This is the most important Hawks game that I've ever seen!

Quick analysis: I think our starting 5 is light years better than theirs. I think they have a lot more depth in the frontcourt so it might be necessary to come out and jump on them early with our athleticism. I'd like to see Joe murder Dunleavy on offense, I'd like to see us start the game with Marv on Murphy (he isn't that much of a post-up threat) and Josh on Granger (if he can show the sort of tenacity early that he showed late against Bosh, I think we can stall their offense from the get go), and I'd really like to see us run early against a sort of unathletic starting 5.

I can't be too sure about a road game because we are an awful road team and we just played a tough team. Lets hope the guys can bring it. Go Hawks.

We are a lot better than the Pacers, this is a team we should be beating. If they shoot the ball well they can be dangerous, which worries me considering our perimeter D over the past few weeks.

Last time we went up to Indy they shot lights out from 3 range. They did a fair amount of that against Milwaukee Sunday blowing them out in the fourth after trailing most of the game. Diener and Dunleavy were particularly active. Normally our problem against them is helping out on D and leaving a shooter wide freaking open. Guys have got to stick with their man on D and force them to put it on the floor. I don't think that the Pacers have the athleticism to consistently get to the hole.

The other key to the game might be big man off the bench. They will be playing O'Neal 20 minutes off the bench. We will be playing ZaZa as our big off the bench. O'Neal should provide them more statistically, but we've got to get something out of Pachulia. If he provides nothing (or worse) that might tilt too much to their side.
