Will Cleveland sweep the Hawks? Can OKC muster one win against SA?

LeBron's teams have been known to lose a game 1 against less talented opponents before, only to win the next 4. You could argue that this Cavs team is playing just as well as anyone in the league right now.

OKC got absolutely blasted in game 1. I don't see much changing. I have not been a believer in OKC all year because of their lack of teamwork and lack of defense.

OKC won't get swept just because there will be a game Westbrook and Durant go crazy. Cavs barely swept Detroit so I doubt they sweep Atlanta.

Unless the ATL players start dropping like flies like they did last year against Cleveland, the Hawks aren't getting swept.

Cavs in 6.

I'd love if they did, but Spurs won't sweep OKC. I've been watching long enough to not overreact by an early blowout game.

I still say Spurs in 6.

I don't think we'll have any sweeps from here on out. The SA series is the only one I predict will be settled in five games.

I know for a fact the Hawks won't win more than one game because I have lived in Atlanta for 30 years, and that is just how it is.

Tell me about it.

If I am being realistic, I think it is more likely the Hawks get swept than not.

I agree.

If they could have gotten the 3 seed, they might have had a chance at the eastern finals, but in general I am not disappointed.
I think they have done exactly what their talent level dictates.

Sticking with Spurs in 6. Have definitely seen OKC respond well to getting waxed by SA in the playoffs before.

I don't see either team getting more than one win in their respective series. I lean more towards Hawks getting swept than the Thunder.

My money is on Cle-Atl going 6.

SA-OKC going 5.

San Antonio will have a game where they're cold from mid range.

Maybe. The thing is, the vast majority of the shots the spurs took were assisted and wide open shots. The thunder were horrid in defending the pick and roll. I don't think that the spurs will shoot 70% for a half again, but I don't think they will shoot less than 45-50% if they keep getting looks like that. So it depends what defensive adjustments the Thunder make.
