NBA Playoffs Hawks Vs Bucks: High Flying Hawks Will Bash Bucks

East Playoff Preview: Series and Game One Prediction
#3 Atlanta Hawks Vs #6 Milwaukee Bucks
Current Line for Game 1: Hawks -8.5 /186

Hawks: The Hawks have had a season with plenty of highs and lows.Ā  They have fought to go to the head of the class in the East and are to be considered a serious contender.Ā  They have played well against Boston but struggled against other elite teams in the East at times due to lack of focus or intensity on defense.Ā  Joe Johnson is just one of the many scoring threats on this team and if they can concentrate on playing defense they may make a run at the finals in the East.

Bucks: The Bucks came out of nowhere this season to make the playoffs. They started off very slow but it was evident early that rookie Brandon Jennings was going to be a superstar in this league.Ā  The pivotal move for this team may have been when they traded with the Chicago Bulls and acquired John Salmons. His impact was felt immediately and that lead to a winning streak that ultimately propelled them into the playoffs. The next step is to see if they can advance against the Hawks.

Series and Game One Prediction:

Series: If the Bucks were healthy they could put up a real fight against the Hawks.Ā  The problem is without Andrew Bogut they are missing a scorer on the inside that can also play some solid defense.Ā  The Bucks will be limited to outside shooting and that plays right into the strength of the Hawks.Ā  The Hawks are known to play loose with a lead so this could go six games but in the end the Hawks advance to the next round. See Bet Phoenix for the latest odds on the series between the Hawks and the Bucks.

Game One: Bet Phoenix has the Hawks listed as 8.5 point favorites over the Bucks.Ā  The Hawks are focused for game one and eager to prove that they can go deep in the playoffs.Ā  This game will be fast paced and that is not a tempo the Bucks will be able to sustain. The Hawks on the other hand, live for this type of game and it will show when they easily defeat the Bucks by double digits in game one of this series. Ā  Bet on the Hawks in Game One!
