David Rudolph's NBA - I Like Atlanta tonight!

By David Rudolph
 
The Miami Heat are everyone's favorite to get to the finals out of the East, by a large margin. As well they should be. As I watch them game by game though as of now, I'm definitely seeing them "go through the motions". If ever there was a game they'd get up for and play well, it would have been the Knicks game, but no. They lost by 20 points to a Carmelo-less team and looked pathetic most of the night on their home court whether it was offense or defense.

Tonight they play an Atlanta team who just beat the hottest team in the NBA, Memphis. I felt the Hawks are a team to watch who could compete in the East with the big boys, here is their chance. They'll take their three game win streak into Miami tonight. The NBA is very streaky, and why wouldn't you like a team that's playing well against a team that is playing poorly? Sometimes it is that simple, and that's what I'm going with tonight as my free play. I’ll take the 7 1/2 points and feel I'm on the right side no matter the outcome.

Postscript: Both Lebron (groin) and D Wade (ankle) are listed on the injury report due to nagging injuries, wouldn't be surprised at all if Wade missed, or if they both got limited minutes tonight against a physical Hawks team.
