Looks great ABCS, I was shocked at this spread. That Hawks matchup really well against this team. They won 3/4 last year. I'm not too worried about Dwight Howard either, relative to most people who assume he's just gonna go off for 25/20 against the undersized Hawks team. I think Horford will do as good a job as anyone, he can't score outside of 5ft from the basket, so it's all about denying him the ball. So a smaller, athletic guy is actually more desirable than some huge, shot blocking type center. Look what he did against the Hawks last year, he didn't break 20pts or have more than 11rebs in any game ... and that was against Zaza ... Smith's help defense is obviously big too. Smith should do a decent job on Rashard Lewis, Marvin should completely own Turkoglu the way he's been playing on defense, JJ will own anyone, and both teams PG situation isn't soo hot.
I know it seems like I'm always on the Hawks, but this is special. I would have made my own thread if no one was on this. BOL man, I'd throw a little on the ML. I think it's gonna be a toss up, but this is absolutely the Hawks biggest game of the season, I'm sure Orlando isn't giving the same respect to ATL.
