Granger is questionable, Dunleavy is out, Hansbrough is on the shelf.....Expect Solo to go bananas.

Murphy and Rasho are not that great, but they usually do well against Josh and Al.

Ford always looks like Isiah when he goes up against Bibby, but the good news is that the Hawks have Teague and Crawford to fall back on.

i always feel that games against lesser teams are more important than good teams, because the elite teams are able to beat lesser teams on a consistent basis and that is what the Hawks need to continue to do..

I don't think Rasho is on Indy this year.

Ford has destroyed the Hawks in Phillips for years and Hibbert could give use trouble with his size. If Bibby+Horford/Zaza win their individual matchups and we keep an eye out for Murphy and Granger spotting up at the top of the key in transition then we should get the W.

Seems like its been years!!!

Well, in bball you never win all the games that you should win... but we should win this one. The Pacers have some weapons, but we have more and we defend better. This is definitely a team that we can beat with a lot of movement. Their frontcourt just won't be able to keep up with ours. Defensively, I think we have the pieces, we just need to put it all together.

Go Hawks!

Indy is shooting 69% from the field.

How does our starting PF only have 1 rebound at halftime?!?

Who's guarding Granger? Bibby?

Why has Joe already played 20 minutes?!? D@mn you Woodson!!!!

Teague looks good

HoopsGuru25 · Post #17 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 1:37 am

Hawks defense looked terrible in the 1st 3 quarters...but the offense looked good running through Josh and Al. Then the offense got a little sloppy in the 4th, but it's nice to see that they realized they had to guard somebody in the 4th.

The Hawks offense looked much better than normal tonight. They moved the ball well most of the time and didn't make the usual assortment of dumb plays. Smith played smarter and Horford was more aggressive. This was one of the best games those two have played combined.

Now, you know you need to praise Horford.....

For me that was probably the best game Horford has had since he has been here. I have been begging him to be more aggressively offensively and tonight he was.
