    Chicago will be getting a lot of rest before having to deal with a battered up Celtics/Heat team.

    If hinrich is healthy and available to play, I'd expect the Hawks to put up a decent fight and win atleast 2 games and ultimately losing in game 6 or 7.

    If not, I'd still expect the series to be hard fought, but instead of 6 or 7 will result in the bulls winning in 5 or 6 highly competitive games, much like the pacer series.

    I have a gut feeling it will be like the Indiana series all over again which will work in Atlanta's favor. Bulls have problem with big athletic team like Indy and Boozer has been sucking badly. No more lucky break for Chicago, Atlanta in 5 or 6.

    Hinrich needs to be healthy for this to be a series.

    Indy had a better match up against Chicago, but they don't have the playoff grind the Hawks have. The Bulls should have this one easy. I said in 6, but their wins will be bigger and loses will be close.

    I'm taking Chicago in 5. But what do I know? I didn't think the Hawks had a chance against the Magic.

    Boozer to the Bulls is what Hedo is to the Magic.

    If they play well, the team will most likely win.

    Agree with you. Plus, the Hawks stale isolation offense will play right into the hands of the Bulls defense.

    how are the hawks planning on scoring in this series? from what i can tell their offense sucks (at least the system does) and the bulls play good defense. along with boozer sucking, one reason the pacers seemed to hang around is they had enough guys who could hit jumpers and collison had the speed to get inside and get his own shot. if granger had trouble getting open against deng, i don't see joe johnson doing any better. crawford better start practicing the lucky bank shot because otherwise i'm not seeing atlanta having much of a chance. and atlanta isn't exactly known for its fighting spirit when things aren't going well. the pacers seemed to shake things off and keep charging.

    I want Chicago to win because Hawks have an overpaid loser (Joe Johnson).
