Even though it's not really smart to predict anything in a duel between the two leading teams, I think the Hawks are a bit underestimated here. True, the Warriors dominate at home, but I think the Hawks have enough quality to celebrate even tonight. Coach Budenholzer's team did it a month and a half ago at home. Golden State won't be able to count on Thompson this time, and he created the most problems for Millsap and his team. This will allow the Hawks to give a bit more time to Curry. With Curry covered, the Warriors offense will be quite weakened. On the other hand, coach Bud won't be able to rely on Korver, but I think Thompson's absence is a much bigger handicap for the Warriors than Korver's for Atlanta. True, Kyle often decided the games with his series of three-pointers, but Atlanta showed they play the system, and not rely on individuals. Korver's absence should be covered by Bazermore and Schroder. The latter one showed a huge potential. Either way, I think that the Hawks have enough quality in Teague, Millsap, Carroll and the well-rested Horford, and they will seriously damage the Warriors. Especially considering that Thompson is out.
