Just like last year i don't & won't expect us to get any national media talk. Were better than everybody in the East not named Cleveland

We're better than Cleveland

 

[AVXL]

We're better than Cleveland

Nah and I say this as a devoted Hawks fan. We are in no way better than CLE, I believe were better than everybody else in the East tho

I feel the same way. Last year showed us that and I don't think we added enough to put us over the top. But I do think if we face them again it will be a more competitive series.

 

[Professor K.]

We're not better than Cleveland, but we cam beat them. We can beat anybody. If we play our game and can dictate how they play there's then we can win it all. Plus we will fare better against a fully healthy Cavs team anyway

I'm going to have to requote this when we make it to the Finals this season

I think people are sold on the fact that Yu can lock Korver up like last year. I don't think that's the case I think he just had a bad playoff. It's not like he has a history of disappearing in the playoffs.

I think we can be more competitive with them come playoff time, but come playoffs nah I don't think we'd beat them. We got bigger, but didn't really add any scoring. How do you beat a LeBron James team without a legitimate 3? BAZE is a nice player, but against Bron? IDK brehs, CLE is too deep, but I think we can still b very good again this yr

Why do you think we're better than Cleveland?

 

[Sly Cookin]

With sefolosha back, I think we are better than Cleveland. JR blacked out against us as well as shumpert. Throw bazemore and holiday at them and we have different results.

Let's not forget, demarre gave us no production after he messed up his knee. We won't be playing Cleveland with a hobbled sf

Thabo said it himself. He would have slowed down bron.

Last year we traded our first pick mid-season

yeh... not sure wtf we doing with these first round pics

I don't think an improved Bazemore, Thabo & Holiday is enough to overcome Bron & a streaky JR in a playoff series. True JR did blackout on us, but he has a tendency to do that and has the skill set to do that whenever. I think it's dangerous to try and guess who & who won't be injured too...we don't know how out team will look 6 months from now. I think at best our off season additions nets us a couple of wins vs. CLE, but I don't see us as 4 out of 7 games better than them. Sorry brehs

Teague is scoring/playing on a higher level this year, Baze will be a better scorer than Carroll by the end of the season, Splitter is a better scorer than Antic, and THJR is a better scorer than John Jenkins

What about Kyrie and Love who barely played that series?
