Put the Hawks in the West and they don't make it out of the first round. The Mavs would have wiped the floor against the Knicks and a hobbled 76ers.
Just because they took the Clipps to 7 games does not mean had they won, they would get to the Finals. Are we totally dismissing Utah who they would have played next? Then Phoenix. C'mon man, every series is different. Matchups are different.
