The potential — dare we say likely — loss of DeMarre Carroll for at least a little while is a real blow to the Hawks.
That’s a Hawks team already without Thabo Sefolosha (thanks again NYPD) and now without it’s other quality wing defender. Against a team with LeBron James and J.R. Smith.
More than just that, it’s an offensive blow to the Hawks — he is tied as their leading scorer during the playoffs, and he gets a lot of points in transition, which they need in this series.
