Cleveland is a better matchup for the Nets

If the NBA playoffs started today, the Nets would face the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. The Hawks’ all-around talent and chemistry makes them a less-ideal match-up for Brooklyn. Personally, I think that the Nets have a better chance to win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
