Nope LeBron pretty much beat the Hawks by himself in the '15 ECF Love was out the entire series and Kyrie Irving was injured.

Personally I would have put the Hawks on the top of that list but LeBron also took care of the #1 team on the list.

Oh wow, look at you using that tool we call the Internet and putting some effort behind your argument for the first time probably ever! I thought you were going to stick your head in the sand and pretend like this debate never happened like normal, but I see that you actually did some homework this time. Kudos.

And now I might have to take your kudos back, because I'm wondering if you bothered to watch your own video.

"DeMarre Carroll was banged up, Korver was out after Game 2 with an ankle inury, Horford was ejected in Game 3 after being frustrated by Matthew Delavaodova."

So if it's a point in the Cavs favor for Love being out the series (like I already said) and Irving playing hurt, then it's a point in the Hawks favor for one starter playing hurt, another starter (and All-Star) for missing two games, and the team's MVP being ejected in a crucial game. Thank you for proving my point.

the '15 Hawks lost to LeBron still in his prime and a young Kyrie still healthy able to play before his freak injury in the Finals. You've made it clear how little you think of the Bucks because you've given them zero credit throughout the postseason, so which Hawks opponent was tougher, the '15 Cavs led by LeBron and Irving, or the '21 Bucks that played 40-45 percent of the series without Giannis and also missing another starter in Donte DiVincenzo?

And while you're pretending to think about that, consider these facts as well: the '21 Hawks lost each of their ECF games by double digits, and getting BTFO by 34 in Game 2, when it still mattered; the '15 Hawks only lost by double digits twice, one of them being in Game 4 after they had thrown in the towel; they took Game 3 to OT and lost by three.

I also neglected to mention that in Game 4 of the '21 ECF when Giannis got hurt in the third quarter, the Bucks were starting to surge and get their way back into the game, outscoring Atlanta by 6 in the quarter at that point. The Bucks were only down by eight when there was about 7:15 left in the quarter, and pretty much had the will to play sucked out of them after the injury. Not unreasonable to say that if it never happened, the series might have only been five games.

The '15 Hawks took the Cavs to OT in Game 3 without their most important player and lost by three. The '21 Hawks were gifted Game 4 by a team that no longer wanted to be there after losing the heart and soul of the team, then, and I'm going to make it as loud as possible, NEVER WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN A LEAD AGAIN AT ANY POINT IN THE REST OF THE SERIES, AND WERE ONLY TIED WITH THE BUCKS AGAIN DURING EACH GAMES' TIPOFF.

We already know that you consider the '15 Cavs to be the superior team to the Bucks because you can't name a single Bucks player not named Giannis (notice how I didn't say Antetokounmpo) or Holiday, so going by your logic, the '15 Cavs lost to better team among both opponents, while the '21 Hawks lost to an opponent that you don't even think should have been there.

The only reason you think this year's Hawks are better is because you recognize Trae Young from SportsCenter highlights and Top 10 lists from YouTube, so you think he's the third coming of Jesus (you think the second is James Harden).

I'll let you keep your kudos. It took you so long to earn it, and what kind of monster would I be to take it away now?

Since you didn't get it the first time I say it again I don't have cable so I don't watch SportsCenter.  Also since live in Texas and follow all Texas NBA teams I'm also very familiar with Clint Capella I mentioned him on VgChartz years ago already.  He just needs a couple more solid years to also be better then any of the players on '15 Hawks team.  Also you bringing up NBA 2K in the previous comment was extremely dumb since I barely play that franchise and its extremely easy to find that out all you have to do is click on my signature exophase tracks the play time in those games extremely well.
