Hawks have to be one of the most overrated #1 seeds in NBA history. Hawks are at full strength and are struggling against the Wizards who have basically been playing without their all-star PG the entire series.
As much as I don't like Cleveland, they should handle the Hawks rather easily.

Nice pic Sven but.... the 94-95 Sonics were 6 W's ahead of everyone else in the NBA and also had an SRS of 8.68 which was way ahead of everyone else and even the #2 Knicks at 6.48.
Atlanta had the best W/L and SRS in the East but had the 4th best SRS overall.
Rather than the most overrated the 94-95 Sonics probably were the biggest choke...perhaps in NBA history.
And stop being a dingleberry about SRS. It adjusts for point differential and SOS and is a pure measure at how good teams are. Its much more important to football given the much shorter schedule.
Interestingly, there is a parallel to the Sonics in the 90s and Oregon football recently. Both registered extremely strong SRS ratings over more than a few seasons but could never win the ultimate prize.

You really are the "stats superiority guy". I thought is was all bullshit.

Golden State has it in the bag.
