Magic are playing the Wade-less Heat at home. Cant loss here. Hope to see us finish this month with a win and put these past couple losses behind us.
Does Josh keep us his stellar play??

Milwaukee is the hottest team in the NBA. It's a B2B for them, but they have the young legs that can keep up with us, and there is no telling how will come to play.

Most of our guys got to rest late in the game so the b2b shouldn't be too much of a factor. Any chance JJ can sit this one out? :D

They're the Bucks, we're the Hawks, and we're at home. We won't have trouble with them.

And you know what that will prove? Absolutely nothing. This team needs to show they can step up when the going get tough if they want to mount a challenge in the EC. No offense to Milwaukee, but beating them at Philips is not exactly a difficult task.

While I think you have the better team, you do realize how funny this comment is to fans of the other 28 teams right? We're the Hawks, and we're at home...not exactly intimidating to anyone.

To the rest of the Hawks fans, good luck tonight. I'm excited to see us match up against a very athletic team like you have. Hopefully none of your coaches try to tackle Brandon coming up the court :wink:

Good luck tonight guys.

I like you and the Magic in the east.
No Lebron or KG in the finals please.

Hoping for a win expect a loss.

I don't mean that an offense to Milwaukee. Ya'll are really well-coached team who battle for 48 minutes and it would be great to see the Bucks in the postseason. Not trying to intimidate anyone I am just stating the facts, and the fact is that we are 22-7 at home, so I don't think it's that crazy to deem this a game that we should win.

The Bucks and particularly Bogut have been playing very well. bogut has owned Horford in the past. Just because we are home that doesn't make this a sure thing, especially given the fact that the Hawks can't finish games.

Of course it isn't a sure thing. But this is a game that we can win even if we don't play especially well.

The sched really eases up over the next month, I see us going on a very nice run and taking like 10-of-12, but that will prove nothing after what we showed on Friday and the west coast trip. This team has a very long way to go if they expect to make any noise in the playoffs.

The Hawks are only 6.5 games up on the Bucks. The Hawks are closer to 9th place than they are to first.

The Hawks struggle with quick pgs and big centers that can score. the Bucks have both.

Jennings is in a big time slump since the 55 pt game. Im not worried about him bc he shoots more jumpshots than anything else. Bogut will torch us but that is to be expected.

Milwaukee is strolling in as hot as can be, but I would expect us to bounce back after failing to close Friday.

I expect us to bounce back too, but I wouldn't sell Milwaukee short. They're won six straight, and they have the type of young PG that usually goes off on Bibby due to his inability to play defense against quick, fast guards. Plus, Bogut has been an absolute monster lately, and the addition of Salmons has been pretty huge for them so far. They're confident, and on a roll, while we are coming off one of our worst losses of the year. We'll either be motivated to redeem ourselves, or come out flat with the past game still on our mind. However the game goes, I just hope that we don't have to witness another collapse in the 4th quarter because I can't take much more.

I don't think I care about this years Hawks team anymore. Their offense is unwatchable as soon as the 4th quarter starts. Marvin also never plays any crunch time minutes regardless of how bad Bibby and Crawford are playing.

Wow....Woody actually does a defense/offense substitution. If only Bibby could hold up his end of the bargain on the "offense" side of things.
