I think both Atlanta and Miami wouldn't have a single chance against the Cavs and it's all about their defense... I expect the Cavs in 5 and, unfortunately, they go to the ECF having played 9 EASY games!! This year's No.1 seed is such an advantage... >:(

I say 5.  If Marvin Williams were healthy I'd have said 7, with home team winning all the games.  M. Williams isn't the second coming, but he helps make that thing Atlanta does work.

I think Atlanta has a very good chance of beating the cavs. They match really well on defense and they have in my opinion better offensive options.
the problem for me is that they dont have the offensive discipline. They should be taking the ball in the post every single time and put pressure on ilgaskas.
Im actually more worried about us facing the hawks than the cavs. The series against miami should have never gone to 7. just like our series with chicago. If Atlanta play up to their potential they can win it all!

TP. I live in Atlanta and see many of the games and couldnt have said it better myself, going to game 3 here in atl, the highlight factory as we call it down here on a Sat night in atl is gonna be a huge home court advantage

Cleveland in 5! Lebron is the best player on the planet and after this years playoffs there will be very few doubters about that. I still think if we were completely healthy the C's would win the title but at this point those days are long gone.

I can't see the Lebron's dropping a game this series. Even if Josh Smith does a good job on Lebron and contains his game somewhat, I still see big Z torching the hawks inside and Mo Williams destroying Bibby.

Good to know I'm not alone down here in Hotlanta - hi Redvision!  Atlanta does come up with some gritty performances at home, don't they?

You never know when Joe Johnson will shoot the lights out.

You also never know when Mo Williams will go 1 for 11.

Sweep -- if Marvin isn't healthy enough to defend LeBron well, and do it for 35-40 minutes, I don't expect Atlanta to win a game.

Without Marvin Williams, Atlanta doesn't have a chance.
