Does this team deserve to make the playoffs?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In sports, there are teams that roll through their regular season and clinch a playoff spot early. Other teams get hot toward the end of the regular season and continue their hot run in the playoffs.
Alas, the Hawks are neither of these.
The way they’re playing lately, the Hawks are going to “back into” the playoffs. I.e. Philadelphia, New Jersey and/or Indiana would have to collapse in order for the Hawks to get in.
Is that what you really want, Hawk fans? Do you want our team to be struggling when they take on #1 seed Boston? In essence, do you want to see a team that is the opposite of being on a roll?
Don’t get me wrong. I want to see the Hawks in the playoffs. But I also want to see a playoff with teams that deserve to be there.
I hope the Hawks get hot real quick.
