Atlanta's throwing in the towel, taking Horford out.
Considering how bad Horford looked against us, might help them win.
Bradley just went for the steal and then recovered from behind his man. Just crazy quickness.
That's my boy AB!!
I'd rather lose this game if Atlanta can't mount a comeback. Would much rather be the 6 seed against Miami than the 5 seed against Atlanta.
I just can't make myself root for us to lose.
I do slightly prefer a Miami matchup if possible, but to be honest it doesn't phase me too much. Miami, Atlanta and Charlotte are all fairly similar quality teams, and we are plenty capable of beating either of those teams in a 7 game series if we play it right.
Atlanta hasn't historically been the toughest playoff team in recent years, and with their general lack of size and rim protection we match up with them quite OK.
Honestly I'm ok with any matchup, long as we miss Toronto and Cleveland.
