Don't give a shit about who wins the first-round playoff series between the Hawks and Pacers? Don't worry, neither does anyone else. But you should give a shit about what Roy Hibbert and Gerald Green did last night. Each threw down a dunk that was more than worthy of the playoff stage....
The Lakers Are Breaking Down
The Lakers lost, 102-91, to fall down 0-2 in their matchup with San Antonio.

Harrison Barnes Is Still Very Good At Dunking
We haven't really heard much from Harrison Barnes ever since he opened the season with a vicious posterization of Nikola Pekovic.
