Bobby Jackson	Watch Out For...	Glenn Robinson
Notes: The Hawks have a very solid starting line up. All can score and now they have defense. Newble is a lot like Christie with his defense. Three scoring options in Rahim, Robinson, and Terry. Ratliff is in the backcourt and he's a major shot blocker. Should be a legit match up.
