-----------------------------------

Dwight Howard always has his best games against his hometown's basketball team, this series should be no different. I like Orlando in 5.

[HeatCheck]

Magic in 7

[Kakarot]

I would like to change my vote to Atlanta.

This series can go either way...I feel both teams are evenly matched. In the end, I think my boy Joe Johnson wills the ATLiens to a series victory. Hawkies in 6

[Sapper]

How are the Hawks not at the top of the EC standings? Their front 6 is frighteningly good.

[Millions]

Aggie is right this series could go either way I am going with the Hawks in 7.

[Panthers128]

This is why you don't double team Dwight Howard.

[Zaximus]

Good job Hawks. Howard fouling again, if he could get that under control, wow. I want the Hawks to win, still hate the Magic from last year.
