Not even being negative, but I expect a loss in this one. We haven't been playing well recently and the Hawks have already beaten us twice. It's also on the road. Just not a good feeling with this one.

Unless Trae is out. Think he'll play though.

Have no clue what to expect. We should probably win this but we could easily lose this even if young doesnt play. I just dont know this team anymore. I feel an upset lose coming after a nice comeback win against the nets.

I expect a lot of missed shots, mixed in with our fair share of Buddyball, then finally coach Cliff getting furious for calling a fake timeout on the sly.

I expect the victor to win by 15+. But I have no idea what team that will be.

Orlando is healthy - - - FOCUSED play please.

Carter's swan song in C. Florida.

Yep, I have no clue about this game. The magic haven't really been playing well. The hawks aren't any better than the magic but they have been playing well as of late and are pretty talented.

Career high time for Bruno Fernando.

The Hawks got our number this year... I know Trae is gonna go off, if they have someone else like Reddish or Teague go off, this will be a struggle.

They have always had our number at home.

The all time series is 38 to 20 in favour of the Hawks and they have won 14 of the past 19.

Anyone thinking this game is a gimmie is setting themselves up for the rage monster of post game disappointment.

No matter how bad we are, we are most likely making the playoffs. No reason to cheer for losses. Win so we can get out of the 8th seed, please..

Lol, thanks for the mental prep. I was going in optimistic that Gordon and Vuc are getting into playoff chase gear.

Let's Go Magic!

There is one reason. The worse we play and the more we lose, the more the front office may be forced to make changes to the team in the offseason. Although that's probably wishful thinking.

This is an L. This is going exactly the way the last 3 hawks games have gone. Smh

Atlanta broadcasters: "Vucevic isn't playing defense on the pick and roll so Trae can get that shot all game".

Vuc just got manhandled out to the 3 point line lol.

Yeah but he flailed his arms at the end so it's all good.
