any reasons why?

[BHayley]

I hope we come out and play hard. We might get off to a slow start, but

I predict Atlanta 104-95 if we win. I really dunno what the score will be. I'm suspecting our guys are tired. Maybe this is the game to give Salim a lot of PT. He might actually produce some points in this game. Heck, why not START Salim and see what he can do?

[Gray Mule]

After watching our last win, I'm excited to see our

Hawks do it again!

I hope we blow them away. I expect it to be close.

Since this IS west coast and they play fast, upbeat

type games, let's say Hawks win 105 - 97.

See you in the chatroom around 9 P.M. ??

GO HAWKS!!

...now next 7. I think we run well and GS is a runner now with Nellie. That's my reason why.

the Hawks have been playing good enough defense as of late. they lost to New Jersy because they shot 39% from the field. that is horrendous.

I like the Hawks' ability to speed up the game while at the same time slowing it down by drawing fouls on the offensive end. see Marvin for example.

most importantly I'm partial to seeing Al get his butt kicked by the kids.

[gsuteke]

plus Baron Davis is out. I mean come on, really. if you are going to be a good team in this league you beat other teams that are missing their best player.

[DJ_Money]

Another interesting case study...

GS likes to run, much like PHX. They don't play much defense, either. I think they're worst in the league, actually. This should be our "style" of game.

They're missing three key players.

We crushed them a few weeks ago in Atlanta.

I'd be very dissapointed if we lost tonight. Of course, I've been dissapointed before.

don't take GS lightly, they just got finished beating chicago at home and their crowd can get rowdy. it's one of the main reason's they are so good at home. they feed off of them. we just have to minimize mistakes and slow down the game. if we get into a running contest we won't win.

[AtLaS]

Damn I've really changed my feelings on Lo, he doesn't make stupid mistakes, and he's actually not that bad a defender.

That dunk he just had was impressive, and now a nice block on the other end.

[DJ_Money]

We're running again. GS can't seem to handle it.

Smoove is turning this game into his personal highlight film.

To the chatroom!

Who ever said Childress is our best finisher couldnt be any more wrong. The guy has had last 3 or 4 trys to finish on the break so far and hes either traveled lost it or got blocked. Horrible finishing by Childress.

[SmooveTheFuture]

Figures Salim comes in the game there goes the lead this guy cant hit jack. Why not ride the hot hand and keep giving it to Smith. Zaza trying to his stupid bank shots we just blew a 12 point lead down 2 points unacceptable.

[exodus]

Whenever Salim comes into the game it immediately swings the other way. First he gives up an uncontested layup, then misses a layup. Then throws up a brick.

Childress is playing like an idiot right now.

[AtLaS]

Smitty just analyzed Josh Smith's recent blowing up perfectly, it's what I've been saying all along.

It's because he's playing PF and he can beat PFs off the dribble, plus he will beat his man down the floor everytime.

That is one of several reasons.

As soon as they take out Salim the Hawks get back in gear.

Smith is playing very inspired tonight.
