If that's what happens at minimum.

I mean, really they should be thinking conference finals at minimum.

Anything else should feel unsatisfying to them, but realistically where they ended up in a regular season, you know, maybe, maybe second round is where it's going to end.

But they should be thinking conference finals, finals.

And in their own house, they should feel, I think, really unfulfilled if they don't get that far.

But I think the rest of us are looking at them a little bit differently.

Maybe second round will be their ceiling.

I would be very surprised if those two teams played if Atlanta didn't win at least two games in that series.

Yeah.

So we both think seven.

I wouldn't be totally shocked if it went seven.

They're going to win at least two games, I believe.

And maybe one of those games, Cleveland, their offense, because they can do this to people, catch fire and they get one 18-20 point win.

Yeah.

But I think the other ones are going to have very meaningful fourth quarter possessions.

Because I was just, the CJ McCollum effect is a real thing for them.

They needed somebody like that with a lot of playoff experience, handling the ball in big moments, organizing them, running a ball screen set or getting into an ISO late in the clock and getting something quality.

They needed that to go around some of these younger guys that they're playing and that they've seen grow.

They're there.

They get up and down the floor.
