NBA playoffs: Hawks vs. Heat
They are missing two of their starters and what’s more they’re playing out on the road, and the history of such things just isn’t all that impressive.
This is the kind of thing that leads to the Hawks fans beating up their television before the game whistle or keeping a fifth of good bourbon hidden behind it to help them numb themselves against the pain.
This year however, it looks like you might not need the mind altering juices to be flowing before tipoff. You just might.. maybe.. be safe. They’ve been fighting the blows all season and now they are a team all grown up.
The Hawks do have a chance to win against Miami and that have that chance this evening in spite of the fact that Al Horford and Marvin Williams may be sitting it out, with an ankle and a wrist injury respectively.
They may have that chance even though they’ve not won a playoff series in the past decade, and they’ve not come out on top in a best of seen in more than thirty years.
Do you know WHY, they have a chance? Smith said it best. They are different now. They didn’t always have a chance but this time, they have toughness and a tenacity that’s going to make the difference in the outcome.
Wait and see. Win or lose, the Hawks aren’t going to let you down.
