This is the first game of the 11 game road trip. We haven't played that well on the road and that's what we're faced with now. This will be the mark or break part of the season. If we can win some road games and finish with a respectable record we can make a playoff push. If we struggle on this road trip then we can kiss the playoffs good bye. It will also be helpful if Gordon, Kaman, or Smith will become available for the road games.

It won't be easy to come in and beat the Hawks at home. We will need a great effort from everyone and we'll need some unusual players to step up. Also the Hawks have an advantage with Joe Johnson. He is a big SG and I feel that we will have trouble guarding him. On the other hand we do have Blake Griffin and I'm sure the Hawks will use multiple guys to guard him. Put simply we need to play a great game in order to win it.

I just don't see a win here. We need a lot of our guys not named Blake Griffin to really step up on the road, and I just haven't seen it so far, especially with our injuries. Would love to be proved wrong, though!

This one is sold out. There's some questions that I have coming into this game. How will Baron's back hold up after it tightened up on him against the Bulls. How does the team respond to their lackluster performance from the prior game. Role players can step up at home, but who will emerge to help carry the load? Thornton always played great in front of his hometown crowd, will Aminu have a similar experience?

So damn frustrating. Turnovers and missed shots.

I want to see us set up Blake on the post, and then put our best shooters on the perimeter.

Gotta maintain this lead/cushion. DJ is going to have to continue with this if we have a chance here.

JJ is very busy lady, but she typically does live tweeting during games.

Nice drive by Bledsoe, but I gotta be honest...I'm not too crazy about Bledsoe/Aminu lately. They just seem so inconsistent and are turnover machines.

Seemed like we had a good start, but we didn't close the quarter well. Hawks up by 3 after the first quarter.

o ok use to be like 20 deep here. Anyway the offense looks so bad and the rookies don't seem to have the drive.

The Hawks have had a balanced effort so far, we've had 2 guys doing it all for us.
