These teams play for the third and final time during the regular season. The Pistons took the first two against this young exciting team. If the season ended today the Hawks would be the 7th seed.

Is this the 3rd game we play them this season? How many times we play them this season, seems like it's only 25% of the season thru and we are gonna play them again. Kinda funny for 2 Eastern Conference teams battling each other so frequently in this young season.

Al Horford is out for the game--the league suspended him for one game for the foul on T.J. Ford the other night. Apparently Dice is still questionable, depending on how bad the swelling might be in his ankle after twisting it in the Houston game.

dice is out...good news for J Max and i hope even good news for Amir

Going for the silver lining here?
Good for JMax and good for me too, as he's on my fantasy team. But, even more important - a ray of hope for the playing time for Amir. But knowing Flip, he'll insert Nazr to play against fast athletic team.

Is that being reported somewhere? Not that I don't believe it, I just haven't seen it confirmed yet.

Yup, he'll use our true center,that we have on the team to play against the big true centers in the league (except for when we play the biggest truest center in the league) to defend a young fast athletic team that plays a 6'9" sf at the pf position. Oh yeah baby, some serious mastermind coaching going on here.

That's called "making them adjust to us" in the coaching world.

Yeah make them adjust to our slowest, bad hands, zero offensive game, worse FT shooter........Don't get me wrong though, I like Nazr, and there are times he is an asset....although not very often...but Houston MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THOSE TIMES
