VS.



A Cavs team minus LeBron will be nice. Jamison is a gametime decision to play. Lets go win another one on the road.

Go Hawks!

I think Mo Williams comes back for this one but this team is defensive oriented. Their not exactly going to wow you with their offensive prowess. We have to get the tempo and pace of the game at a high volume and we should win. Cause if we play a slow style like Boston did up there then they have a nice shot at us. Go Hawks!! 4-0.

Can't afford to take Cleveland lightly. They'll scrap.

We are down to 3 undefeated teams now (Hornets and Lakers as well). I'm a bit concerned that Varajeo has given us fits on the boards in the past.

Who else on that team can give us fits? Hickson, Mo, Moon, Jamison?

If Jamison is hitting from the outside he is the kind of PF that gives Josh Smith a lot of trouble. And Mo Williams is playing and the Hawks are pretty terrible at PG.

Jamison didn't do much against us with the Cavs but as a Wizard he get a ton of rebounds and score at will against us. In theory we should match up well against Cleveland, but then again I wouldn't have thought that Boston should have had much trouble there and they lost. It's going to take a good effort on the road because Byron Scott has Cleveland playing with effort.

The PG situation does scare me. I am hoping that our team defense can help with Mo.

That or Crawford giving us some speed to combat Mo (not that Crawford is a good defender).

Jamison is questionable and Mo is coming back from a groin injury so I doubt he is or will be 100% for at least another couple weeks. The two players that gave the Hawks the most trouble in the past (obviously LeBron and then Z with his crazy length) are gone leaving a lineup that can neither defend nor outscore us.
The Celtics lost because of nature, having an average age of over 30 in your regular rotation on the second night of a home and away back to back will make things tougher on you.
If the Hawks lose it's because of old habits and lack of concentration. Either way, it would be disappointing.

Hawks favored to win by 3.5 points. The over/under is 190.5.

The Refs:
Marc Davis
David Guthrie
Josh Tiven

Mo Williams is suppose to come off the bench.

Hm. I don't know. Sure we got robbed last year vs Queen James, bur CLE scares the hell out of me. Gotta keep an eye on Hickson.

GO HAWKS!!!

I have to ask: why, and this has been a pattern dating back to when Woodson was a coach, do your coaches always pull Horford about halfway through the first quarter and sit him the rest of the way? Makes no sense whatsoever.

Great start, but now that the shots aren't falling we need to turn up the heat on D.

Hickson looks pretty sick.

This is a bizarro game so far. Marvin being aggressive, Josh hitting sizeup contested long jumpers....

Wow. Terrible quarter so far.

Of course he's having a career night against us,

Gotta keep it up Hawks, don't lay down!!!

Still up by 1 at the start of the 4th. Now we just need to do the opposite of what we did against Cleveland last year and finish.

I'm afraid Teague is not the answer we needed at PG...

C'mon Joe wake wake and bring the W home.

GO HAWKS!!!

I'm not sure Rathbun is going to survive this game.

I'm watching the Cleveland stream. Austin Carr has gotten considerably less homeristic without LeBron.
