Breh right now we're playing MIA in the first round without home court advantage. Are you really that confident we'd beat them 4 outta 7 times? What have we done this season to prove we're better than them?

And BOS is no beast but do you trust this team to win 4 outta 7 times without home court? It may not look like it but the East is better this yr than it was last yr and we got worse, BOS is a prime example of that.

BOS would be our best matchup but if they have HC on us, I don't see us winning that series, even with HC I think it's gonna be difficult
I think talent Trumps seeds.

Korver Jeff played like shyt up until all star.. Obviously being two starter's that affected our record. We had no reliability on the bench and THJ was a non factor.

All those things have recently reversed in JUST the right time..the time where we needed the most. I think hump is a huge boost and a better Rebounder than any bench big we've had in years..nice drive game too.

If we had tiago bytch ass itll be no question. Only teams I fear is CLE and they looking shaky and...that's it.

If the Hawks are playing like they've played lately in the playoffs, only team in the East I would say could beat them is Cleveland, and maybe Toronto (and I'm not even sure about Toronto).

Hump really is looking like this years Carroll.. Not putting up amazing stats but doing all the little things.. Boards.. Toughness.. Great signing for bud. Lawd if his three ball start falling.

AVXL is such a pessimist it's crazy. Ain't nobody in the east scary.:comeon:


Who gon beat us 4 times out of 7? We are a team nobody wants to face in the 1st round. Cavs damn sure wouldn't want us to lock up the 8th seed. We #1 in defense for a reason:bryan:

The bolded have me absolutely stunned because with the way this team is made up. I wouldn't think in a million years they would be #1 in defense.
