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.

Also since you didn't get it the first time I say it again

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.

And none of that has anything to do with the '15 Hawks vs. the '21 Hawks. I think we're pretty much done here, but I'll humor you.

"I don't have cable so I don't watch SportsCenter."

Neither do I, but have you heard of this thing called the Internet? I think you might be using it. One can easily find SportsCenter there. I mean, someone is feeding you information somehow. Do you ride into town on your best horse every few days to get a paper?"

"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."

Oh, so you are aware that there are other players on the court that contribute to a team's success, and they don't necessarily have to make All-Star teams or be featured on magazine covers to be relevant... or is it that you're only aware of Capella because you happened to see his name on the back of his jersey while watching James Harden highlights?

Either way, maybe you should bring up this argument that he'll be better than anyone on the '15 Hawks in a couple of years in 2023, when making the comment might actually start to make sense, because that has nothing to do with anything now. Also, Capela is 27; I wouldn't exactly call him a "rising star brimming with untapped potential."

"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."

I have no idea what you are talking about, but you seem to think that I am supposed to be aware of all these details of your personal life as if we aren't two strangers on the Internet. I could not care less about your "exophase tracks" and your playtime, and that has nothing to do with this whole discussion.
