First Playoff Match-Up Locked: [4] ATL vs. [5] MIA

it's so unfair!

I'm starting to hate Josh Smith and the Hawks. They're banging Wade every chance they get. Fuckers.

man, i've started to hate them a nunber of times ago let's face a reallity, we can't win them without 100% wade, so i think we can't win it in 7, at least we need a HUGE mirracle!

Good thing Wade's flagrant foul has been recinded. Referees are so inconsistent but they always have been. It seems like Wade's ready to come out big tonight, although he's heavily banged up with injuries and rough plays of Atlanta NFL style basketball. I can already smell a big turn around in this series, starting with tonight's win.

GO HAWKS!


Kill Wade and all this fanfarre around Miami!!!!



Yes, I'm tired of all the fashion the NBA is throwing around Wade and the Heat when Phoenix had a better overall record...

Game 6 looks like it could be the most competitive in the series, though that's not saying much with all the blowouts so far.

EDIT: Spoke too soon.

ROFL Sorry but it's not Maimi's fault PHX not making playoffs. Besides, Wade deserved attention since the team bounced their way back to the playoffs from miserabl 15 win season. That alone says a lot. As for Kill Wade and fanfare comment, you are being ridicilous.

Yes, Andrew, you spoke way too soon once again and would you please speak again? I like it when you speak early, now I feel another blow out coming up in favor of the Heats.


Hoping to see JO back in line up for Game 7. We aren't 100% but I believe we still can own them even in their court.

Wade deserves MVP

I'm liking Beasley, but Hawks will prevail.

Wade deserves MVP

He should be. He carried Miami on his back this season.

No, he shouldn't be. LeBron or Kobe should be. But it would be LeBron.

I know more of you are anticipating a LeBron-Wade second round battle (especially teens on their puberty stage) but I do not think it would happen. The Hawks will win the deciding game at their home and Usher will be booed at Atlanta the moment the Cavs face the Hawks.

Sorry, but I've already got a few predictions right and I'm doing pretty well on the awards so far; Hawks lost this one on their own power. It looked liked they might be more respectable when they closed the gap a bit but it wasn't to be. Kind of a shame, I didn't bother to watch the second half. Great game if you're a Heat fan but a boring one for the more impartial observer.

Well looks like Atlanta is taking this one, with 11 minutes to go, they're up by 20 points. Was hoping that the Heat would take this one, but the Hawks are just too good for them, having more balanced team (more players, who could do something). Oh well, maybe next year.

Atlanta got it done nicely. Will be exciting how they play against the Cavs but imho they do not have a chance at all.

Congrats to the Hawks for getting it done but what an unusual seven game series, trading blowout victories. A little less suspensful than you'd expect or want of a series that goes the distance.

Yeah, every win is in double digits.

Cleveland vs Atlanta. Usher will now have an headache.
