Playoff Wins Prediction

I thought it'd be fun to do one of these on each board. Please provide your response/summary below if you wish to be included in the contest.
I don't see the Hawks getting out of the first round this year as Cha, Ind, and Det have surpassed them in my estimation. I think the Teague loss hurts them a good deal and Howard is a large injury risk. I think they can get a few wins against most higher seeded teams but the risk of squaring off with Cleveland, getting thumped by toro or bos, or the chances of Howard/Korver injuries is higher than them having a strong outing IMO.
I took the under. Quite the dropoff from their amazing 60 win season two years ago but this team got old quickly.
