One of the advantages of playing Chicago over Atlanta is that the series will receive more attention from the national media. We can see this because 3 of the first 4 games will be on national television (where the Nets have not performed very well this season). Also, expect the “if necessary games to also be nationally televised. Game 1 will be in primetime on Saturday night, which will be fun for the Brooklyn fans.
