Probable starters:
Jeff Teague--------PG--Darren Collison
Kirk Hinrich--------SG--Paul George
Marvin Williams----SF--Danny Granger
Josh Smith---------PF---David West
Zaza Pachulia------C---Roy Hibbert

----
Hawks Injury Report: Al Horford (pectoral) and Jason Collins (elbow) are out. Joe Johnson (knee) is doubtful. Tracy McGrady (knee) and Willie Green (back) are questionable.

Pacers Injury Report: Jeff Foster (back) is out.
----

Uh-oh. No Joe and Them Pacers are looking for blood.

I think keys will be
- Kirk vs George
- then George Hill off of Indiana's bench
- Smith vs West; last time Smith took and hit a boatload of jumpers. With no Joe Johnson taking off pressure he likely has to find a way to adjust.
- We are Away. Pacers likely get some home cooking from the refs.

idk why Injury Report has "Joe Johnson (knee) is doubtful". Are we expecting a Willis Reed from him? lol

I believe in us after the OKC game. Games vs Philly, Orlando, and Indy are twice as important because of the race for 3rd. Lets see if we get 3 straight games of "Good Josh"

McGrady said he has to manage his surgically-repaired left knee: “It doesn’t do very well on the back-to-backs. I didn’t have my balance and planted it wrong [vs. the Thunder]. It was already sore before the game.” Drew: “I don’t think he’s 100 percent but he feels like he can go. We will see how he looks.”

I think Marvin and Josh bring their A-Game defensively ala vs OKC. I think we lockdown Granger and West. But anyone have a feeling Paul George or Hill goes off?
:(

I intend on paying close attention to Josh Smith to see how he performs. It's his team tonight, he needs to set the tone, and be a leader to the best of his ability.

Smith wasn't exactly getting past West last time. A boatload of drives ending in stepback jumpers.

He's not really bitching. He post this weird play by play only he skips the plays that don't agree with his ideas of how this team should work. Meaning Josh can't play well against PF's because he is a SF and all, so he has to point out when things dont go perfectly.
