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

From MJ vs. Nique to Rose vs. Smith. This one is a nice matchup featuring the league MVP Derrick Rose. I doubted the Hawks in Rd 1, and they smashed Orlando, finally getting that monkey off their back. So surprisingly I'm gonna take the Hawks in 6 this series. I love Rose and think he's had a phenomenal year, but I think the Hawks beat them.

W/ Hinrich - Hawks in 6

W/Out Hinrich = Bulls in 5

Totally different team w/out Kirk. It showed on Thursday when he went out, the Hawks tried to throw that game away but barley held on.

Voted for the Hawks, cuz I want them to win. But sounds like Hinrich is out. Hawks NEED to take 1 of the first 2.

ATLANTA (AP)—Jeff Teague, it’s time to shine.

All he’ll have to do is hold his own against the NBA’s expected MVP, the guy who led the Chicago Bulls to more wins than any other team.

“It’s a tough situation,” Teague said Saturday, sitting at his locker after a lengthy practice with the Atlanta Hawks. “But these are the kind of moments you live for.”

The second-year guard is expected to take on a key role in the Eastern Conference semifinals after Kirk Hinrich went down in the closing minutes of a series-clinching win over Orlando with a severely strained hamstring.

Hinrich is unlikely to play in this round, meaning the Hawks have got to find a point guard who can run the offense and, most important, give Chicago star Derrick Rose some problems at the defensive end.

I updated the Hawks starting lineup above.

    • We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
    • I said years ago that RBA was another Rivera. 
    • Honestly, for me, I actually don't care all that much about being the 1st overall pick and him living up to that selection. It's the trade we made to go get him that he has to live up to for me.   You can't be even just an average starting QB after a trade like that, because if that's all we're getting out of it, we could have kept going with journeyman type of QB's or taken a shot on a Jalen Milroe type in the 2nd to get similar play but then have kept Moore and all those other draft picks to build around them.
