Rondo makes Boston tougher to guard though.

**jlgarciaiii22** · 05-02-10, 08:20 PM

Atlanta Hawks got my vote also...

I guess but atlanta owned boston all year. Hawks would beat Boston in 6 games in a series. Orlando should beat Atlanta in 5 or 6 games but weirder things have happened.

**tealish** · 05-02-10, 09:09 PM

I would take Hawks over Suns in a 7 game series.

**eatdust11** · 05-02-10, 09:38 PM

The Hawks are a tough team to read....they sure are bad on the road though.

**ngates815** · 05-02-10, 09:40 PM

I'd say the Hawks...

**woody78** · 05-02-10, 09:44 PM

Hawks for me too.

ATL lost a game that they had a 9 point lead with 4 minutes left in the 4thQtr. @ Home.

It takes a special kind of team to accomplish that feat.

Boston took care of the Heat, when everyone counted them out. Or at least me, and looked superior in doing it.

Are the Cavs better than the Lakers? Cavs 2-0 during the season against Lakers.

**squintz4** · 05-02-10, 10:17 PM

I also say the Hawks.

**SportsTerminator** · 05-02-10, 11:01 PM

I'd say the Phoenix Suns is the worst team left in the playoffs. They are highly overrated. The other teams in the playoffs would beat the Suns in a 7 game series. And no wayyyy the Suns will beat the Spurs in that series.

**lakerboy** · 05-02-10, 11:30 PM

Yes houli the cavs are better than the lakers just like lakers were better than cavs last year when the lakers went 2-0 over cavs.

**jboy4** · 05-02-10, 11:32 PM

I say the Jazz.

**cecbo** · 05-02-10, 11:39 PM

Suns, Celtics, Hawks...in that order.

I dont agree with that either. I like the Lakers in a 7 game series. Dont ask me why, but I like them.

**JDUB07** · 05-02-10, 11:57 PM

I don't know about the Hawks. They can get hot with guys like Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford lighting it up. I don't think there is a clear cut worst team left.

**Congruency** · 05-03-10, 12:24 AM

id take the hawks over the C's, but its close

utah without kirilenko and okur might be an argument, but they have looked pretty impressive (albeit against a dead nuggets team)

**Goat Milk** · 05-03-10, 12:34 AM

Jazz are the worst team left in the playoffs by far. They can't play defense for shit and they offense is based entirely on the performance of one guy. He creates everything for that team. D will is yet to have a bad or even average (18 and 10 dime) game in the playoffs. What's going to happen to the Jazz when Will puts up 17 and 9?

You expected the Heat to beat Boston? The Heat are a joke, Wade can't carry those losers forever. Cavs are going to struggle to guard Ray Allen all series. They'll have no answer for him. They're going to try rotos of West, Williams, Parker, Moon on him, none of them will work. Cavs in 6

ATL are streaky players, they have a great defensive talent, a top 6 center, a top 12 player in the world, and the best bench player in the league. They're taking Orlando to 6.

**thirtytwo** · 05-03-10, 12:46 AM

Its the Hawks, I agree. Joe Joehnson is a bum. I hope he gets signed by clippers....

**Wilforth** · 05-03-10, 12:47 AM

Hawks.

Celtics are still slightly better than the Hawks.

**dynamite140** · 05-03-10, 01:15 AM

magic.

**dynamite140** · 05-03-10, 01:15 AM

hawks have the best depth in the league

**tatommack** · 05-03-10, 01:20 AM

Yep agree orlando should sweep

**jgiun1** · 05-03-10, 01:21 AM

Hawks, Celtics, Spurs, Jazz, Suns

**THEGREAT30** · 05-03-10, 01:24 AM

I would take Atl over Boston, Phoenix, Utah and maybe even the Spurs in a 7 game series, sorry but anyone making the claim that its obvious or not even close I don't buy it, and FYI, its going 6 or 7 between Magic and Hawks.

IMO, its between Phoenix and Utah because they both can only play one way. Utah cant play defense enough to win anything other than 100 -105 games and Phoenix has Nash who has choked probably more than anyone in recent history. The guy has played with Shaq,Dirk, and now Amare and has never won anything.

**wrongturn** · 05-03-10, 08:32 AM

Hawks wins this award

**HoulihansTX** · 05-05-10, 12:49 AM

ATL Hawks and is not even close. This team will struggle to score against the Magic, since all of their offensive sets are based on Isolation plays. They will settle for jumpers, and they will ignore their coach in crunch time. I wont lay another bet on them until game 3. On the road @Orlando, they are toast.

ATL is garbage

**Preston09** · 05-05-10, 12:58 AM

I wonder how everyone feels about the Hawks now?

**Preston09** · 05-05-10, 12:59 AM

Struggled in the first series and get blown out in game one of the next series. Definatley not better than the Celtics.

**Donkwin47** · 05-05-10, 12:59 AM

Hawks are definitely not the worst remaining team..
