Early line has us favored by 7.5 with an o/u of 193.5. Not sure about that line. We've not be strong on the road nor have we been blowing out people. Washington's coming off a big win, but can they string 2 together? I like us but not to cover that spread.

The Hawks should just start resting players if they are just going to go through the motions again.

Yes. cant wait to watch McGee turn into Hakeem. He always goes for 20+ pts and 10+ rebs with a couple emphatic dunks and blocks.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

By game time the spread dropped to Atlanta by 6 with o/u of 193 (although some places have it higher).

Young is going Kobe on us.
Will someone find out Joe Smihts jumpshot % please? He makes that about as often as Josh does. Hes so unproductive.

Poor reffing.
Why dont we go pick and roll with Smoove more often?
The Hawks give more open looks and easy baskets than any team in the league.

Because he can't shoot jump shots.

I dont want him to pop. Strictly roll. It just seems that whenever we go to that Josh is to find an open guy.
McGee's offensive game is funny. Hes to athletic for his own good.

Damn Za. His head bounced off the court like a basketball.
Finally a road win and some semblance of 4th quarter execution.

Detroit beating both the Hawks and Heat really made this race more complicated than it had to be. I'm not sure if I want the Celtics to lose tonight.

You want the Celtics to win. Right? I think id rather see the Bogut less Bucks rather than the Wades. I think. Next game should tell us something.

It's complicated. You want the Bucks to lose AND the Celtics to lose, but, unfortunately, they play each other twice.

Best case scenario:

Miami wins out.
Milwaukee "loses out."
Boston loses to Chicago.

Glad to see us actually win one on the road. Big games from Jamal, Mo, Zaza, and Joe. Credit to Woodson for sticking with the hot lineup in the 4th.

As far the Celtics vs Bucks, I'm torn. I think we need the cushion to get 3rd, so I guess I want Milwaukee to win. If the Bucks lose I think we still may get Miami by sliding to 4th while the Bucks slide to 6th. Too complicated to worry about.

This Milwaukee and Boston 4th quarter is hilarious.

Pretty easy to cover the PNR when you know the screener is only going to cut to the basket and never step outside for the J.

Jamal Crawford 5-6 3-pointers, nice.

Shaun Livingston has been looking very good lately and I wish we had originally signed him to a ten day contract.

Atlanta:
Fast Break Pts 15
Points in the Paint 44
Biggest Lead 13

Washington:
Fast Break Pts 12
Points in the Paint 36
Biggest Lead 6

Boston actually came to play tonight against Milwaukee.

Skiles was about to kill someone. That quarter was awesome.
Glad Boston won though.
