Id be surprised if the Wizards didnt win..though atl is the one seed. Its a question of match ups. Nene and Gortat are a better front court than Al and Millsap, though both are good. Wall and Beal are a better back court than Teague and whoever. Korver will keep ATL competitive, but P.Pierce has something left in the tank too. Its a good series though, maybe as good as cavs bulls. But, Nene and Gortat will out bang Millsap and Al..both are a bit undersized. And Teague cant keep up with Wall at the end of the day, let alone him and Beal.
The Wiz does have more height in their front court but I do think that ATL and WAS are even because I feel that Milsap and Horford can drive on Nene and Gortat regularly....but it depends on if the jumper's falling. Don't forget, Milsap is a respectable 3 point shooter too.

Youre right that they are the more skilled players, Id think. But you cant teach size.
Game 3 should be fun.
Interesting. So, you would just let Al and Paul hit open J's? Korver really hasn't been carrying the Hawks in the playoffs, DeMare Carroll has been consistent. The Hawks lost a double digit lead in the first game and shot like 16% in the 4th Q....only losing by 6. I can see ATL winning in 6.
Cavs running the Bulls out of the gym early in Game 1; Shumpert is playing with a tremendous amount of confidence. If Cleveland can survive these first two games 1-1 and get Smith back for Game 3, I think Chicago is in trouble.
Just turned off the Bulls Game, series is tied 1-1 lol
The game is too long for that sentiment.
