To Live and Die...in the ATL

There is an old saying...in the basketball world...High School, College, Rec Leagues,  Church Leagues...and the Pros...

The 3 point shot can win you some...and lose you some.

When it's on...you win.

When it's off...you lose.

And so it was with our beloved Atlanta Hawks.  They lived for 6 games against the Indianapolis Pacers.  And the 7th game...they died.

For with these Hawks...they lived with the 3 pointers...and subsequently ...died as a result of the 3's missing their mark.

Slow Your Roll....Hawks Fans

The ATL was abuzz with game 1 with the Indiana Pacers..."Hawks Win"!

Well...reality has just set in.   

These Hawks...our Hawks...are an under .500 team...an 8th seed.

The only legitimate All-Star...Al Horford.... has been injured for months...not playing in this series ...

These Hawks...are not very good.  They caught "lightning in a bottle"  for one night.

Let's not confuse them with the Miami Heat.
