the 2 vs 4 thing was a reference to the video you showed...come on , most guards in this league would make a power foward look bad going one on one.
anyone think chicago bounces back tonight?

I think they do. But man are the hawks surprising me. I thought they'd get swept by orlando and they somehow beat them. IMO that win over orlando was a bigger upset than memphis over the spurs
Chicago will win that series IMO but it will be much more of a fight than they expect just like the one they had with the Pacers
Chicago is a young team they don't have the aura of invincibility that the Celts and Lakers have yet..
most playoff teams think they can beat them, thats why for a #1 seeded team they are in for a fight.

Agree. Kobe slipped on his own. You don't even see the jersey being stretched out. Oh well they blew a 16 point lead and kobe missed the final shot when it was pretty open.
i think the atl wins the series. i have never felt chicago was a contender..i mean come on, they played a team with a losing record in the first round and every game was close
also, imo, the s.a. upset was bigger then orlando because that's not last year's orlando team. they turned over too much of the team in the trade so you're basically looking at a whole new monster with no track record. plus it was a 4 vs 5, alot closer in win percentage then a 1 vs 8. what memphis did was historical, what atlanta did was the traditional upset
what i like about atlanta is with their new coach they don't just run a bunch of isolation plays. their offense of the last few years was literally based on joe johnson, the freakin iso joe mixed in with jamal crawford isolations

To me orlando is a much better team with jrich. A much stronger team than last year. And the Hawks went into the playoffs this year looking much weaker than last year. I do agree that the new coach has changed things by removing the ISO. But based off of the way it went last year I was really expecting orlando to sweep.
i like the addition of j rich and thought he was a great addition...i thought rashard lewis put up GREAT numbers in the playoffs and hit alot of clutch shots and created mismatches from the power forward position though. i was excited about the trade until i realized lewis was gone too
