I'm expecting a exciting game here. We should win this game, but this team is full of heart behind the baggage, so I'm looking forward to this match up, and the Knicks have a bright future.

There is no way to predict this game.

If the Knicks and jumpshots are on, using THAT offense, you aren't going to beat them. Good thing is they are off more nights than they are on. You also will never really be out of the game, but if they come out like they did on Golden State the other day, ew. They can be tough or they can be pushovers...no telling what happens at all.

Alot like playing the Warriors.

I'm seeing JJ dropping hot baskets on this one. And this game will also rain 3's from both teams with a combination score of 200+.

Just found out that I can't go to the game tonight because of surprise visit from out of town. Putting my 1 ticket up for grabs. First responder with their email address in this thread will get it (as long as you're a Hawks fan). Sorry no parking pass, the Hawks system won't let those be emailed. Just print the ticket and go.

Oh and yes, it's free you just have to support the Hawks. It's also about 15 feet from the end of the Hawks bench 120 HH.

Still no taker for the ticket. Post that you want it and your email address (you can delete it from the post after you get the ticket) and I'll email the ticket right away.

I can't recall the Hawks being that big of a favorite all season.

oh no, not ajc.com. im sure your cool though. But man, most of those posters on ajc.com know almost nothing about the Hawks or basketball. I cant read it, if you aint a real fan and barely follow the team then dont post on the internet. but Im not talking about you Jerrywest. Welcome to the board. and have fun at that game.

i think if we can crash the boards well enough we should have this. The knicks rebound much better than us, but we shoot near the same percentage. Our defense is much better though too, with Smoove back this should be a game we can win easily, in my opinion. But the Knicks can still pull it off. they are better offensively so our D has to be strong or else its gonna be hard.

AJC has a few good posters, but most of the posts are garbage. Hard to read. No flow. Hawksquawk is pretty good though.

It should be an easy game tonight, but knowing the hawks, we always find a way to make it close. Knicks players are not used to each other yet.

Hope I didn't miss the window with jerrywest. I'll keep checking every half hour or so until around 6:30pm then I won't be near a computer, so email soon.

EDIT -
I emailed at 6:18pm. Hope you get it in time. Go Hawks. I've got to leave now. If it doesn't make it in time then maybe we'll have better luck the next time I can't make a game.

If you like good defense, then I suggest you stay far away from this game. I agree with some of you said..this game is pretty much impossible to pick. We are the better team, but the Knicks have had several games where they've been hot, and when they are, they can beat anyone. They have also had several games where they couldn't hit the side of a barn if they were standing in front of it. It is very nice to have Josh Smith back. You could already tell how important he was last game, even vs Memphis. He had 4 blocks, scored in double digits, and had around 6 boards. He is the reason we lost to the Raptors..Chris Bosh was scoring at will, and we needed a guy like Josh for that game.

I know its early but were done for if we dont play some transition defense and start getting up in there faces on jumpshots. This Knick team can score no doubt.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.
