Will they be out for revenge after blowing a 10 point lead in about 90 seconds and the final nail in the coffin on this Chriss block?

Need a Hawks win.

Let's play solidly like we have in recent losses to Portland, New Orleans and OKC and lose please.

They played pretty well their last two, beating the Pacers by 5 and losing to the Warriors by 5. John Collins is another rookie playing well. 32 pts on over 80% shooting, 15 reb, 4 assists, 3 blocks and hit his only 3 pt attempt in his last two games.

I knew Memphis were going to lose to us as they may lose 30 in a row.

Atlanta has some experience and home court so think it'll be close.

According to the bookies the Suns are again an underdog as with the Grizzlies, so it's not saying much.

Good opportunity to scout Dedmon.

I think that we are gonna win this one because they do not have Belinelli and Ilyasova anymore. Solid starting five but they seriously lack depth.

I actually expect us to win this one but I would have expected them to be favored. They are at home and we do have a worse record and almost twice as bad of a pt differential and are 1-9 in our last 10 and they are 3-7.

Of course we are much better with Payton and with Jackson stepping up as of late, but we've still only beaten Memphis who has lost 13 in a row and has zero interest in winning, and seems to really want to lose.

The Hawks also just beat Indiana and only lost by 5 to GS.

I still kind of expect us to win though.

Bazemore is being rested. What a coincidence.

Hawks want to lose this badly, and they will.
We will not be in the top 5 by the end of the year.

Per Gambo....

-Josh Jackson and TJ Warren bumped knees in practice and are out...

-Booker has the Flu....

-Elf suffered a gash on his head while getting a trim at supercuts....

-The Suns have brought Archie Goodwin up from the D league to fill in....

-Alex Len somehow cloned himself??? Per a loophole in the league rules, we can play both clones....

Thus tonight's starting lineup

PG Goodwin
SG Ulis
SF Dudley
PF Len
C Len

Should be an even game. We might still win this one.

Bazemore has played 3 games in 3 weeks and gets a rest.

Memphis, Atlanta, Sacramento have a similar policy with veterans so seem intent on the tank.

If we win our head to heads against them that'll put us 2-3 games clear and battling it out for 4th.

There are sooo many games until the end of the season that we are gonna lose for sure (three against GSW, two against CAVS...) not bad to be a favourite for once.

Glad Bender is looking to get shots up. Result hasn't gone his way, but at least you know he realized last game was unacceptable. Quese has been pretty energetic, still making some dumb mistakes though. Could have easily dumped the ball off to JJ at the end of that quarter, but instead he turned into traffic and got swatted. JJ is so smooth though, not a lot of 6'8" guys are splitting defenders off the dribble like him.
