Recent meetings against Charlotte: Blue ='s wins.

03/06/09 CHAR 98 - ATL 91
02/06/09 CHAR 97 - ATL 102
12/15/08 ATL 83 - CHAR 79
11/21/08 ATL 88 - CHAR 83

03/28/07 CHAR 101 - ATL 87
01/20/07 CHAR 104 - ATL 85

Denver is favored to win tonight by 1 point at Miami. I hope they do nothing but run throughout that game.

Washington favored to win by 1 point at Indiana.

Detroit at Orlando is off the board but Orlando should be highly favored to win with Rip & Tayshaun Prince out.

Interesting that the games are close despite Atlanta being way better.

I think you guys have a great team, and an incredible bench. It will be interesting to see if the Bobcats can keep up the defensive intensity (they are 2nd in the NBA and 1st in forcing turnovers and 1st in rebounding). Unfortunately we are dead last in all offensive categories. Hopefully we can score some as well to give you guys a good game.

I truly hope that this game resets our defense and get's us back into a routine of playing at a slower pace. Sure 5th in offense is nice but 17th in defense will not get it done.

Not me. I want to force Charlotte to run!

We need this win tonight. Orlando is basically a lock to win tonight and we could end up being the only other divisional team to win. Time to capitalize!!

I prefer the faster pace. Playing at a slow pace gives you better looking points against, but doesn't mean better defense. I'd like more consistent defense effort leading to pushing the ball.

My only hope is that Joe plays sub-35 minutes tonight.

We should use this game as an opportunity to play Teague for 25 minutes or so, and give him a chance to work on his defense against the worst offense in the league.

Get the Hornets down early, and let's save some of the minutes for Denver on Saturday.

If possible, use our bench early tonight.

Another Australian hawks fan here. Have been reading this forum for too long without writing. Looking forward to watching Flip play again. Hopefully Teague gets good playing time tonight.

The Hawks have 100 percent half-assed it in the 1st half vs Indiana,Sacremento,and Charlotte. No other way around it.

It would be so traumatic if the Hawks played Teague more than 5 minutes. The Hawks starters are playing so well.

Goddamnit this team always packs it in against bad teams, I don't understand why they couldn't at least PRETEND to give a damn and stop just launching jumpers.
