Hawks' DeMarre Carroll to Have MRI Thursday

[LT Profits]

They are calling it a knee sprain for now but he was on crutches after the game and knee injuries sustained without contact like this one was often turn out more severe. Stay tuned.

Oh well...

[LT Profits]

Carroll is Hawks leading scorer in playoffs and Atlanta is already thin at the wing with Sefolosha out for the year. If Carroll is out, guess Bazemore gets his minutes.

[Ballerholic]

goodnight hawks

[LordVodka]

Cleveland sweeps now.

[STAX]

wonder what the series price for ATL will be if Carroll is out for playoffs and having already lost game 1. Would you bet it at +600?

No I would not.

[Otters27]

Cleveland vs. Golden State in the Finals. Huge ratings for NBA on this one. JR Smith wants to show he is as good of shooter as Curry

[STAX]

No I would not.

+800? I dont give ATL much of a chance, but if the series price gets close to + 4 digits, you have to consider it

Yeah its gonna be a CLE/GS finals... Its going to be the LeBron vrs Curry show. The supporting casts of each superstar are very good, but the defensive weakness for each team lies where the other team's superstar plays. Cavs cant defend the PG and Warriors cant defend the wing. Therefor we are gonna see huge lines from LeBron and Curry, itll be must-watch basketball. Ill be betting on whoever is the underdog, probably will be Cleveland +150 to +175 series price. Ill take that all day.

I didn't expect Cavs to have much trouble before the injury and Hawks showed nothing last night that would change my mind. Maybe 5% chance without Carroll which is +1900, which we will never see.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Will be a shame if it is something that keeps Carroll off court for the beginning of next season too.

Carroll is top notch

No idea where this guy came from but I would want him on my team

I saw the kid play in two state championship games in high school. He wasn't even the best player on the team. They had a point guard who was hyper athletic like Derrick Rose at the time. He was Mr Basketball his junior and senior years. Carroll was just big.

[LT Profits]

Game 2 opened at just Cleveland -1 and the Hawks actually took some money with the game now at PICK, so maybe it is just a sprain for Carroll and he might actually play.

[t-wizzle]

No shot Carroll plays in Game 2.

It won't matter. Hawks win regardless.

Turns out books knew what they were doing (shocker! )

MRI revealed no structural damage and injury is just a bruise. Carroll now listed as day-to-day.

[lakerboy]

Hawks series line is +400. Not sure why people think the series is over. Cavs will lose big time in game 2.

[terrortwylight]

The media is driving the narrative that it's all over. I love it. Perfect.

I'm going to POUND Hawks in game 2.

[LT Profits]

SERIES is over I think. But that does not mean Atlanta cannot win Game 2 at home. I just don't see Cavaliers losing to this team at home in Games 3-4.

[Cross]

Hawks are done, not just the media.

[Otters27]

Hawks should win game 2. But Cavs and Lebron are on a mission. Looks like someone keeps stepping up for he Cavs in Loves absence. Almost like they are better without love.

[GT21Megatron]

Hawks getting swept

[Wrigley]

I agree I smell a sweep now

[LT Profits]

Early reports are that Carroll hyperextended his knee and is also dealing with a bone bruise. Carroll will now begin around the clock treatment on his left knee, and he is being listed as questionable for Friday's Game 2 against the Cavs. For what it's worth, Kent Bazemore said he was "optimistic" about Carroll being able to play on Friday after seeing him Thursday morning, and we will be monitoring this situation very closely. Bazemore will be the primary beneficiary if Carroll is unable to suit up for Game 2.

I am actually on the Hawks, would not be surprised if Game 2 is their only win of this series.

[BarkingToad]

Almost a must win for Hawks to not go down 2-0 at home. They need Junkyard Dog healthy to have a chance in the series.

Atlanta cannot win without a healthy Carroll

Depending on the severity of the injury, sometimes these partially-healthy players come out in beast mode and play great with all the drugs and pain killers numbing their body.

[Snowball]

Waiting - betting Cavs IF Carroll is announced OUT.

[mr. leisure]

Hawks are -2.5 now

Hawks are -2.5 now

Partly due to Kyrie downgraded to Questionable after missing morning shootaround
