Barbosa is out again. Tough matchup. Robin Lopez has been playing well for quite some time now. Hopefully we commit to the defensive end.

[SAUCERY_SWEET]

We get to run, yippeee! But we do have to throw some semblance of D but more importantly rebounding. That's the key cog in this game as for most, if we rebound on an even or better scale in a run n gun type game against these guys, i like our chances a lot.

Phoenix by 3.5? They're only 5-5 since the beginning of the year in home games.

The Hawks have a great chance to get a win.

[DaDragicShow]

Hawks playing on the road while the Suns have been sizzling hot in the past 8-10 games only losing twice.

[evildallas]

Phoenix has won 6 of their last 8 (also 6 of the last 10) and should be favored at home, but we still have a reasonable chance to win. This isn't like 2 years ago when they stomped us by 33 in the desert. I like us to pull off the upset.

solid half. Smoove ballin' out of control.

Would be nice to get Craw going. He's been invisible so far.

Hes been invisible in both games since coming back. Good effort. Stay out of foul trouble and play more consistent D!

[JoshB914]

Looks like Dallas will take care of the Magic in Orlando. This would be a really nice win to pick up now.

[JoshB914]

Wow what a block by Smoove on Lopez. Too bad Marvin's clumsy ass had to fumble the ball under the basket on the break.

[ATL DirtyBird]

Robin Lopez is such a schmuck. I dont know how hes doing what hes doing. Hes impressing me along with Stat. WTF is wrong with Crawford?

[JoshB914]

Craw looks like that shoulder might be bothering him. He passed up a wide open three and then completely missed another in the last few minutes. If we could get him or Bibby going we might have a nice cushion. Of course Phoenix have to feel the same way as Nash has missed several open looks.

[JoshB914]

If someone could hit a freaking jump shot we can win this game.

[ATL DirtyBird]

I would sure like to see Joe take over to some degree. Attack this team please! Get out on the break!

[JoshB914]

Referees hate Smoove so much. I know a lot of it is on him for being an immature jerk in past seasons, but he cannot get a call while driving to the cup to save his life.

[ATL DirtyBird]

^^Some of those drives hes out of control. It seems we cant win if Crawford doesnt have a major impact. This sucks!

[ATL DirtyBird]

Stat hasnt been in the game in forever and there working us. We have scored 20 points in the second half. We are also getting out-rebounded by 15. Awesome

[JoshB914]

It was only a matter of time til they blew it wide open with us shooting the ball that way. Gotta give Phoenix a lot of credit for really competing on the defensive end.

[JoshB914]

How the hell does Bibby not get that call?! That might be the game right there

Ya that was pretty bad. Not much respect for our team when we drive. NICE
We have made some pretty bad passes tonight. Clearly not playing our game.
