I think the Hawks win in 6. I think Carroll keeps Lebron in check, and Korver gets his shot back. Regardless of the outcome, I think this will be a better series than most believe.

 

If Korver rebounds that definitely changes the dynamic of the series.

I want to see how the cavs duo of kyrie and lebron shoot in this series. They were horrible in fg% last series so if they can get back up to their regular selves I think it's the cavs series to take. If lebron shoots in the 30% s and kyrie too like last series (not sure if that Stat is completely correct but it's close I know) then the Hawks will take it.

Atlanta has to be the winningest team to never be taken seriously as a title contender.

Anyone picking them in this series?

A few months ago: yes.  I truly believe they were the second best team in the NBA at one point this year.  However they're yet to impress me in the playoffs.  They haven't looked anything close to the team they were in January.  I ultimately feel like LeBron will be too much in this series even with the Cavs being as banged up as they are.  I think LeBron is just gonna be LeBron and Kyrie will have enough big games to pull it out in 6-7 for the Cavs.  

 

Hawks in 5 if they somehow return to their January form.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
