    i see wizards taking game 1. I think wall can contain Teague but I don't see anyone containing Milsap or Horford in a 7 game series (maybe gortat)

    Hawks needed a swift kick in the pants. Brooklyn taking 2 games against them should awaken them.

    hawks in 7 because it's so hard to win on the road in a closeout game 6. their lack of a go to scorer will hurt them but budenholzer>>>>>>wittman

    Hawks looked more like themselves in game 6 against the Nets. If they continue playing that way, this thing will be over in 5.

    Priority #1 is getting back on defense against the Wizards and making them beat you in the half-court.

    It's crazy how many Hawks shoot at a high percentage on simple passes and plays. We have to work hard for every single shot, they seem to get everything in rhythm. Hawks might even be able to beat the Bulls or Cavs like this.

    True, Budenholzer implemented the Spurs system in perfect fashion. ECF favourites if they keep this up.

    Let's wait until they face a better defensive team in a best of seven series. So far they underwhelmed against the Nets and are now facing an arguably mediocre Wizards team.
    I still thinks Bulls/Cavs come out of the East.

    I have no respect for the Wizards. Hawks in 5 or 6.

    Wall might have fractured or sprained his wrist.
    Wizards done.

    EDIT: He's back! Looks like it was minor!

    Carroll is a better Ariza and only makes 2.5 a year. Wish the Rockets would've gotten him.

    I know like we also had Ariza before. We chose the wrong former Rocket.
