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.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
