TIL Buddy Hield is an Atlanta Hawk.
We will miss you in the NBA Play-In, Heat bros.
Good luck 🥹
Honestly best of luck it would be so funny sending the Knicks home in the first round
Somebody do the “Skips Sitting Next To Graves” meme with the Heat, Hawks, and Bulls logos.
OH YEAH GIVE ME THE KNICKS AGAIN
Atrocious choice by the Hawks to not even try to win. They may end up in 6th place instead of 5th if the Maine Celtics hold on.
They’re 6th, raps are the 5 seed they have the tiebreaker over the hawks
Hawks would win a 3 way tie if Orlando wins because they won their division
Didn’t even know that’s how it worked lol thought raps were just 5th cause they have the tiebreaker over th magic and hawks
It’s hilarious cause the Raptors have the head to head tiebreaker over both teams individually, but if it ends up in a 3 way tie, the combined division power tiebreaks will put one or the other above Toronto Lmaoo
Not really. Just shows the team thinks Boston and Cleveland are about equal in terms of matchups. Why risk injuries at that point?
Two ways to look at it:
Last game of the regular season with not too much on the line so the big guns are sitting👎
Buddy Hield having his Hawks legacy game👍
The Hawks starting lineup was hilarious
Orlando has probably given us a more fun but toxic 1st round series. A little bummed about not finishing above the Raptors though 💔
Trae is not gonna save the hawks this time
Who?😉
Thank you Miami via Raptors fan
Hawks really want to face the Knicks it seems
We thought the Orlando Magic were a serious basketball team. That’s our fault.
I think they just preferred to stay 95% healthy (thanks, Goga) and assumed that Orlando, with something to play for, would beat the Baylor sheiermen led Celtics. They overestimated Orlando’s competence for sure lol
sorry, I don’t understand how the Orlando result impacts it at all, can someone explain?
Hawks win the 3 way tie break since they won their division, so the order would be ATL/TOR/ORL if Orlando wins
Yeah, pretty much every thing I’ve seen on this is split on who the Hawks would want to face, so I’m assuming that the team just wanted to be healthy heading into their series.
Either way I’m going to use this as an opportunity to laugh at Orlando
We didn’t know Orlando is this much of a disaster
They though the magic would beat our bench but they forgot how goated out bench is. Their was some tie breaker stuff but basically as long as we lost the Hawks losing didnt matter.
