The Finals: Pre-game 4

Hi!

I realize it has been a long while since I checked in on here but oh well!

I am tremendously excited that the Hawks have made it this far, don't get me wrong, but I'm worried. In games 1-3 of this series, they did not look like our Hawks. Not our hawks from the first 98 games of the season, at least to me anyways. I thought that they were lucky to get the wins in 1 and 2 and were dominated in 3. Simply put, they have to be better. I know Philly is a tough building to play in on the road but they have played in a lot of tough buildings this year and have done tremendously well.

Tonight's game is so important. The difference between 3-1 and 2-2 is huge. They need to win tonight, they simply have to.

Personally, I think they need Ladd back. I don't know why, he doesn't seem to be the game changer most nights but I think they need to try it.

Thoughts?
