Hawks vs Mavericks coverage Hawks vs Mavericks preview Peachtree Hoops The Match-ups: Point Guard Jason Kidd : Well here we are again the second game of a back to back, and so far this year this has been the game that this team has struggled with.

Somewhere over Alabama or Mississippi – I’m on my way to Dallas. It struck me as odd that I’ll be in Atlanta and Dallas today, but am covering neither the SEC or Big 12 championship. Anyway, my quick take on the New York loss. Obviously, losing Josh Smith was huge, in that the starters burned more minutes than they would have, and the Knicks went at the basket with relative impunity....

Hello, all- Hope you’ll be somewhere to see the game. I’ve got to get down there before I get stuck in SEC traffic. Things I’ll be watching 1) What do the Hawks do with Al Harrington ? The former Hawk busted out for 21 in the first game and had control of the game in the first half. Watch for double teams if he gets it in the post. 2) Same question with Toney Douglas . Expect him...

Plus, I get the sense that the team has reached a similar level of frustration that it had after Charlotte, which was...

XXXXX xxxxx x x Had the Kings fallen to New Orleans on Sunday, it would have been frustrating. Instead, it was flattering. The Hornets geared much of their defense toward slowing Kings rookie guard Tyreke Evans and were largely successful. He scored fewer points than he had since Nov. 2 (14) while having as many turnovers as assists (four) and one rebound in 40 minutes. But the move hardly paid off,...

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the Magic surged as the tide of the game turned dramatically in the Magic's favor. The Magic went on to...
