Jax is questionable to play, which is obviously good news.

Per rotoworld

Stephen Jackson has a strained hamstring, but he also has a turned ankle and a sore hand and elbow.
"The way he was hurting, I wish I hadn't played him at all," said coach Larry Brown. "So we took him out for his own good." Jax doesn't want to sit out unless the Bobcats have clinched a playoff berth, but said "I felt like I was running in quicksand ... I couldn't move." Movement is essential to the game of basketball, so consider him questionable for Tuesday's game vs. Atlanta

Road game??? (sigh)

Going to this game...

Based on the way we have played in the second half this is a game we most likely lose. Couple that with the fact that we are clearly just cruising until the postseason arrives and I don't like our chances.

Please, please, PLEASE win this game so we can get Milwaukee in the first round.

Jax intends on playing. Theo Ratliff might not play. We should attack the hell out of the basket then.

The reports are Joe is out Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wow. This will be a tough win if Joe is out. Time to show us whats up Marvin.

Don't fool yourself this game will be tough with or without Joe. The Hawks are below average on the road while Charlotte is an really good home team. Add the fact they are still playing for something like Uhh "THE PLAYOFFS".

Hopefully we play better than the last time we played there----- http://www.realgm.com/src_nba_boxscore/ ... charlotte/

Damn. Bibby is out as well. Teague will get the start. This sucks.

The Hawks might get smacked tonight. Go Knicks.

Teague is not ready for the NBA. This is laughable. Its been a while since ive seen a team this lost.
I miss Bibbys leadership. Im embarrassed, so im turning this trash off.

This game is a nightmare.

Knicks up 8 vs. Boston in the 1st.

Marvin plays like Mario on the offensive end - panics and looks to pass straight away as if the ball burns his hands. Or on the odd occasion that he tries to do something, it is off balance and ugly. The only time Marvin looks ok is when he gets an open jumpshot created by a teammate, and even that has been inconsistent this year.

Teague is not ready for NBA. I've always wanted to give him time, but this really does look like Acie all over again.

Ya. This is a good game so far. I love how the Knicks can plug any guy and make them look half decent. Douglas and Walker have looked real solid when they get PT.

Couldn't bring myself to watch this game after the 1st 5 minutes but the Hawks(as usual) didn't just lay down which is somewhat of a plus. I expected them to lose by about 25 plus. I am a little surprised that Wallace,Diaw,and Chandler dominated offensively. Charlotte is not a good offensive team.

As a side note...Boston is losing and Milwaukee is winning. I don't watch womens college ball but it looks like UCONN could lose the national title game after winning 70 straight games.

I am not bothered by this game. The Hawks aren't a good road team at full strength anyway.

Hideous start, but after that they weren't bad. Teague looked very tentative to start when he tried to score. He missed his first 8 shots but made his next 3. He also had 6 assists in 20 minutes with only 1 turnover. Not too bad.

^Teauge looked very lost to me. Im losing confidence in him. His inabilty to hit the midrange shot hurts our offense. Hes to fast for his own good.

This game doesnt matter, as long as Boston loses.

Boston is down 6 late in the 3rd.
