Yeah, because people voting for the Cavs at a significantly higher rate all took place AFTER the series. Sounds plausible. So I guess damn near nobody voted until the Cavs were winning the series according to you, since the Hawks have so little votes and apparently they were the favorites, huh?

Stop. This is embarrassing levels of reaching.
I didn't say it all took place after the series, I said it took place over the course of the series, from when they took the 1-0 lead until the final game. That crap happens all the time on The Coli, do you pay attention to anything? Watch any open poll change over the course of the game/series as it gets more and more obvious what the result will be.
And how does what I said translate to "damn near nobody voted?"

I'm sure there were well over a hundred votes before the series started. Stop making up stuff.
So on ONE source (ESPN), the Cavs were ONLY favored by a 20% rate, so that means the Cavs weren't overwhelming favorites (but you want to ignore a poll on here with an overwhelming majority picking the Cavs because you think somehow that no one voted until the series was already in the Cavs favor lmao). Now come up with a source that has the Hawks favored. Or even at a 50/50 split. I'll wait.
One source? Pretty much all the sources said the same thing. This is what showed up first on google:
NBA.com net roundup: 20 experts picking Cavs, 13 picking Hawks (they use Kyrie on offense as the lead-in photo, reminding you that people were only picking the Cavs IF they had Kyrie)
Sporting News: 1 picked Cavs, 1 picked Hawks, but the guy who picked Cavs said his main reason was "Irving and James are the two best players in this series"
SB Nation: 4 Cavs, 2 Hawks, but one of the guys to pick Cavs said, "Feels like a coin flip", so just as easy could have been 3-3
Topbet.eu: Picked Cavs in 7, but on the condition: "Cleveland can’t afford Irving to miss any games moving forward, especially against a team like Atlanta."
And note that just about EVERYONE was saying the series would go 6 or 7, and that's with Kyrie coming back rested and somewhat healthy.
So the trend is clear. It was generally seen as a toss-up series, with the toss-up falling about 60-40 in the Cavs favor IF they had Kyrie.
That's what the receipts show.
Now compare that to:

@ those false narratives. Nobody had the Hawks beating the Cavs in 2015....They were the overwhelming favorites in every one of those series. Lebron fans trying to re-write recent history as if we all just forgot or something is honestly hilarious.
Nobody? Just a straight lie, it was a lot of folk. And "overwhelming favorite?" NONE of those sites I listed were calling the Cavs the overwhelming favorite, they all were saying it would be a close series and that's WITH Kyrie on the floor.
Oh, while you're at it, find me where people had Boston winning last year or Toronto winning in 2016, since that's what you Bron nuthuggers were initially claiming
I didn't say one word about that, liar.
Skimming through that thread, the vast majority of the comments had the Cavs winning. Pulling up a few quotes with the Hawks winning
How is 20+ comments and 60+ votes "a few"?
Including some of the guys who were dapping and cosigning you.

Sensitive hoe. Back at you.
I negged you because you lied about me and continued to lie about me.
You claim I was rewriting history, but you can't quote a SINGLE statement I made for which you have a receipt to prove me wrong. Not one.
At least I get the satisfaction of negging you off your 100 rep while you trying to put a dent in 3,000.
