Hawks match up well against Pacers. I would pick any other east playoff team against hawks, but against pacers I actually give the hawks a chance. Hawks in 6.

If we can break the funk at the Philips Arena than it will be 5 or 6.

Not quite true. We beat them in Atlanta in Game 6 last year. Also had a regular season win against them in Feb just 2 months ago, but that was with Antic injured.

"Bogey team" just about sums it up though.

Ya'll struggled badly with shooting in that game 6 though. The problem was we were even worse at shooting in game 6. What an ugly game that was. A final score of 81-73 and a total of 25 points scored in the 2nd quarter. We combined for 6/34 from 3 and we shot 33% from the field. Yuck.

We won't be trodding out a lineup with Josh Smith and Johan Petro this year so I expect our shooting to be more consistent this go around.

Indy in 6.

Considering how weak the East supposedly is, there's no reason for the Pacers to lose this series, especially if they're truly a team capable of taking on the Heat, bad matchup or not. Pacers in 6 for me.

I still see the Pacers winning this series, but I'm really not pumped that we got the Hawks. The last thing we need is Hibbert being less focused because he's ineffective against Antic and PG running around chasing Korver for a whole round.

pacers in 7

Pacers in 5. I still think, despite their absurdly awful play of the last months, they will get their **** together to at least get to the ECF comfortably.

In the East, not that much of a challenge.

If the Pacers can't roll us, they should just give up any title aspirations they have

They real question is in which round will C.J. Watson eliminate Indy?

If the NBA playoffs were decided by 1 game and not 7, the Hawks could win. They just beat us by 30 a week or so ago, but that's not gonna happen in a 7 game playoff series. Pacers in 5.

If the Hawks had Horford, I would have picked them.

I'd be THRILLED if the Hawks pulled off the upset though.

Pacers sweep, hawks shouldn't be in the playoffs.

We've dealt with injuries all year but have played above .500 when we are healthy. 10-2 in our last 12 when our current starting 5 all play.
