Atlanta Hawks: EXPOSED??????
Let’s take a look at the facts: the Atlanta Hawks won a bunch of games in spite of their all-permeating mediocrity, thanks to the help of the referees and Adam Silver. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets, due to a combination of external factors, have failed to live up to their bountiful potential. The playoffs are where team’s true tendencies and skill-levels appear. Those are three facts right there, immutable, true by definition.
So I would say that the Hawks have not been exposed by the Nets and Bojan Bogdanovic. They are merely the worse team (despite the W column), and as such, should be expected to lose games against the superior team.
