Cleveland fan here.
Beside the fact that the Cavs will have home-court advantage in round #2, I have other reasons for rooting for Atlanta: Although I have never been a fan of the Hawks, their improbable run in this series has turned it into the most intriguing series of the first round - That's saying a lot coming from a Cleveland fan, who just watched a trash-talk filled series vs Washington! NOBODY believed Atlanta had ANY kind of chance, except the Hawks' players! I salute them. And although I can not find a way to pick the Hawks to win this game today, I will root for them anyway.
Atlanta doesn't need to win this game; they have already SHOCKED the NBA world!
