AI is obviously out for the year. I fully expect Sam Dalembert to have 18 blocks and Lou Williams will prob go for a mere 46 points. Lets see if Josh can continue this absolute tear he is on.

Another game where we shouldn't have a problem. The Bucks game was the first of many this month where we can play like crap against and still win.

Are you really trying to compare the Sixers to the Bucks? The Bucks won 6 straight before playing us. The Sixers are on a losing streak.

We had to come from behind to beat the Bucks in OT. There aren't going to be many easy wins for the Hawks. They just blew an 18 pt second half lead to a 15 win team that only dressed 8 players.

Elton Brand won't even be traveling with the team.

Mo Evans needs to rest his entire body, so Woody needs to limit his minutes.

I really wish the Hawks would go to a zone from time to time to slow down these small guards who consistently kill them.

Louis Williams is shooting 9-9, with 23 points, and 4-4 from the line. Will he miss?

I always come away unimpressed with Eddie Jordan's teams. They all suck defensively regardless of how athletic their roster is.

I feel the BK hate welling up inside. That moron had so many high second round picks and didn't get anything for them. He passed on Williams and Monta.

Orlando is owning Golden State tonight, so we need to finish out this game strong.

Thanks for reminding me.

Like many of us here, I wanted us to draft one of them, and Billy failed us.

I didn't want Monta because he had knee problems and I believe he tested out to be the worst athlete at the combine(smh)...but Lou over Salim was a no doubter. It also looks like Blatche is becoming a beast as well.

The Hawks just have to make the 4th interesting. It is really annoying that Smith still tries to lead the break.

Josh played like garbage offensively. Hawks didnt seem to care about this game yet still won. Bench played nicely for a change and Bibby is starting to make some shots. We outrebounded the hell the out of them. Doesnt meant anything but we still did it. Golden State on Friday. Monta Ellis isnt traveling with the team, I think. Can anyone confirm this?

Good job. Took care of a below average team with relative ease like we are supposed to do. It's too bad Orlando is heating up, and destroying everyone right now, but with our future schedule, I still see us gaining a game or two on them to make things very tight.

Via yahoo: Monta Ellis(notes) has a lower back strain that kept him in Oakland as the Warriors began their five-game road trip Tuesday. He could return Mar. 11 when the team is back in Oakland. Look to the brothers Anthony – Morrow and Tolliver – for increased scoring in Ellis’ absence.

So you are correct.

Marvin is a very effective 2 way player when his confidence is up.

Crud. Marvelous had another good game and I missed it.

Not bad for the 6th option on offense.

He played confident and aggressive. It was a nice change of pace. He doesnt this almost every month. He likes to tease us.
