Over or under?

Under. It's hard to get blocked when all you do is shoot jumpers.

I'll make this work. Combine numbers for now, it doesn't seem I have any other choice.

WIN NUMBER...

No Raps until 30, Big O.

Can't watch this game though. Going to see American Sniper... better be worth it.

Better get your priorities sorted mate!

Agreed, if I only knew better not to waste my bandwidth on that movie.

Starting a new job tomorrow working 1-9:30 (8:30 eastern). Hopefully this isn't a regular occurrence or I could be out of a job in the near future.

Got $50 on the Hawks +1. Shocked that the Raps were favored. Easy money, baby.

I don't see us getting blown out, the Hawks are one of those teams we seem to match up well with, like the Wiz. This is going to be a close one either way.

Ross explodes with 2 free throw attempts and 3 drives to the basket.

Couldnt resist coming over to check out the game thread. One of the best I've seen on RealGM, very nicely done OP :clap:

You guys always matchup well with us unfortunately so tonight I'm not sure what to expect. I do know that every single player on both rosters knows the stakes for this game and how much of a "must win" it is for both sides. Going to be intense for sure.

CLASS ACT. Man I swear I have hated on the Hawks for YEARS and this year I will gladly eat delicious crow...(except for tonight of course.)

Hawks are cooking. have won 10 in a row. Raps need to come out throwing bombs

Calling DC get's lit up for a T (would be a miracle) and the Hawks get the benefit of clear-path-esque calls.

I think this applies to almost all games prior to (and ill just use an arbitrary date) March. I dont think any are "must win" games.

If you listen to the Grantland NFL podcast, Bill barnwell once went on a tirade about this cliche, I wish I could remember it verbatim but basically its the most over used cliche. Its an important game for fans, because its 2 really good teams in the East.

That aside, I think its going to fun game, and much like you I dont know whats going to happen. I could see the gamut of possibilities from blowouts on either side, to a tight game. Goodluck man and yea we have the best GTs on the internets, thanks to Bruno/Leafs/UDR/etc.., except during the game when everything is negative, and each play in isolation becomes about the worst play/player/coach/etc..

I hate betting against the Raps, but like others I saw the line and put a few bucks on it.
