The Nets gave the Hawks fits and the one issue I have with Atlanta is they are not big in the paint. The Nets must go to Brooks Lopez early and often and get "Points in the Paint" opening up lanes for both Joe Johnson and Deron Williams among others.

Hawk All-Star Al Horford dislocated a finger in game 1 as  he was complaining about his shooting was off after that. This would be something to watch in game 2 as the Hawks get a tough match up with Brooklyn night and day not knowing what team will show up from the Barclays!

The Grizz just put it on the Blazers in game 1 not to mention the L-Train did get 32 points on 34 shots. Rip City All-Star PG Dame Lillard was clearly outplayed by Mike Conley Jr. and that cannot happen for Rip City to have any chance of beating the Grizz.

How do the Blazers counter the Grizz going to Marc Gasol and Z-Bo in game 2. Will Lillard and Aldridge get help as they need another scorer for the Blazers to pull out a game 2 "W"? Stotts vs Joerger will be interesting in this one as the Grizz hold all the cards right now and its the Blazers turn to get it right and play Rip City playoff-inspired hoop! As it looks this is a bad match up for the Blazers who are banged up and without Wes Matthews Jr..
