The Atlanta Hawks are tough to beat when Joe Johnson is playing at the top of his game. Defeating the Denver Nuggets is just as difficult when they're relying on Carmelo Anthony.Johnson and the Hawks look to reach the .500 mark when they host Anthony and the Nuggets at Philips Arena on Tuesday night.

    Nuggets/Hawks should be fun, though

    Lots of athletic and long players going crazy

    Josh Smith and JR Smith should just go to the other end of the court everytime and have a dunk contest. Refusing to come out of the game.

    With the crowd shouting "In Da Ay Tee El!" and doing that strange "woop! woop!" call during the contest

    Wiz playing all there backups.

    Knicks with some nice scheduling. They played Detroit when DET was playing its 4rth game in 5 nights. The same with the Wiz. Both teams were tired and drained where as the Knicks are fresh.

    Thats why they've looked like a half decent team.
