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.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
