The Atlanta Hawks will barely be able to snag a playoff spot. Big men Marvin Williams and Al Horford are heavily counted on in the inside. Josh Smith is very athletic, but he needs to work on his jump shot. Joe Johnson is a great player and will lead the team through his scoring, defense, and passing. Mike Bibby will be the veteran of the team and is still a top notch passer, a clutch shooter, and a great perimeter shooter. The Orlando Magic are a lock up for the playoffs led by star big man Dwight Howard. Rashard Lewis nows the offense now and will thrive. Hedo Turkoglu will be solid, but Jameer Nelson must do better. The Miami Heat are on the borderline. Dwayne Wade will play amazing, but it looks like The Matrix will slump. Michael Beastley will be pretty good. Marcus Banks, Shaun Livingston, and Udonis Haslem are not reserves/starters you want. The Charlotte Bobcats are another borderline team. Gerald Wallace is very athletic. Raymond Felton and Emeka Okafor are great, but must play better. J-Rich will be the only sure thing with his explosivness, dunking, defense, and underrated jump shot. Sean May must play better too. The Washington Wizards will just miss the playoffs. Agent Zero will probably miss most of the season. Caron Butler and Antwaan Jamison cannot do it on their own.

I agree with most of this but I must say that I think the Hawk's have a lot of potential now. After giving Boston a run for it's money in the playoffs last season, I think Atlanta now has the confidence to win many big, much needed games.
