The Good Guys

The Bad Guys

Today's game features two teams going in opposite directions. The Hawks are currently in the thick of the playoff hunt in the East while the Bucks are towards the back of the pack.

In fact reports are out that half of Milwaukee's roster is available. It looks like they are going to be showcasing some players before the trading deadline. Remember that feeling Hawks fans?

This game is the 1st in a string of 7 out of 8 road games for the Hawks. It is crucial the Hawks take one from a team they should beat.

If you're thinking the same thing I am.... Milwaukee???? Here's a little help

I know it's not like me to say this but Milwaukee seems like a pretty nice place

Seriously

I'm not kidding. Yes downtown Atlanta residents. That is what's known as grass

Seriously have you ever seen a homeless guy equipped like this in Atlanta?

Milwaukee is actually famous for beer..... really bad beer

They got more beer in Milwaukee than you can shake a sledge hammer at!

I never knew he was a High Life Man!

Pair a camera with a Drunk and you've got a recipe for disaster. Put your shirt back on Miller boy

Milwaukee is all about Big Beer and Big Women!

Relax Milwaukee they say even a Blind Squirrel catches a Nut every now and then. A lady after my heart

My advice to you Milwaukee residents.... move where the heat is

2007 Draft Watch

VERSUS

My prediction: 2nd Quarter Knockout

Viva la Hawks!

Don't have time to make a thread tomorrow so here you go.

If the Hawks blow the lead against Denver you can pin it on me!

As per usual, nice thread gsu.

This game is a little shady because they are a very good home team and we are a pretty poor road team on the second night of a back-to-back. We also already had a loss in Milwaukee if my memory serves me correctly, so there is a precedent for us being the underdogs here.

On the other hand, we are actually a much better team than the Bucks. They have a few solid scorers but no real unique threat or offensive philosophy. I'd guess the biggest matchup problem is at the point where Mo Williams can score against our AJ and Lue. Still we are a much better defensive team than them and lately our offense has been better too. If we come out with energy this is winnable but that seems to be our problem on the road. Of course if their jumpers are just falling regardless they are a tough team to beat.

I suppose things will be better this time around since they haven't played the Bucks in a while.

I think that was right after the double OT Sonics game where JJ played 50 minutes.

So tell us a little about the Bucks. What should we be expecting tonight?

we gotta keep mo williams on the perimeter. he is one of those fast point guards that can give his shooters open shots with his penetration. we make him a jumpshooter and we'll win this game easily.

I've been pleasantly suprised thus far with how Horford is handling opposing Centers.

tontoz · Post #17 » by **tontoz** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 8:59 pm

in two games against us this season Bogut has 39 pts and 21 rebounds shooting 63%.

Hopefully we can keep up our solid play from the last few games and if we do that we should win this one easy.

Yeah but we haven't played them in over a month right? Plus Pacrapulia was probably in the lineup as well.

Plus I think the Hawks' MO needs to be just run up and down the court and outscore people.

both AI and Melo had good nights yesterday and we ran them out of they gym for 3 quarters.

Let Bogut get his points and run for 105 and a W
