Hawks toughest matchup...

[Diesel]

My experience watching the NBA tells me that tough matchups are usually those teams that are very similar to your.... Like Detroit/Chicago... LAL/Celtics... and even LAL/Utah (Shaqfu vs. Mailman).

However, our toughest matchup is not Sacramento... They're just better.

BUT

New Orleans. We are the mirror imagine of them.

Davis - JT

Wesley -Newble

Mash - Big Dog

PJ - Shareef

Elden - Theo.

Magloire - Nazr

Alexander - Glover

Lynch - Ham

Where we have an advantage with SAR, they have one with Wesley. I think all yr long this will be our rival. Might as well make it like the Falcons and Saints.

In the West, our match is ......

Probably Seattle.

I think if JT's cuts down on his TO's and

puts up the numbers he has then he and Baron

are a toss up...Barons jumper is even more in-

consisant than JT's.

I think newble has a chance to hold David to

10 points and get 10 points of his own...

Mash vs. Big Dog is close...Mash is a better allround

player, but Big Dog is alot more consisant shooter.But

guys like Jalen Rose and Jamal Mashburn always gives

us problems.Ever notice that?

I have to agree with in you....In the west I think the

Suns will be a rival for us...

JT vs. Marbury

Newble vs. Joe Johnson(although this guy hasn't impressed me)

Big Dog vs. Shawn Marion

Shareef vs. Amare Stoudamire

Theo Ratliff vs. Big Jake

Ham vs. Bo Outlaw

Dion Glover vs. Penny

Hendu vs. Googs

I would put Ira on Marion and let Dog guard Johnson...no need tiring Dog out on the defensive end.

Wouldn't you give us a advantage with Theo over Campbell if he stays healthy. Also don't forget Hendu and Crawford for bench depth.

I would like to say i have followed this board for sometime and have enjoyed it. I am happy to be able to findly join in.

i played this game for SNES a while back... and in the game, it told us the RIVALS for each and every team...

they said that the RIVALS for ATL HAWKS = CHARLOTTE HORNETS...

i would love for us to create some noise against the HORNETS and have a rivalry going (like the NY/MIAMI back in the day).

that be FUN!!!!

we match-up pretty evenly against them IMO.

1)Davis/Terry = on any given night, one can dominate the other. i say they even,

2)Wesley/Newble- Wesleys offense is good, but so is Newbles DEFENSE! i say they even,

3)Mash/BigDog - if Big Dog keeps it up, theres NO COMPETITION here... big dog! if he plays like he did in MIL (which is good, but not as good)... they even

4)Brown/Abdur-Rahim- While i think Brown is very underrated, Abdur-Rahim is an ALLSTAR!

5)Elden/Ratliff- wheres ELDEN??? i read some box scores on NO Hornets, and they have MAGLOIRE starting.... but if Eldens still there, i think its a slight edge on RATLIFF.

Magloire = combo of Hendo/Mohammed

Alexander = Glover

Lynch = Ham

Coach = Silas is pretty good... got to give him that!

I'd say out of 10 games, we should have 5 against them!
