They'll split this. The Hawks have a huge athleticism advantage up front and the Cavs have a huge size advantage up front.
First night of a back-to-back with the lid-lifter in Atlanta tonight and the re-match in Cleveland tomorrow night. Hawks are 21-8, their best start since the 1993-94 season, and are second in the NBA to Boston in point differential at +8.0. Cavaliers have won four straight and nine of ten and are a healthy 12-6 on the road.
Big statement game for both teams- particularly Atlanta, which trails Orlando by a half-game in the Southeast and went 1-7 against the Cavaliers last year in the regular season and playoffs. Including last year's second round series, the Hawks have lost six straight in Cleveland dating back to 2006. So this is the one they've got to get.

good game. Think cavs will pull this out. I am still hesitating to get on ATL's bandwagon. If they keep up the impressive wins though, consider me a sell out.
Bold prediction, Atlanta wins both.
I think this will be a close game and in 4th quarter any one can get the W
crawford will go nuts and they will run
Crawford has been a thorn in the side of the Cavaliers for a long time. I checked his splits on BR and was surprised to see he was averaging only 15.7 PPG against Cleveland for his career. Seems like it should be a lot higher than that. He had some huge games against the Cavaliers when he was in New York.
Hopefully Delonte won't be having one of his "bad days." He'll need to do a job on Crawford.
Both teams are playing well. This is a good match up and it is crazy to see how now with Shaq in there, how the match up between the two teams has changed.
Cavs have weathered the first quarter storm and have control of the game. Looking like the Lakers game, only closer.
It seems like the crowd is affecting lebron too many turnovers on cavs side
There is 3:20 left in the 4th and the Hawks still haven't scored a single point.
Delonte West had an awesome fast break dunk on Josh Smith (trying to block it).
Game over. Epic choke for the Hawks in the 4th. James played great defence on JJ.
LeBron couldn't hit water out of the side of a boat tonight but did a lot of other things well.
I love Delonte West more than any man should love a bi-polar, heavily tattooed combo-guard.
And Jamal Crawford makes me very nervous.
Again Cavs are losing at the start of the game only now by more points.
Dang LeBron is playing great but Hawks are playin better.
Cavs going on a run. One or two more stops and scores could make this very interesting.
