Hawks-Heat Halftime, the mighty Quinn

If you are a hoops junkie, this time of year feeds the habit.

The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat are battling in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference 1st round matchup with the series tied at 2.

This series has been the opposite of the nail-biting Bulls-Celtics games--with each team taking turns pounding the other. Game 5 is no different as the Hawks are smoking the Heat at halftime 63-40. Hawks center Al Horford was knocked out with what looked like a twisted ankle. Horford is done for the night.

Our buddy Alex at NBATipOff.com is dropping in a few guest Tweets on Horford's injury and what the Heat need to do to get back in the game:

This begs the question...how is Chris Quinn cashing an NBA paycheck? He looks like a dude I could take.
