I'm a Mavs fan and I think this will be a defensive game. Mavs have held all opponents under 100 points since the trade and the Hawks are an excellent defensive team as well. Probably gonna be lower scoring. Caron still might be out with his allergic reaction to medication and Dampier is still out until his dislocated finger heals. Would be amazing if Dallas could somehow steal a victory against Atlanta in Atlanta. Hawks look really good this season though. Jamal Crawford is unanimous 6th man of the year.

How do you guys feel we matchup with the Mavs with and without Caron and Damp?

Caron might not play and Damp is definitely out.

Caron will play

GO HAWKS GO!!

Haywood will kill the Hawks inside because Dirk will pull the other big away from the post. Gonna need something from Zaza tonight.

Whats the difference between the dynamic of Dirk and 'Wood and 'Tawn and 'Wood? I'd take the trade off of the better shooting Dirk over the better rebounding 'Tawn. Agreed Zaza will be needed but I would also like a repeat of the game Joe Smith had against them earlier in the year.

Jamison is not a better rebounder than Dirk. That being said, you will see a different team tonite. Go Mavs....

Did this thread really just say they'd rather have the Tawn Haywood over Dirk Haywood, cuz Jamison is a better rebounder? Really? Really? WOW. Ok.

An embarrassing number of Marion dunks in that 16-0 run. Six scoreless minutes as well. Nothing is going right tonight.

It looks like it's time for the old "Who will HMFFL root for?" game.

I keed.

Watching Horford pretend he has a back to the basket game is like listening to someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard.

Nice. 15 straight misses. Good to see. Sure would be nice to see us a run a little. Hope this doesnt get ugly like the San Antonio game

You know things arent going well when Horf has 9 FGA's in the first 18 minutes.

And just like that it's a whole new game.

Last year if we got down by 14 early we would of conceded. Mavs shooting 13% points higher than us and were tied.

I got whiplash watching that comeback it happened so fast.

Smith with 5 steals already. JJ continuing his Feb roll.

Josh seems to make a pass every couple games that makes my jaw drop

Right now the Hawks have 23 assists and only 6 turnovers.
