Atlanta's only chance to get back into this series tonight...

0-0 -- Wanted to at least publish one play this 2014-15 season before it ends...I like this one a lot, to be frank...

Atlanta Hawks -3, laying $220 to win $200 -- This is it for the Hawks...If they have any shot to win this series, they MUST win tonight...I doubt if DeMarre Carroll plays tonight despite the game-time decision status, but the bigger news to me is that Kyrie Irving not playing for the Cavs...Look at the boxscore for Game 1: It was all LeBron and J.R. Smith offensively, although Tristan Thompson was efficient...Smith was 10-for-16 from the field, including 8-for-12 from 3-point land...That isn't happening again...And despite Smith going off, Lebron scoring 31 and Carroll having a subpar game before getting hurt, the Hawks cut a big deficit down to 4 with 1:02 left in the game...The Hawks lost Game 1 to Washington last series by 6, then spanked the Wiz in Game 2 by 16 at Home...If Smith doesn't score 28 again tonight for the Cavs, who else is going to pick up the slack, especially with Irving and his 10 points and 6 assists from Game 1 now gone?...Atlanta should win this by at least 8 and this really should be a double-digit win with the potential to be a blowout...
