[Huber.]

Who would make an easier series and why?

 

[Ohio]

Who would make an easier series and why?

Hawks because their players aren't dirtbags.

 

[MirORich]

Celtics series would be tougher, whether we sweep them or they win a game or two.

Atlanta might win a game against us but we can break their wills and have several games with double digit rebounding margins.

Either way it'll be fun to knock either of these chumps out of the playoffs for the second straight year.

 

[Nphan]

I'll take the Hawks because they won't try to intentionally injure any of our players.

If Bos/ATL goes 7 what's the lastest round 2 could start?

 

[Walter White]

Hawks have more talent theoretically, but I think they would be an easier opponent. Especially for LeBron, statistically and physically. But we should sweep either, or go 5 games tops, but I say sweep.

If Bos/ATL goes 7 what's the lastest round 2 could start?

Monday. A potential Hawks/Celtics Game 7 plays on Saturday.

Am I wrong to want Boston?

Want to kick that tomato can down the road.

I especially want Boston so the Cavs can lay waste to them and we can all lap up Bill Simmons tears.

I'm so tired of that dude and his hot Cavs takes. He even laughably tried to say he'd rank the Clippers above the Cavs so far this post season in his last podcast.

Oh Bill, you mean the same team we wiped the floor with twice this year? Ok buddy.

Just imagine the Olynyk boos in a playoff game in Cleveland.

Ahhh...heading into round 2 fully healthy and with no one suspended feels so good...same thing I said about round 1, I don't care who it is we end up facing, they are going to get buttfucked.

 

[Rich]

Boston is the less talented and easier to guard team.

The Hawks didn't have Thabo last year, and more importantly, Millsap was hurt. We'd be facing a different player this year and he's so, so much better than anyone the Celtics can trot out.

We'd beat either team, but Boston provides about zero matchup problems. The Hawks provide a couple.

 

[Walter White]

The thing is, Marcus Smart is playing out of his mind right now. I would imagine he comes back to earth soon. If Avery Bradley was healthy, Celtics probably beat Hawks in 5. Which I think Bradley would be ready for 2nd round. I mean, both teams aren't that good, but my point is that Hawks are worse. Korver has been ice cold shooting too, but he magically would probably be lights out against us.

Monday. A potential Hawks/Celtics Game 7 plays on Saturday.

Yep. I guess theoretically it could be Thursday but most likely Monday.

If it goes 6 games, I assume there series would start on Sunday

Yeah but Boston is really banged up.

Olynik has a bad shoulder, Avery has a bad hammy, Crowder's knee isn't right and Shumpert owns Thomas.

I'd much rather kick around Boston. I think it doesn't really matter but Atlanta is a little feistier and has a healthy team.
