The Hawks didn't have any slip-ups in the first round of this year's playoffs like they did last season.
A clean 3-0 sweep, for the third time in Roger's career, sending Ray Allen's Bucks home.
Sometimes, Roger feels certain things are truly destined.
If everything had developed according to the original timeline, the Bucks wouldn't even have made it to the playoffs this year.
As a result, because Ron Artest was traded to the Pistons instead of the Pacers, the Pacers' strength plummeted, freeing up a playoff spot.
This vacant spot was just so happen taken by the Bucks, and then the Bucks coincidentally met the Hawks again.
Roger also happens to be one of Ray Allen's least favorite players.
Ray Allen doesn't understand why fate insists on arranging such suffering and humiliation for him. He's hated Roger for a long time, hated Roger's tendency to always be superior.
