Philadelphia 76ers at Atlanta Hawks

We played on the Hawks on Thursday and that was an absolutely horrible call as they fell down early and seemed to give up as they were blown out by 19 points against Memphis in a game that was even worse than that final score indicates. Still, Atlanta is 8-2 at home this season and it has been great coming off a loss as it is 4-0 in its last four games coming off a defeat including a 2-0 record at home coming off a loss, winning those games by 30 and 27 points.

Philadelphia is coming off its worst game of the season as it lost by 20 points at home to Miami last night. That dropped the Sixers to 16-7 on the season and while that is still pretty good, it may not be as good as you think. The schedule has had a lot to do with that as Philadelphia has played the easiest schedule in the NBA up to this point as they have played only seven games against teams ranked in the top 16 in the league and they have gone 4-3 in those contests.

One of those wins came against Atlanta at home back in mid-January to the Hawks will be playing for some payback following that 14-point loss. The 76 points scored were the second fewest they have put up all season with 74 being the season low coming against Chicago. That is pretty important as the Hawks were able to get their payback against the Bulls as they won by 15 points at home in the follow up game which has been their only revenge game so far this season.

While the Sixers have played the easiest schedule in the league, their recent run has been helped by a home-heavy slate. Philadelphia has played seven straight games at home, 10 of its last 11 have been played at home and 15 of  its last 18 games have been played at home. That is a pretty friendly schedule. The Sixers are 1-2 in those road games, losing at Miami by 21 points and at New York by six points. The only win came against lowly Washington which is certainly not saying much. 9* (504) Atlanta Hawks

Indiana Pacers @ Miami Heat Tuesday May 22, 2012 8:00 pm
We saw something very similar last night with Boston as the home team took advantage of having a Game Five at home and thus took control of the series with a win. Miami is in the same spot tonight and after a very inspired effort on Sunday, I expect the Heat to ride that into Tuesday. ... read more

Philadelphia 76ers @ Boston Celtics Monday May 21, 2012 7:00 pm
This is a pivotal game for both sides as the winner of this game will have a big edge in the series with just one more win needed to advance. We had Philadelphia is Game Four and it was able to tie things up but now we will go the other way and take the Celtics which are in the best ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Sunday May 20, 2012 10:30 pm
We won with the Spurs on Saturday and we will go right back with them on Sunday. It was not a good day for the Staples Center home teams as the Clippers and Lakers blew a combined lead of 37 points and the former hurt the most as the Clippers are now down 3-0 in this series and you ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Sunday May 20, 2012 3:30 pm
We lost with the Heat in Game Three which was pretty much a must win spot for them and now this one turns into a definite one. A loss here and the series isn't over for Miami but it is pretty close so its needs to tie this one up before heading back home for Game Five. The Heat have ... read more

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers Saturday May 19, 2012 10:30 pm
The Lakers were able to climb back into the series last night with a win over Oklahoma City to pull to within a game. It will be short-lived though as these teams play again Saturday in the second of a back-to-back playoff set at Staples Center. It was obviously a must win for Los ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Saturday May 19, 2012 3:30 pm
This is a big weekend for the Clippers which would love nothing more than to sweep the two games played in Los Angeles to even up this series but it simply will not happen. They likely will not even win one of the games as they are clearly overmatched against one of the most efficient ... read more

Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers Friday May 18, 2012 8:05 pm
We played on the Sixers Wednesday and they certainly came up small as Boston was able to grab back the home court edge after a home split in the first two games. This makes Philadelphia in a prime situation on Friday in a chance to even up this series at home. The Sixers were embarrassed ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Thursday May 17, 2012 7:05 pm
Miami let one get away in Game Two as the Heat lost at home to the Pacers and thus, lost home court advantage in this series. They need to get it back and it needs to be done here in the first game in Indiana because being down 2-1 with the possibility of being down 3-1 is not the ... read more

The Lakers were clearly outmatched in Game One against Oklahoma City as their grueling seven-game series against Denver took its toll. Even though there is just one day in-between games here as well, at least Los Angeles doesn't have to travel as it did prior to this series opener. ... read more
