I'd love the Hawks chances if they had Josh Smith. But without him, I don't think they can compete with the Celtics.

To be honest, I haven't figured out the weakness of the Hawks yet. Years of lottery picks have given them a very solid team. Only knock has been age but even that seems to be much less of an issue. Lazy defense was another problem of theirs last year which they seem to have resolved.
Even with J Smooth out, they could beat the Celtics if everybody steps up. However, I think it's very unlikely...especially in Boston where they've gotten waxed. And believe me, I'd like nothing better than another Celtics loss.

You and me both. I have to watch this game on mute otherwise i'll kill myself. Watching the Celtics this year just makes me want to kick Joe D for the stupid trade he made.

Maybe DEN will want to trade Chauncey for AI? It would be such a fantastic amazing awesome trade them! We'll even throw in a dinner at a restaurant of their choice and a hooker if necessary.

I fully expect the Hawks to come out of the East this year.

C'mon Hawks show some of that heart.
Good game brewing here, might have to switch over from the Laker blowout game.
Win or lose, if the Hawks hang in there all game, they have to feel good. This is without their best defensive player.

Paul pierce FTW CELTICS UP By 1
Should've trapped Pierce at the end there. Regardless fantastic game by the injury-depleted Hawks. I really hope they meet up in the PO's again this year.

No frontcourt?
Horford's nothing but a squat little foul machine, Pachulia's a bigger ugly foul machine, and Josh Smith is a 3, not a 4, and inefficient wherever.

Agree if williams can step up like that late 3 he hit they would have 3 clutch players (johnson, Bibby and Willams)
They are legit and always play the Lakers tough ...

Horford's an undersized Center and Pachulia does foul alot. However, being as there aren't any great Centers in the East outside of DHo, those two guys are perfectly fine.
Josh Smith would be a 3 in the West but in the East, he's got just enough bulk to be a fast PF. Power Forward would be their problem since they're thin here but since Horford can also play the PF next to Paachulia, it's not much of a problem.
And to round up the Frontcourt, the small forward position is played well by Marvin Williams and Mo Evans.
Hawks won't play well against the 2 huge teams in the West (Lakers, Blazers) but they'll be great out East and against the smaller Western Teams. I would include the Rockets but Rockets are notoriously small after Yao Ming.
Hawks don't have this size "weakness" against most of the NBA teams so I can't really call it a weakness.
