12/26 New York @ Atlanta

[HMFFL]

When: 7:30 PM ET, Saturday, December 26, 2015
Where: Philips Arena, Atlanta, Georgia

Our beloved Atlanta Hawks are favored to win by 7 points. We currently have won five straight games and it should be six straight at home tonight. I hear the halftime show will be good tonight.

Pretty excited for Cee Lo Green's performance tonight actually. I feel like it'll be much better than Silento, Rich Homie Quan, and Jeezy (what was Koonin thinking with these). The only halftime act I really got in to over these past two seasons has been Ludacris'.

As for the game, I'm expecting nothing short of a win tonight. I'm excited to see Porzingis live tonight, and can't wait to see how Thabo and Bazemore guard Melo.

Hawks are playing like they don't wanna be there. NY had to come in not them!

[Hawkeyes]

Feel very lucky to only be down 3 at halftime. Our defense has been awful.

[DirtybirdGA]

Oh well, nice turnaround.

[Hawkeyes]

We made the Knicks 15 point lead look like a 2 point lead. Effortless comeback and a great 2nd half performance. Win #20.

Glad they finally woke up after that first quarter. Knicks cooled off and we played like a vet team, not panicking at all.

Knicks shot like 70% in the first half yet were only up 3 going into the break. I had supreme confidence that they wouldn't even need a Bud stare down or knocked over cooler to right the ship for the 2nd half. Rest up, say good bye to the loved ones, hop on that charter plane and get ready for PG13 and Harden.

One of the worst 1st quarters I've ever seen. Great that the Hawks didn't get down on themselves and battled back. Today's game really showed the team's maturity. The Hawks don't have a top 5 players but if they can be one of the best executing, team in the league, that's the most we can ask from them.

A special thanks o the 3 Knick fans sitting near me that funded a nicer han usual dinner for me and my wife after I bet them he Hawks would win by double digits after hat first quarter Knick barrage.

The defense wasnt even particularly bad(for the most part) in that stretch. They were hitting contested shots and we were missing. I knew that wouldn't last.

That said, Derek Fisher is a god awful coach. A smart coach would have gone to Melo on the block every play down as he was too big for Baze, only sub out KP when Millsap left he court....just so many other things. Then his trying to get kicked out act was so transparent the refs wouldn't even call a tech

Shoutout to Mike Scott, going 7-7. That's why he's here: because when he gets hot, we reach a new level of play.

He's a perfect example of players who have the microwave trait on 2K, which makes a player automatic when he heats up. I'll just call him microwave Scott in those situations.

Hawks have faced a number of inferior opponents after a challenging stretch...and have feasted on those opponents. They deserves kudos. It's nice to regularly win the games you're supposed to win.

Horford has limited his number of 3 point attempts and has seen a return to form. (Note: In his last 5 games, he's shooting a combined 8% from three point range.)

Dennis has played extraordinarily well the last couple of weeks.

Millsap has been the steadying force through it all.

Teague is still recovering from his ankle injury, but has been productive the last couple of games.

We get a real test on Monday against a rejuvenated Pacers team. Will be fun with both teams rested.
