermaine O'Neal is just not that good anymore. I mean, Wade almost averages as many rebounds as him! Marvin Williams stats are similar than O'Neals and he has way less experience. Michael Beasly and Mario Chalmers are the only other real bright spots besides Wade.

The Hawks are to good for Miami. The scoring is far better, the passing, rebounding, defense, and teamwork are better overall. Honestly the only thing better for MIA is the SG.

Even if the Hawks win in 4.. my post was more so towards questioning how ridiculous it is to say Wade isnt "hugary" (check that spelling) anymore.

I dont think it will be in 4. I think Wade can get em going at home and win in 6.

But i agree. Wade not hungary? This guy wouldn't have put up such big numbers and carried his team to the playoffs if he wasn't hungary.

 

[ATL Jones Bro]

lol @ "hungary"


but i still say hawks in 6

LOL.. I'm not a speller.

Anyways. I think Al Horford is gonna have a big game some point in the series. REAL BIG. He has alot of skill and i think hes alot better than O'Neal. Also Johnson is going to have a 40 point game as well. Thats my prediction.

 

[FlawLeSs]

man game 2 was shit...

JJ missing clutch freethrows and the heat hitting 16 3's


FLUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
