Dominant Hawks clinch 21st pennant

a single two-team four-game competition between the champs and runners-up starting Nov 14.

In other words:

"a 4 game series between the Hawks and the 2nd place team starting Nov 14."

Are they still giving a one win advantage to the higher seed? Horrible idea that should have been changed since day 1.

And don't even get me started on the name "climax" series (which is not even the final round of the playoffs.)

Not really unexpected considering they constantly buy all the best players from their rivals
