Random Tidbits and Notes

Sending good thoughts towards Al Horford, hoping his shoulder injury isn’t serious…It appears as if the Hawks have separated themselves as the third-best team in the East…It’s amusing that the Miami Heat are just 2-3 against the horrific Atlantic Division…The Golden State Warriors have played just four games against the Eastern Conference…The Houston Rockets are just 11-9 against the Western Conference.
