    Would the NBA allow the Hawks to win the East?

    Not sure if that one was in the script

    once playoffs start its not rigged anymore. I would even venture to say 85% of NBA games are not rigged or dont involve any type of pre-meditated point shaving...

    fact is though the Hawks are just not talented enough to get past Lebron James in the playoffs

    I'd hate to be the ref that blows it and puts the hawks in the finals. You'll be officiating souix falls v Maine d-league games the following year

    the playoffs last year was rigged . I couldn't stand the calls the refs were making . Especially in blazers vs rockets series . It was unreal . Idk about the pSt years but this past one was Terrible . And no I'm not a rockets fan and I'm saying that's why they Loss but they made very crucial calls late in games .

    Schroeder, Korver, and Horford are damn near unstoppable right now. This team can bounce the Cavs in the playoffs but it's still the Bulls over all the other teams in the East.

    If Atlanta makes the playoffs, they can win the East. The only real problem I see is that they will likely peak waaaaay too soon. At least it's a good possibility and should be considered in this situation.

    What does Lebron James have to say about it? Cleveland won't be getting past Chicago or Toronto and neither will Atlanta or Washington. Barring injuries, nobody in the east can hang with the Bulls.

    Chicago is not playing D like in years past. The present Bulls are all about playing the offensive side of the floor. They are weak! The Hawks are playing above expectations. One thing to consider is when was last time Hartford played a whole season?

    Was thinking the same thing. Stern wouldn't have this lol but silver doesnt care. Although i would be worried that he loves gambling and wants to legalize (which i'm not complaining bout) but just imagine being on the other side of silvers bet lol gl

    We should have known a 30 point home loss to the Bucks would come right after this.

    Horrible timing by the Hawks, the whole league talking them up and they shit the bed. Think the Bulls win the east. Hawks behind the raps, wiz and possibly behind the Cavs. Cavs need to make a trade somewhere to get a rim protector and rebounder or they are screwed

    They shoulda added Waiters on that Wiggins trade to get Dieng. Now the Cavs are toast. Good luck getting a washed up journeyman Center like Dalembert

    Just a bad spot guys nothing more. 2nd gm back from road trip, day after x-mas , and they just beat several real good teams in a row. Think they were real motivated to get up against Waukee last night?? Let's see what happens tonight in the rematch....

    would they allow Orlando, San Antonio, and Cleveland to win some very important lotteries?

    Would they allow San Antonio to win five titles?

    Would they allow Isiah Thomas to set the Knicks back a decade with crippling trades, inept coaching, and sexual harassment lawsuits?

    Would they block a trade that would've sent Chris Paul to the Lakers?

    Yea they beat the clips, even with the good ole home cookin. You see how many refs turned a blind eye to the hawks on so many 2nd half plays.

    ABC would have a cow if they got stuck with the Hawks in the NBA finals

    people in Atlanta dont even like the Hawks.

    But they do play good team basketball. And good defense.

    Lebron will decide to play hard in playoffs and single handedly destory them.
