Capela actually did a pretty good job on him later in the game but that pulled him away from the glass. JC would have been a difference maker.
If the Hawks can't find a way to get to 7th then I almost hope they stay at 9. If they get the 8 seed they have to go on the road in Brooklyn which would be a very tough game then would have a home game against Charlotte most likely. With the 9 see they'd have a home game against Charlotte which would be tough but I like them at home, then they'd likely face Cleveland on the road. With Cleveland missing Mobley and Allen, I'd rather face Cleveland in a win or go home than Brooklyn and Charlotte. Even if it would be on the road. I'm not trying to take away from Cleveland because they could certainly win but there's no question this version of Cleveland is worse than the current versions of Brooklyn and Charlotte.

First scenerio in bold you have a loss to Brooklyn then a home game against Charlotte.
Therefore 1 must win at home in Charlotte.
Second scenerio in bold, which you would prefer, is a home game against Charlotte for a must win then on the road to face cleveland
Therefore 1 must win at home in Charlotte and 1 must win on road against Cleveland.
There I made it easier for you.
