You guys are funny. I've lived in Atlanta since 1994 and this is the most excitement I have ever witnessed for the Hawks in this city. This is also the furthest the Hawks have ever made it in an NBA season and I was here when Dominique, Blaylock, Steve Smith, Danny Manning and a few other greats were on the team back in the day at one point or another.
This current group has overachieved in my opinion considering they play in the same conference as Lebron, D Rose, Melo, John Wall, D Wade and a few other superstars on other eastern conference teams. They don't have the experience to get past this point and it showed tonight and throughout this series.
Lebron is the closest to Jordan in this generation, not in skill set level, but, with his incredible will power to win. I don't think any team should be ashamed to lose to Lebron in the playoffs. Just my opinion.
