The Atlanta Hawks fell to the Miami Heat Sunday night and after losing three of their last four have fallen to 14-20 and a season-worst six games below .500.

With the All-Star break just a week away, the Hawks are limping to the finish line, literally and figuratively.

Atlanta Hawks broadcaster Mike Conti joined John and Hugh after the latest loss to Miami and expressed some concern about the Hawks falling off the pace in the Eastern Conference.

"It's very disappointing. I don't think anyone saw this team being six games under .500 and they're digging themselves a hole that, if they aren't careful, they're going to have a difficult time climbing out of and getting into the playoff," says Conti. "More than half of the games they've lost this year have been games they have led in the fourth quarter. It's an incredible stat, something that cannot happen, and it continues to happen."
