Let's do it! Back to back road wins! Horford is out so I think we have a good shot.

I feel like Joe Johnson will destroy our wings.

Smith will keep Love fairly well in check. Means we are screwed unless Rubio has a magic night.

I had this picture of Pek hunched over staring into a computer monitor, I wanted it for a gamethread but could never find it again :(

Ahhhh a B2B, so that's why everyone was whining about Rubio/Love minutes.

This will be a tough one to get on the road, even without Horford. If we played like we did last game, I assure you that we'll come back home with a L. I don't expect every facet to be addressed in such a short span of time, but at least you got to handle the ball with some sort of caution, shoot a respectable percentage, play hard defense, and make your freethrows. We'll see how this game turns out.

Marvin Williams still out too? If so I expect Vlad Rad and Pachulia to each go for 20 points in usualy "career night for scrubs" against us.

The banged-up Hawks look to defeat the Timberwolves for an 11th straight time Saturday night in Atlanta.


Damn...

Hopefully D-Will has a big game, he barely played last night

Luke Ridnour on Joe Johnson scares the hell out of me, I imagine he will post him up from the get-go. I'm much more comfortable starting Wes on Joe and bringing Luke off the bench, but Adelman is so strict on having Rubio play with another ball handler.

I think AR can guard Rad pretty effectively. Hope he gets minutes against him. Otherwise yeah, Johnson could really be a handful. I suppose it necessarily means more minutes for Ellington. He and Wes have to hit some shots.

Seeing as I now live in Atlanta, I was going to go to this game. I decided after watching last night that I wasn't going to go, but will watch at home instead. Last night was abysmal, and even though I love this team, I'm predicting an absolute stomp. I hope I'm wrong, and I hope I regret not going.

Go Wolves.

I hope Williams gets 20+ minutes tonight.

I'll be gone for the first half of the game, so I hope things go well without me.

I think Atlanta is the team we have a the longest winning drought against. Can't wait to finally beat them. Not that I expect it to happen tonight. Just saying.

For some unexplainable reason I feel like we might sneak up on these guys with hot shooting (?)

Call me crazy. I think we'll sneak out with a W, and it won't even be as ugly as last night's W.

I'm a lunatic, I know :cowboy:

This will either be a complete disaster or a very good game.
