GS is favored by 2 points.
I'm looking forward to this one.
I wish I could attend it.

Can't.....wait! Doesn't feel like a regular season game, huh? I'm looking forward to the atmosphere tonight. Will have the feel of a huge playoff game.

Come on....the Clippers only lost by 50 to the Cavs on TNT last night. Don't you want to see them again on ESPN tonight??

In a way I'm still good with Sportssouth, 2 espn games were shown and had Barry calling( I'm sure Hubie or JVG would do this one)

ESPN is a joke. ABC is also showing Lakers Cavs on Sunday instead of us vs. Memphis.

As for the game, this would be a massive statement win.

Warriors fan here.

Who are the big guns off the Hawks bench?

"big guns" - none really. We typically keep members of the starting 5 on the court as we rotate through the bench. Just gives continuous different looks.

Still, as far as the bench, Thabo would probably be considered our 6th man, but he's hurt and out for a while - as is Shelvin Mack. That means Schröder is the backup G and your old pal Kent Bazemore is the backup wing. Both can be hit or miss, but when they are on, each can be special to watch. Where our depth is really impressive is on the low block though. We can play 5 bigs and all of them can hit from the outside. Horford and Millsap are the headliners and the AS, but Pero, Brand, and Scott can give some quality minutes. Scott is more dependent on his shot for his contributions to be quality but the other 2 are heady all around vets who can make an impact in other facets. Sometimes we only play one of Pero or Brand and let the other rest though - I wonder if we'll do that tonight and, if so, who it will be.

EDIT: Shelvin Mack is apparently back. No idea what his role will be... prolly #3 PG / #5 G.

Our intro always gets me hyped.

Good thing about no thabo. If we win we can claim we are way better, if we lose we can blame it on injuries.

Looks like the refs are gonna let both teams get pretty physical tonight

Nice run in the third so far.

That should have at least been a flagrant. Pulling him down by his arm like that trying to injure his pec again.

Got Pero by the jersey and he pushes you off...foul

Workman is horrible

We were getting fouls due to us being in the lane.
