The New Orleans Pelicans try for their first four-game winning streak of the season as they face the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night at Philips Arena to start a stretch against four teams with losing records.
Atlanta's 12 victories are the fewest in the NBA, but the Hawks are coming off a 102-99 defeat of the San Antonio Spurs on Monday and are 8-12 at home, including 4-3 against Western Conference teams.
Atlanta also played the Pelicans tough in New Orleans on Nov. 13, losing 106-105 after leading by as many as 14 points.
Playing close games has been the norm for the Hawks (12-31). In all except 12 of their 43 games, they have been within at least one possession at some point in the fourth quarter.
The Hawks, short-handed inside most of the season, will at least have a full quota of frontcourt players to combat Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins.
The game with the Pelicans is the third of a six-game homestand for the Hawks and they are on the road for only one game before playing three more at home to end January.

That's pretty funny. Cousins diving for a loose ball! In what universe? I think i'll have to worry more about Rondo slapping my beer out of my hand.

Feels like a trap game for the Pels flying in at 2:30 am coming off an emotional win in Boston.

That's the thing. Either this is a masterful tank job by Bud & Co. or we are very lucky to not have 10 more wins. This is a decent team. Hopefully after some trades it'll be a lot more young guys taking their lumps.

Pels on fire...Ant Davis on fire with the best week in his career. We NEED to tank. No more meaningless victories. Pels come in on adrenaline and beat us tonight.
Pelicans 110
Hawks 104

Because Orlando, our nearest competitor for the bottom of the NBA, won last night, Hawks may "go for the gold"
and play this western team to a standstill.
Being the worst, lowest team in the NBA is no easy task. As noted already in this subject, with just a small
change here and there, Hawks could now be in the top eight instead of where we are.
If the front office doesn't do something, like break up this team by the trade deadline, you can kiss the dream
of obtaining that great, wonderful future all star in the draft. We're too good to be this bad.
Some we can probably give away or pay someone to take them (Plumlee) and some veteran players on one year
contracts and who are capable of carrying us - - We need to see them gone for something of value....
To tank or not to tank, that is the question. We've gone a long way but it's not final. Not yet.

Pels better be taking a hard look at Baze and Marco.
