Jesus I never knew you guys were so sensitive, you will win the series in a hard fought 6-7 games if thats what you want to hear

I never said your opinon doesn't matter, just that it doesn't hold too much weight due to the fact that we're rivals.  I'm not sensitive at all for the most part neither of us want to see the other squad succeed. So outside a few of NYK fans I take what they have with a grain of salt.  I mean we have a few of your fans calling us the weakest 60 win team ever besides the Cavs after we won our series and that other 60 win squad is fighting to play another game.  Let alone the fact that the only game we lost a game to them by 1 bucket after being up 17, the other two we won by a combine 50+ points and out rebounded them by +14.5 each game... So yea like I stated it doesn't hold too much weight with me.

The Chicago Bulls are not our rivals, the Boston Celtics are not our rivals, and the Miami Heat are not our rivals. What has happened in the past 10 years does not constitute a rivalry with any team, we are merely just a disorganized team with a couple of stars who hasn't proved anything. See I'm going to be completely 100 with you, I bleed Knick colors and I will always be a fan, regardless if we suck but I am a fan of basketball most of all and from my basketball "perspective" I believe the Hawks will give the Bulls a very difficult series, so difficult that I wouldn't be able to bet on a winner yet.  The Hawks are a very solid team with great pieces and no stand out star, The Bulls are a great defensive team but lack Offensive stride when D Rose isn't carrying the team.  One player cannot carry a team for so long. You can't blame Basketball fans for comparing your team to the Cleveland Cavs, it's honestly a good comparison. On another note don't be stereotypical, I'm a Knicks fan, I'm not responsible for words coming from other NYK fans. I don't hate the Bulls, I completely agree that DRose is the MVP, hands down, you guys have a great team but in my honest "opinion" you guys are not built for a championship yet, some more pieces need to be obtained. I was just frustrated that many of the Bulls fans in this thread are dismissing the Hawks, it's not fair, but who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

anything can happen, look towards the west with SA/MEM

this is gonna be a very interesting series.

Atlanta is nowhere near as good as Memphis is.  That's not even a good comparison.  Josh Smith is going to continue to play like an idiot and shooting jumpers with 18 seconds left on the shot clock.  Bulls in 5.  Atlanta is going to have to play a team that not only actually tries to play defense but is the best in the league on defense.

no where as good as memphis....

 they got their !@* beat by us in the season with a rudy gay...fall back

Whats wrong with being compared to the 60+ win Lebron led Cavs teams ? They played very good defense and was lead by a MVP I see it as a compliment imo

We gotta play better than we did against the Pacers. Im concerned with ATL's athleticism and how Booz is going to look on defense. We can't turn it over like we did in the first series.

Booz needs to step it up, hopefully our bench, outside of Kyle, plays more of a role than they did in the first round

Atl is known for their defense. They got trees: Zaza, Smith, Horford. A bunch of small names who do their job and try to contain the zone. However this is how Chitown got to the first seed in the east. Its gonna be a good series for sure. im excited to see how Atl is gonna be runnin ther offense vs the zone defense of Chicago. Im leanin towards Chicago tho cuz the nba is a league of point gaurds. something Hinrich and the rest of ATL lacks....... See you at the Eastern Finals Chicago.
