That streak ends in Atlanta. Book it.

Candi, Ashantii, Vicki 'n them need to gear up (or is it off?)

Ok, logging off before MamaJayu yells at me.

I think the Celtics are going down too.

Wouldn't it be something if we're the ones to end this winning streak. Tbh I'd like to, I don't want them getting to our 19 game mark from a few years ago.

I think we'll have a chance at the win. Our boys are coming off a win in which most of the starters rest in the 4th and they haven't had to travel. Boston meanwhile is coming off a high emotion win, so there could be some letdown immediately afterwards.

It's time to take it to the Smeltics tonight. I honestly don't understand how they are winning all these games...Jaylen Brown is a developing star and Kyrie is their guy...but outside of that they have a bunch of role players in Marcus Morris, Alicia Horbag and Smart...(I do like smart for us next year but that's 9 months off).

Hawks take this one! I mean we just take it from them. This is our home. They can't just come in here and get 2 wins in a week.

Hawks 111
Celts 103

The cheaters from the Bay Area wore them out the other night...I expect Boston to be on fumes.

Ps MAKE KYRIE PLAY D...KYRIE NEEDS TO BE RUNNING INTO MULTIPLE SCREENS.

Just checked. Bean Town has a 74.4% chance of winning by 6.5 points.

As noted above, Hawks have several out or questional. Celtics are 100% healthy. No one out. This may
explain their being as good as they are. Doubtful that they go the entire season with -0- injuries.

Still, (BIG IF) if the Hawks can continue to play defense and get their shots to fall. especially from down town,
I gotta like our chances!

Except for... Gordon Hayward.

As far as past games, Morris has missed nine, and Smart, Horford and Irving were out two each weren't they? Against Charlotte, Horford and Hayward were both out and Irving played less than 2 minutes.

Boston has had as many key players out as anyone.

Gordon Hayward is out for the season with that terrible injury. True. Everyone else 100% healthy tonight.

100% healthy - Heyword? Also both Irving and Hortford have both missed time during their winning streak. I believe they won one or two games with both out of the lineup.

They've had their share of injuries this season, their last game vs the Warriors was the first game they've been 100%(minus Hayward).

Horford def hasn't been playing like a role player this year, you also left out Tatum also. They've been winning games because they have the number one rated defense in the league.

Who gets the 'W'?
