CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Tomorrow night the Cleveland Cavaliers begin the second round of the NBA playoffs by hosting the Atlanta Hawks. This will be the first time the Cavaliers have played since they wrapped up their sweep of the Detroit Pistons last Sunday. So, they might be a little rusty to start the series.

But, it might not matter. Including the Cavaliers' sweep of Atlanta in the Eastern Conference Finals last year and this season's 3-0 record against the Hawks, the Cavaliers have beaten Atlanta seven straight times.

Crowquill, by Plain Dealer artist Ted Crow, appears three times a week on cleveland.com.
