Can the Hawks beat the Bucks tonight?

No Brandon Jennings...do they have enough to still beat the Hawks?

Which Atlanta team will show up?

The Hawks need a road win in a bad way!

Troll Alert-
No idea how Atlanta is playing but the Bucks are actually playing better since Jennings went down. No Jennings isn't hurting this team, but rather Bogut has been stepping up and the team is passing better. Should be a good game depending if the Hawks come to play. (No offense, but they had trouble getting up for the games last year in Milwaukee) Talent-wise I would say Hawks have an edge but Bucks normally work harder.

The first half looks good right now, but the 2nd half will be the test, so I hope we come out strong.

We decided to rebound tonight!

Remember that post how I said the Bucks usually play harder? May want to ignore that. Hawks on fire.

Josh Smith is 0-8 in his last 3-point attempts.

Atleast Marvin appears to have found his jumpshot for the time being.

I noticed he had gone cold but didn't realize it was quite that bad. All the more reason to play the big lineup (with Jason Collins at the 5). With Josh at the SF he seems more at ease with taking his defender to the low post whereas at the 4 he seems to shy away from that a bit (maybe too much banging for his liking). Josh needs to cut down the number of long bombs in games until he can get his stroke back through practice. The way things are going now he can shoot us out of games with those long misses.
