It will be really hard to get the 3rd seed if IND plays well until the end of the regular season, but I hope we can stay with the 4th best record, as it gives us home court advantage even if BOS or PHI gets the 4th seed.
We need to stay ahead of BOS, ORL, PHI and NY, that's all, and the schedule helps us.

If they can do that, playoffs will be easier. In the past, I would bet that they would failed and ended at the 6th ot 7th seed, but I'm more optimist this season. Don't really know why, maybe because we are in the run for that even if we got lots of injuries.

Go Hawks ! :)

Didn't like the Josh vs Maxiell matchup last matchup.
Also don't like the Tayshaun vs Joe matchup.
Kirk "cornbread" Hinrich at SG.

Hopefully we pull something out our butts and win with bench depth or Josh goes for 50 or something. :D
Doubt it. GO TO THE BIG LINEUP!

Im out!

Teague
with the Jason Terry leg sox. Coast to coast and already attempted 2 3PA early.

Kendall Gill said the next step for JT is to run the team like CP3 in LA.

Marvin subbed in to get Joe vs Gordon.

Teague with 7 and 3 in the 1st quarter. Looking like a vet out there.

Smith hitting his PF jumpers and 2 offensive boards.

15,143 came out to see the game apparently.

We beat them in fast break points, in the paint, and we had the biggest lead.
