    Kansas actually isn't involved really at all with the NBA playoffs. Are you new?

    Cavs defense was nonexistent while he's been out. He was the primary rim protector. I've never seen someone sit 6 weeks with a broken finger but apparently it was the lower part of the finger and caused a lot of pain. He still couldn't grip the ball with that hand a week ago.

    Is it true the Kansas City Kings have made the NBA playoffs more recently than the Sacramento Kings?

    Attempt is no good

    I don't think he goes 100%. Cavs are going nowhere and he'll have a full offseason to heal

    Try yeah. Super hard no. But, we'll see could b wrong

    That is true. And apparently the public took it to Atlanta -3 at DraftKings. Which is just so odd to me.

    If you want to just do a Home to Road analysis... percentages show Cleveland has a better chance of winning. It just depends on what stats you're using to cap this game. Any type of closeout games in the NBA.... or do or die... home team always has the advantage.

    yeah it's just one factor. i think home teams are 11-1 in the play-ins, yet both road teams are favs tonight

    in the end it's just one factor. you have to take into account all factors. i'm on the hawx tonite and yeah the stat bothers me, if i'm wrong i'll say what the h ell was i doing going against that trend. but the hawx re hot and i doubt allen wants to play this game

    What's interesting is that both home teams tonight may close as underdogs. And where that 11-1 home team record comes into play... wow. I don't know how you fade it? Looks juicy... I don't know how both away teams can win tonight.

    cavs shooting 58% from 3, atlanta 17%, and hawx down 7.

    should be down 20 but thankfully the cavs are garbage. still hoping for a comeback

    ice trey like 30 in the 2nd half

    cavs not quite ready to contend yet...

    hopefully no one lost a lot on cavs

    i was ready to jump on hawks after the typical "home hot 1st quarter"

    what a player trey young. glad to see him wave goodbye to that infantile cleveland crowd

    shame capela looks like he's out for the season. they could beat miami but now it's going to be tough without him.

    great team to watch, as you said they're just flat out better than a cleveland team with a guy in allen who wasn't 100%

    brews for me at a worthless baseball game tomorrow, drink up fellas

    Hawks are better with Okongwu at centre. DIdn't catch the 2nd half but I'm assuming that's why they won. Coach realised it earlier in the season but didn't want to show up his veteran centre. Okongwu is a perfect matchup for Bam... he's a future Bam.

    T'Wolves won the other day because their centre fouled out. Hawks win tonight because their centre got hurt. Tough line of work this. :|

    Including last season's playoffs people have been betting against Hawks every game and getting burned and lose their bankrolls. People will never learn.

    As a result of tonight's loss, the Cavaliers will retain their first round draft pick. They have a 2.4% chance of moving up into the top four, and a 0.5% chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick.
