Hawks-Magic GDT

[Neurotic Guy]

Cut to 14, but it doesn't appear to be all that hopeful for the Hawks.

I don?t understand people having a preference in this matchup?we haven?t played that well against either team but in a playoff setting both series should be an easy time for the Celtics, no?

I'd pick Boston in 5 against both. But against Orlando it would be a tougher 5. Kind of like 2023, where against ATL it was a "tougher" series and because Young hit that logo 3, it went to a 6th game. I fear ORL could do the same.

ATL to me this year is an easy gentlemen's sweep. ORL is slightly tougher, more chances of close games and they also play physical, good defense.

Atlanta stinks but in the games against us this season they?ve played really well and given us problems, idk I don?t have a preference

Yeah but the Celtics didn't have Porzingis in any of the games, and I think the January game were also sitting 1-2 guys. They had a 30 point blowout win in November. I do agree the Hawks played us tough the last two games, including the NBA Cup game.

Young needs to go nuclear in the 2nd half for them to have a chance

[Who]

I don't know about Okongwu as a starter. Great backup center. But he is seriously undersized as a starter. Does not offer enough defensively.

As a Hawks fan since 1 hour ago I still believe!

[Who]

What was that shot by Cory Joseph? He is not a shooter. No need to settle for that. Especially when the other team is on a run against your team.

[Who]

Okongwu looks like he should be a PF but I am not sure he is skilled enough offensively to play there.

[Phantom255x]

7 point deficit!

[Who]

Man, that was a nice move by Banchero.

This Magic offense is? something.

Would you rather play a middling offense and defense (Atlanta) or an excellent defense and awful offense (Orlando)? Still prefer the treadmill team if Atlanta.

[Who]

3pt game. What a collapse by Orlando.

[Vermont Green]

A lot harder to score when you are not getting offensive rebounds. Atlanta is rebounding better. Making it harder on Orlando. Not too worried about either of these teams.

[Phantom255x]

A comeback by OUR Hawks! 

[SHAQATTACK]

This will be overtime , I?m not gonna get involved and stay up.

I slightly prefer Orlando tbh, hawks matchups gave us fits during our last 2 matchups with them and Trae could always have late game heroics. Shouldn?t matter either way though.
