All the games are very loseable. The Nets game worries me, cuz I know Devin Harris will have a field day. Yao should dominate us with our small Frontcourt but im sure Al will step up to the challenge as usual. We could also win all 5 games. I predict 4 wins with the one loss coming to the Magic at home.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

I think we got a good chance against the Pacers, Rocket, Magic. The Nuggets and the Nets seem to be too much to handle. Anyway, I'd be glad if we can win a couple and compete. Solid playoff teams do not get down by 20 to the Pacers or Nets, that's why I hope we find some strenght to keep ourselves in games.
GO HAWKS.

Being the pessimist that I am, I'd say it's 1-4 with the only win against the visiting Nuggets.

The matchup with Indiana and New Jersey scares me the most. Indiana really has our number these past years and Devin Harris will run all over Bibby.

Orlando does not scare me at all despite the record. They are still the same soft 3pt shooting team to me with a slightly improved Jameer Nelson. I'd say we have a good chance to take that one.

I'd say 2-3

Denver - W
Indiana - L
New Jersey - L
Houston - L

I feel that this team should beat anyone at home and that definetely includes good teams like Houston and Orlando.

But I'm like you guys. It's hard to be positive when so many bad things have happened to this franchise (many of htem being self inflicted). For now I'm just enjoying the ride, and hopefully we have a good team on our hands come the playoffs.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
