AJC.com: Bradley: Don't Look For D-Wade to D-Rail the Hawks

Key excerpt:
“That [series] taught us how to play playoff basketball,” Woodson said, and we’re about to see if that’s true. The Hawks seized on that Celtics experience to move from the No. 8 seed a year ago to No. 4 this time, and that’s a major consideration. They’ll have four games of the best-of-seven at Philips Arena, and we all know the Hawks – pause for effect – have never lost a postseason game on this hallowed hardwood.
Bradley also has a useful quote from Heat radio color man, John Crotty:
"Dwyane had 55 against the Knicks last week and [it was almost like] he didn’t take a jump shot. He just got to the rim. It’s harder to do that against the Hawks."
Plus, Dominique Wilkins breaks down the series in less than 30 seconds.

i guess the heat radio guy has a more inflated view of Wade's jumping ability than i do.
