NBA.com Hawks-Bobcats Preview

Wins haven't been easy to come by in Charlotte's brief history in the NBA, but the Atlanta Hawks have provided more of them than any other team.

The Bobcats will be trying for their fourth straight win against the Hawks when they visit Atlanta on Wednesday.

Charlotte (4-3) is 9-3 against Atlanta (2-4) since joining the league as an expansion team for the 2004-05 season. The Bobcats, who have 81 victories overall, won the last three of the Southeast Division rivals' four matchups last season and are 4-2 all-time in Atlanta.

Factoid of the day: The Hawks have failed to score more than 91 points in any of their four losses, while scoring 101 and 105 in their two victories. They shot just 39 percent from the field against the Wizards - the second time they have been held under the 40-percent mark.

It should be noted that while the Bobcats are 4-3 on the season they have played 5 of their 7 games at home. They are also coming going into the 2nd of a back to back set. They wiped the floor with Miama minus D-Wade last night. At one point they were up by over 30 if I'm not mistaken.

Key Matchup Tonight

Okafor has had rebounding games of 14, 13, 11, 23, 11 and 10 this season. Horfy will have his hands full tonight!

Atlanta players injured include Speedy Claxton and Lorenzen Wright.

Charlotte on the other hand is a different story.

I am pretty bummed out personally over Charlotte's injury situation. While most Hawks fans may think it's a bonus to face a depleted Bobcats squad I feel quite the opposite. I really enjoy their work. In fact it's some of my all-time favorites! I was really looking forward to seeing some.....

In Case I've Completely Lost You

If you haven't seen that movie your life is incomplete. It's a classic!

Since the theme of the day seems to be film let's talk about this guy.

I've got one question for you Josh. Are you a man or a mouse?

Hopefully Smoove mans up tonight and shows us a little of this

Because if they don't start winning some games soon the season is going to be in the

"listen live"

I am expecting another un-inspired effort from the Hawks. They only seem to get up to play the real good teams.

[Lawstudent101]

Same here.

A crappy performance tonight means Woody is fired.

Here we go!

[gsuteke]

man you guys trip me out.

[gsuteke]

Bummer for you guys hoping we'd lose tonight.

[Frenzy]

come to live chat people!!!!!!

[DrReality]

Impressive start for Acie. This should be flashes of what we will see as he matures. Love the assists and the drive to the basket.

[gsuteke]

can't here at work. well i am on a different computer. i'll give it a shot.

[gsuteke]

doesn't work on this one either

Nice board Smoove!

[Sasquatch]

I guess we see what happens when you give the ball to ACIE on the dawggone rebound!!!!!!

Hear that Smoove.

Thanx to the writer in Detroit!!!

[WraithSentinel]

I am not hoping for a loss. I wasn't one of those people upset we lost to the Celtics. However coming out and not playing hard against the Wiz. That made me start wondering if this team really has grown up or not. They gotta come out and play everyone tough. They can't just get up for the Mavs and Suns and lay down for the Wiz and Bobkittens.

[gsuteke]

damn he denied Gerald Wallace!

Take ownership of that lane Josh!

[exodus]

That foul that Smith committed on Wallace might be the best foul i have ever seen lol.

Did the Hawks hire a new offensive coach?

[gsuteke]

look what's happening?

This cat already has three assists!!!!! But most importantly the team is on fire, the offense is clicking, and Joe drilled his first 3!!!!

Let the man do his job!!!!

I luv ya Smoove, but give Law the ball and everyone wins!!!!!

[gsuteke]

Zaza is balling!

Nice pass by Josh. Nice hang in the air by Marvin to draw the foul.

[gsuteke]

let's see what happens.

[SmooveTheFuture]

Hawks are playing great right now wow at Josh Smith and those low post moves tonight he loooks really impressive.
