Hawk Str8Talk's Honesty Corner's 5 Truths: Vol. 7
Time for the Postseason Edition of the Honesty Corner, so let's get to it. Disclaimer: As always, all criticisms come after blaming the Atlanta Spirit Group first, management second, and then coaches and players last. Those criticisms come through the prism of winning...
Kidd And Nowitzki Help Mavericks Beat Portland In Game One, 89-81
The unexpected star of the first quarter? Jason Kidd, the 38 year old point guard. Even more unexpected was the manner in which he was scoring. This season, it appeared Kidd's three-ball fell off a bit, but apparently his few days off really came in handy. He led the team with 8 points, three...

Playoffs? Lottery?

Nets Stay Alive with Comfortable Victory in Cleveland
The Nets hadn't won a game all year when they scored less than 85 points, but they did it Wednesday night in Cleveland, and just in time. A 30-point third quarter (where they led by as many as 22) gave them enough of a cushion to survive a six-point fourth...

Game 4 was tight throughout, and with a chance to tie the game in the final seconds, Vince Carter lost the ball out of bounds, giving the Cavs the victory and a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, with Game 5 in Cleveland Wednesday night. The Nets shot an...
Kidd Does it All as Nets Win Game 3
The Nets got back in the series with an 11-point victory at the Meadowlands Saturday night. Jason Kidd recorded his 11th career playoff triple-double with 23 points, 13 boards and 14 assists, and the Nets solved their rebounding problem, outboarding the Cavs...
Nets Go Down 0-2 As They're Killed on the Boards Again
In some ways, Game 2 was much different than Game 1. But in the most important manner, it was exactly the same. The Cavs outrebounded the Nets 49-32 on Tuesday night, grabbing 19 offensive boards, which they converted to 20 second-chance points. That, and 17...
