Turkoglu Starting To Find His Groove

It may have taken him nearly 60 games, but if Hedo Turkoglu continues to play like he has against Portland and Atlanta, then he may be one of the key ingredients to any success Toronto has in the postseason.

Catching Up With Mike Woodson

Tonight I was able to chat with Woodson about what he does to make sure his players don’t dwell on their convincing win over Toronto the last time these two teams met, the importance of his team winning the Southeast Division, what his team needs to do be considered in the conversation as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference and the evolution of Josh Smith this season.
