Atlanta plays the Knicks tonight, so they will be on a back-to-back. Favorable conditions.

I want to see Hansbrough in there for at least 12 minutes to slow down Milsap or Horford, and prevent the guards from getting easy layups. I do not care if the minutes come from Jefferson, Hawes, Williams, or Zeller, the team needs a mobile, tough, inside defender and rebounder against the Hawks.

Hella nice graphics there JDR

Lamb should be back. Cliff keeps saying the second unit will be Lin, Lamb, Cody, Spencer, and "another player." I'm guessing that other player is typically going to be either PJ if he's making shots or Marv.

Missed the game last night, went to see Chvrches instead. Looks like I didn't miss much.

Anyway, good luck charm...

I don't mind if we lose, but to lose by playing Alfense, with Kemba doing the exact same things in year 4 now that he did in year 1, by KNOWING that ITS REALLY BAD to take long 2's yet take a ridiculous number of long 2's and only go 2/12 from them..... its gonna make for a REALLLY long season.

Good decision. I was a last minute bail on Yonder Mountain String Band at Visulite last night.

It only took Fox Sports Southeast 2 games to screw up the DVR listings. They have a bunch of 30 min crap shows in place of the game for tomorrow. I'll be at work until 9PM, so I am counting on the DVR not to screw up. I had to record 6 30 mins shows.

i don't remember Lin ever had a great game against the Heats, but he had a lot of good games against Atlanta Hawks ;-)

He did have great games, but has zero win in the Heat, Clippers and Thunder's homecourt.

I'm done trying to predict what will happen with the team. I won't be surprised if we win. I won't be surprised if we lose by 40. I let this team get me too worked up.

going 2-4 to start the year would be solid with that tough opening schedule. Winning just once wouldn't be the worst thing if they're competitive and moving the ball on offense. Opponents averaged 55 wins last year and 3 of them are on the road.

Lin did put up 12-9 against the Heat last season. He played very well under-control but the Lakers finally lost by an inch.

If there's no improvement of Hornets perimeter defense that gave up open three which Heat made 12 3s on 60%, Korver probably gonna have a career night

At least they won, or we'd be facing a desperate Hawk team near must win situation, that would be even worse. (also, today's game is in NY, so not only it's B2B but they're also travelling back for it.

Please win, the main problem i saw vs the Heat should be less of a concern vs the Hawks (too many good wings for us to defend.) but then again, Al vs Horford (who's shooting 3s now) scares the heck outta me.

It should.

Only guy on the team really capable of handling any of that between Millsap and Horford is Zeller.

Just hoping that our guards can keep Teague and Schroder out of the paint. That'll be where our win starts if its gonna happen at all.

Hansbrough is more capable of keeping Horford in check because he is highly mobile but also stronger than both Zeller and Hawes. They are taller but running out to the perimeter would be a challenge. Jefferson is too slow.
