Hawks in 7, IMO. If they had gotten Al Horford back, this would have been a sure thing.

The Hawks will never get anywhere with that roster. I'd expect this series to be over in 5 regardless of who has HCA, and I wouldn't be surprised if the C's swept.

What?

The Hawks are decent at best. The Celtics at full strength are close to being a title contender.

Rondo/Dooling
Bradley/Allen
Pierce/Pietrus
Bass/Wilcox
Garnett/Stiemsma

Look how nicely put together that team is.

The Hawks actually give McGrady minutes, of course they're going to lose.
But do you know what they call a fool, who's full of himself and jumps into the path of death because it's cool?

Celtics are a great team, but I can see the Hawks pulling it out. Never thought they'd beat the Magic last year, either.

Celtics in 6. Doesn't matter that much who has hc Atlanta has no fans. C's backups nearly beat them last week.

Boston in 6 games.... Atlanta just doesn't seem to have a consistent edge, but they are pretty deep and talented
