The Grizzlies, Hawks, and Bobcats are good teams this year

The bobcats are in the worst place possible, mediocrity. They might be good enough to make the playoffs, but the don't have the talent to get anywhere.

 

I'll take that one step further and say that they can win a series over any team in the league, including those two. Is better than 50-50? No, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. The Hawks have good enough athletes to hang with the other team's best wing player on defense and I think Horford and J Smith are a very underrated 4-5 duo. Crawford has done wonders for them off the bench this year too, which means less of Mike Bibby (usually a good thing at this point in his career). And who doesn't wish that Joe Johnson were a Rocket? I like that team a lot.
