clutchcity25 Hawks were like the permanent 4 seed in the 90s Eastern Conference... 94 Knicks Hawks Hawks vs Pacers Pacers win Bulls Magic Pacers 97 Bulls Heat Knicks Hawks Hawks vs Bulls Bulls beat Hawks Pistons 98 Bulls Pacers Heat Hornets Hawks Hawks vs Hornets 🐝 win 99 Heat Magic Pacers Hawks Hawks vs Knicks Knicks win Pistons Wilkins should have been on the team with Steve Smith, Mookie Blaylock and Dikembe Mutombo from 1994 to 1999 and they would have made at least one ECF and who knows what when then
The same thing happened to the Hawks the next year, Detroit was highly anticipated to move on to the 2nd round for the dream matchup of Grant Hill vs. Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen. I'd say this was a bigger upset though considering this is before Dikembe Mutombo came to Atlanta.
@@LALakers4life34it's a team sport. Hill, even after his injuries, still was 17 6 and 4 for his career. Him and Penny were so damn good but Hill made the Hof because of his college championships as well of being a 7x all star in the nba. Hill missed basically 4 years in a row and somehow played very good with the magic and suns . Penny had a great 4 or 5 year run but was never the same or even close after getting injured in 97 or 98.
Shame Pacers lost this game. Hawks were never a chance against the Magic in the second round. The eye socket injury of Reggie Miller came at the worst time of the season for the Pacers. However, Pacers were predicted to win this series even without Miller playing.
A few weeks after this game I see Antonio Davis at the airport and asked for his autograph... ended that interaction by telling him I was bummed they lost to the Hawks.... Lol
This was a pretty significant upset that season - the Hawks in the early 90s were usually little more than a token first round opponent for someone to beat pretty easily. The thought was that Miller being out was the only reason this series was tied, and that with him back for the deciding game the Pacers would run away with it. Nobody really even considered the possibility that the Hawks might actually win this game.
pls tell me who u feel played the bulls better in the playoffs between the 93 hawks + 97 bullets + or pls tell me why the hawks never got past the semi finals in the 90's
the 97 hawks were overall better than the 96 hawks cuz they got a 1-1 tie vs the bulls in round 2 unlike the 96 team who fell down 3-0 in round 2 to the magic
you make sense and if you ask me the 97 bulls going 15-4 weren't as HIGHLY elite as the 96 bulls who went 15-3 no disrespect but the 96 magic led by legend shaquille o'neal weren't as HIGHLY elite as those two bulls teams led by legend michael jordan and still the 96 hawks who didn't have dikembe mutombo fell down 3-0 to the magic
Void left by Jordan's Bulls and Cleveland Cavs made Indiana '94 a possibility... If Pippen played all 82 games even, no Indiana '94. Hawks were soft pre - Mutombo, pre - Steve Smith, post - Wilkins fo' apocalyptic #1 seed Orlando was a good team, but Atlanta was a bum 1 seed. Wilkins trade dumbest ever. Jordan leaving literally made Indiana (everyone else) believe they had a shot. And Cleveland losing Daugherty to injury-retirement, Nance to injury-retirement, Hot Rod Williams to season ending injury day before playoff with Pippen Bulls Wilkins woulda put a gun up to Reggie and went at his throat for that ECF... Atlanta trading him is a travesty. The '94 Wilkins trade the worst trade ever (one of) along with Harper in '89 CLE trade (one of) Id have picked Atlanta vs New York ECF if I was a betting man if Wilkins squared off with Reggie in ECSF 1994... Wilkins didn't play and battled hard with the greatest , ie: Jordan 2🐂3 A I R 1🏆9🏆9🏆3 , Isiah Bad☠️Boy 🏆🏆 and Bird ☘️🐦🏆🏆🏆, (🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Magic to lesser degree) and was a legend in his own right. Cón 'Air' Jordan gone. Cón Pippen out 10 games. Cón Ewing already declining cause of age en Núeva York, cón Cleveland retiring and playing without anybody over 6'8" (Tyrone Hill) cuz their league leading shot blocking defensive Frontline was on IR and checking into retirement homes for rehabilitation stints. Y Orlando was soft and unready for NBA EC playoff basketball. Baby Shaq got swept alot. 94-99 Orl 94-96, LA 97-99, baby Shaq swept 6x (1-23 in playoff series lost in 90's) . Even Penny was better @ fighting when down. Penny was 3-6 post Shaq in Orlando and in 2000 vs LA in WCSF Penny was remarkably combative again. I think 6 games with 67-15 Phil Jackson LA. I think Pippen Bulls beat Reggie in '94 ECF. As Ewing still could in '94. I know Wilkins leading Willis, Blaylock and ATL beats Reggie in '94 ECSF. I know #1 seed Jordan Bulls or #1 seed Pippen (missed 10 games: CHI 4-6) Bulls beat Reggie in '94 ECSF. I think #1,#3,#4 seed healthy Price, Wilkins, Nance, Hot Rod, and Daugherty (maybe as good a lineup as the 89 Cavs with Harper + those 4)beats Reggie in '94 1stqtr round, ECSF, or ECF. If the Nets don't lose Blaylock and petrovic or Boston Reggie Lewis I'm kidding.... Not that far. Reggie had some magic. But the rest yeahhhh
That was a great game. I remember watching it back in the day
Reggie vs. Smitty. They went at it quite a bit in the mid-90's.

Wilkins should have been on the team with Steve Smith, Mookie Blaylock and Dikembe Mutombo from 1994 to 1999 and they would have made at least one ECF and who knows what when then
great performance by the Atlanta Hawks!
had miller not been injured the pacers probably would've won 3-1

had the 1997 pistons kept playing as well as they did starting 20-5 for what it's worth they probably would've reached round 2
@@youtuber3328 they would have shutout the Hawks 4-0 lol

That was weak pacers team couldn't rebound with davis and Smiths
if you ask me the 96 pacers were average being defeated in round 1
Thanks for sharing. Hard 2 believe this is 18! years old!

Derrick Mckey showed his best performance in pacers.
He was really smart

Put This Game On NBA TV Hardwood Classic On TV
grant long + stacey augmon were also on the 97 pistons
MSA was always so dark. They never lit it very well.
do you have the game where Steve Smith made a late 3pt'er while falling out of bounds? I think it was in this series. Thanks for posting this!
type in hawks 1997 + or hawks vs pistons 1997 game 5
u can also type in hawks vs pistons 1997 + or hawks vs pistons 1997 playoffs
Should have inserted ricky pierce, eddie johnson and travis best for the final shot.
this hawks team went to round 2 unlike the 97 pistons who lost in round 1
Shine my glasses bitch! Lol
You need to show the score! Jesus Christ, who did this!!!
NBC did it. The score would always pop in and out on TV.
the goats tied literally always have + will be wilt chamberlain and bill russell
miller didn't = dominique wilkins lenny wilkens cliff hagan pete maravich + bob pettit
Go HAWKS
please read my comments
i did + do hate hate almost every pacer ever
Same here. Hate the Pacers with a passion and enjoy seeing them lose here.
