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.

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
