Re: Which playoff opponent do Hawks want to face most?
I know the Knicks swept us in all 3 matchups, but I'm confident we can win the series under Nate. They haven't faced our full complement of the playoff roster for a full 48 minutes in any of the 3 matchups and under Coach Nate:
Starters: Trae, Bogi, Hunter/Snell Collins, Capela
Bench: Lou, Huerter, Snell/Hunter, Gallo and Okongwu. Solo will be the 'break glass in case of emergency' guy.
Game #1 (No.7): No Gallo, Snell, OO, Rondo, Bogi off the bench and took only 3 shots, coached by LP (where losing 4th quarter leads was common place)
Game #2 (No. 27): No Bogi, Hunter, Snell, Rondo, OO was playing his 9th game, coached by LP.
Game #3 (No 59): No Snell, Gallo, Hunter, Trae in game injury (Hawks were leading by 9 at the time), Collins on minutes restriction and so didn't play in OT.
Randle will be a load and I expect him to get his. Derrick Rose off the bench is the x-factor to me, we have to find a way to contain him.

It's a good point. Knicks haven't seen the whole team in either of those. I expect a good (and tight) series honestly.

The matchup I wanted. Guwop, Quavo, and Spike Lee with frontcourt seats. The tomfoolery will occur all throughout the series. I only worry about Randle and that's it.
Nobody can stop him but he can't stop Collins either. Rose can get off but the team has just about all the top defenders back healthy for the 2nd unit.

This is the matchup where I'd have preferred to have Rondo instead Lou, but at the time of the trade, we were far to have an almost roster. Hope everybody (except Cam certainly) can play and stay healthy.
