Hawks Notes And Typical ESPN.Com Shoddy Work

The Atlanta Hawks “opened” the 8 point and over 3 to 1 game and 4 plus to 1 series “faves,” the Milwaukee Bucks (116-113) at Milwaukee last night. Trae Young, OF COURSE, led the way, hitting for 48 points.

I will have more on the Hawks and the fact every one of the 32 NBA and NHL ‘offs teams, as is the case a phenomenal percentage of the possibilities in the years of 4 playoff rounds for all the qualifiers (also 3 rounds), have now lost at home.

Below ESPN.com FAILS to note the Hawks were in the Western Conference and though but (1-8) in such games, losing both series to eventual NBA runners up, the Lakers (Celts in ’69, made it 11 titles in 13 seasons, at that point, and were (7-0) vs the Lakers in an NBA final, eventually (8-0) and now (9-3) while the Knicks dropped the Lakers’ title round record to (0-7) as the L.A. representative, after going (5-1) as Minneapolis led by George Mikan and Jim Pollard) they did win a semis/conference/division final game. They are now (2-12) in semis games as the Atlanta Hawks.

“Never before had the Hawks won an Eastern Conference finals game since moving to Atlanta in 1968. The Hawks reached the East finals in 2015, but were swept by Cleveland.”
