Fast backcourt for the Warriors. That always means problems for us. We should still be able to win on sheer firepower though.

To Woody: This is as good a game as any to...

FREE TEAGUE!

Should be an entertaining game and I think GSW will hang at home. I'd like to see us pull away late though and win comfortably.

They give up a TON of wide open shots, a perfect spot for Bibby and Craw to get back on track.

Orlando wins. Boston loses.

The Boston loss isn't surprising as Denver plays up for high profile opponents and it was the 3rd game in 4 nights for the Celtics. Orlando beating Cleveland is interesting. Offensively Jamison had a good night, James had a good night, Shaq had a good night, but the guards stunk the joint up. Orlando hit their threes, but not an outrageous rate. I find it shocking that Ryan Anderson go a DNP - Coach's Decision. He's been money against us.

With a win we become tied for 3rd.
Not a bad matchup except for Monta and maybe Curry. Keep Biedrins and Turiaf off the boards and we should handle business. Would be nice to see Jamal and Bibby be a little more agressive. Go Hawks!

Hard to imagine GS playing any better than they already have, yet we're leading by 2.

It's nice to have this kind of talent.

We need to get Curry in more foul trouble. It might be a key to winning tonight.

Would sure like to see Josh get a nice oop to energize a team.

One of the few times youll hear an announcer say the Hawks are using the size and strength.

Josh is 2-7 from FT line tonight. I think he was 4-4 or 6-6 on Friday. Frustrating. Better effort this half.

Josh needs five more assist for his third triple double of his career.

4. Horford running the floor and finishing like a man. Curry is so much better than I thought hed be.

It seems like the Hawks go out there way not to score to start the 4th quarter sometimes.

I don't know who's reading this, but did anybody notice that, while we were KILLING them inside, Woodson switched to iso-Joe ... RIGHT BEFORE this GS run?

Right now would be a good time for Joe to demand the ball instead of running from it.

It is hard to be and elite team when your starting pg is a garbage can on both ends.

Where is Joe Smith?

The Hawks are such a stupid team. If you move the ball vs the Warriors you can get plenty of easy shots but they are going out their way to force feed JJ.

Agreed. This is a replay of the last game we played vs the Knicks with Curry playing the role of Robinson.
