Game 5 not a gimme for C's. Celts 2-9 in last 11 road clinching game. But, Hawks lost 3 straight in home elimination games

So who’s more likely to hang around for one more game, the Hawks or the Bulls. Personally, I am shocked of how far the Bulls have fallen without Rose. I didn’t think the Sixers had a shot to beat the Bulls (even without Rose), and being up 3-1 is certainly something I didn’t see coming. As for the Hawks, they do have Marvin Williams and Al Horford tonight, so I think they have the best shot at taking game

Playoffs Day 10: Preview of Magic-Pacers, Celtics-Hawks, Sixers-Bulls, Nuggets-Lakers

by

The first round of the playoffs are seemingly coming to a quicker close than many may have anticipated. The Mavericks and Jazz have already been swept out, and one of the remaining teams in each series is on the brink of elimination.

by

The New York Knicks lived to play another day with their win over the Miami Heat on Sunday. But when they play again Wednesday, Jeremy Lin almost certainly will not be playing. “I’m not counting on him to play,” Knicks coach Mike Woodson said in a conference call Monday. “That’s how it’s been here in the last month and a half and that’s how I’m preparing.” Lin has been out since late March with a knee injury. His presence would give a

Bernucca: Injuries have cleared easy path for Heat’s return to NBA Finals

by

Notice a trend in the first round of the playoffs? Teams are missing and losing their star players. It is somewhat of an issue in the Western Conference, where the Los Angeles Lakers will be without suspended forward Metta World Peace for another four games and the Los Angeles Clippers will be without injured forward Caron Butler until perhaps the NBA Finals – if they get that far. Over in the East, there is a veritable All-Star team of sidelined players. Dwight Howard.

Hawks sign Erick Dampier for rest of season

by

Erick Dampier will be with the Atlanta Hawks for the rest of the season. After signing the veteran center to a pair of 10-day contracts, the Hawks on Thursday signed Dampier for the remainder of the season, the team announced. Dampier was signed after both All-Star starter Al Horford (torn pectoral muscle) and backup Jason Collins (sprained elbow) went down with injuries. He has played 30 minutes over six games and yet to score but is averaging 1.8 rebounds backing up Zaza

  Easier said then done, Al. The Heat absolutely trounced the Hawks on Sunday Night, coming out and finishing on fire. The Hawks, playing in front of a sold out crowd and on national television, simply did not show up against the Heat. They seemed disinterested, did not execute, and played with very little energy. Although the Hawks have had a solid season, they have been having many issues against teams above .500. They seemed overmatched on both sides of
