Atlanta Hawks will be huge this season

[coined]

Dwight Howard. The Tristan Thompson offensive rebound problem solved.
The Hawks will matchup better against Cavs, Howards owns the Cavs since Orlando days

[coined]

60 win team in 2014 - 2015, 48 win team in 2015 - 2016 adding Howard?
Shit just got real.

Yea but Atlanta lost their starting PG, Schroder imo is not better than Teague and they not do not have an adequate bench PG. Also Al Horford is as good as gone.

[Lebron23]

They are going to be the Cavaliers biggest test so far this season. Cavs needs to play better defense if they want to beat them.

Yo cavs, they easy. We beat them on a b2b lol.

I hope so. Cavs are not even a top 10 defensive team this season. Although they are the no.1 3 points shooting team in the NBA, and the best offensive team in the NBA.

Cavs will go back to being top 10 in PS when Lebron is going all in, I don't see that as a worry for Cav fans.

Well, so far Schroder has put up similar numbers to Teague's best season averages and he's at least a better defender than Teague ever was.

I think Schroder might grow into his new role as starting PG and surprise a lot of people.

[NBAGOAT]

their defense is going be elite with Howard/Millsap. I'm predicting best in the league actually. Their great system will make sure they're decent on offense but they don't have the talent to be great on that end(Millsap is likely their best offensive player which is def not good enough). Taking 2 games off the Cavs like the raptors did last year would be a great accomplishment for them.

I'm not worried. Schroder is great but he was a great weapon off the bench. Teague is gone with no replacement. Howard n Horford might as well be a wash. Howard is nowhere near superman anymore when he was once considered a top mvp candidate in the league.

Dwight right now is still on a different tier than Horford, and this is coming from a Laker fan that really dislikes Dwight.

Kyle Korver and Bazemore can't stop Lebron James in a 7 game series. Not possible. They won't get swept like last time but it won't take much for ATL to crack under pressure. Glaring weakness on the wings. Rudy Gay could be cheap around the deadline. He'd fit in this team athletically speaking.

Chicago matchs up well with Wade and Butler. Robin Lopez and Taj Gibson won't be holding off Love and TT. Rondo is a playoff monster tho he'll be the x-factor for the Bulls.

Indiana could be dangerous if Big Al starts playing like himself. Myles Turner and Paul George if they start clicking they'll take any team in the NBA to 7 games. Matter of chemistry and time.

[ShawkFactory]

We really need Korver to have one last good season. He looks like he's really slowed down and he was such a huge part of that 60 win season.

We need him to be a guy that defenses game plan for again, but it looks like those days might be gone.
