Playoff Game #2: Hawks at Cavs

Really, do the Hawks stand a chance? In this series, all you need to say is LeBron. Still, it is time to evaluate the Hawks to see if they can pull one win in this series.

Hawks won 19 games less than the Cavs during the regular season. They are without their top rebounder from the regular season, which, if they are to upset the Cavs on any level, it would take a step up on defense and key offensive awareness. Joe Johnson is the teams leading scorer and also leads the team with 5.8 assists in the regular season. Josh Smith will have to step up his rebounding if the Hawks are going to complete.

Case in point, the Hawks just aren't going to match up against the Cavs.

Forecast: It would simply be foolish to pick the Hawks in any game in this series, unless they start showing up gumph and gusto. Cavs win this one, 112-81.
