    ? I dont blame the NBA. Been working for the Hawks for the past 2 seasons and it seems like everytime they have a primetime game they play like ? and not TV worthy at all.

    Cant do it when the last 5 outta 7 games were at home. ? it, shouldnt be scared of Boston at all. Much younger, better bench. Only thing holding them back is not having a legit Center which has been there problem for the last umpteen years.
