Weird line, I've seen a couple casinos with it as PK or 0, a couple casinos with it Portland by 1, and a couple with it Atlanta by 1.

A little touchup on the initial post, we're 18-19 and 13-8 at home and they are 6-4 in last 10.

Must win considering we have the next 5 on the road.

We're 17-19 and 12-8 at home. You may still be counting the Miami game.

Looking forward to this game. The way we are playing Portland may blow us out, but if we can play like the good Hawks then it should be an exciting game. We matchup pretty good with them. I'm just worried about them draining a lot of three's against us like every other team.

This is a big game. We need to get a W before we go out west. We also need to come ou with inensity as road teams often come out lethargic for an afternoon game.

Portland is one of the top 3 pt shooting teams in the league so we have to guard the line well.

Interesting note about Smiths jumper. This could just be a fluke but over the last 10 games Smith is 14-30 on long jumpers inside the 3 pt line. Of course he is still terrible from 3, but if he could hit from 15-18 feet consistently that would be a huge step for him.

I've noticed that too, Tontoz. A big reason for it is that he is focusing on getting those points in he pain and then he rest of his game is coming along fine.

Anyone know when the game's going to officially start? I'm watching on LP Broadband and just getting a long infomercial.

The game has already started which I'm sure you're aware of by now.

Yeah I don't know what the deal is with this, but it's really getting annoying. I wanna watch the game!

Sorry about the record. It is what I get for using ESPN. Good start, but I'm not sure if their cold shooting is something we can take credit for.

Dang--I was hoping you guys could give me play by play since the Portland guys were having problems with the feed. Now Gamecast is locked up, too. Grrrrr!

This slow start in shooting was what I was affraid of.

Good luck Hawks fans. Should be a great game

4 point swing on that moving screen.

We didn't play well in that qtr and we have a nice lead. Nice work by T Lue as well off the bench. Although he kind of screwed Zaza on that illegal screen.

i want to watch the game, i hate you LP broadband

you broadcast the wrong channel, then instead of fixing it, you just turn it off

this blows

go hawks!

Nice play to end the quarter by Lue/Zaza. We gave them a free shot to end the quarter and they take advantage.

Dumb mistakes like that add up by the end of the game.

Good defense so far though.
