After getting two wins in one night, and jumping the Nets for the 8th seed, the Hawks have some momentum heading into the playoffs.

We last played the Hawks in the beginning of the season on December 10th. This was just after our 16-4 start and they helped take us out. They sent us home with a two-game losing streak and a blow to the team's confidence. We then went something like 17-17 coming up to around last week. In other words, they were a catalyst for our free-fall earlier this season, but we regained our ground. Now its time to regain our pride and knock off this Magic killer team.

Josh Smith destroyed us for 25 points ,16 rebounds, 4 blocks, 4 steals, 5 assists. Dwight did have 18 rebounds but the Hawks held him to 14 points, 5 turnovers and 5 fouls. Our PG's were all non-factor and provided no help in slowing Anthony Johnson or Joe Johnson manning the point. Now with Bibby at point guard for the Atlanta, it should be an easier task than sticking Joe Johnson. Should be.

Forcing turnovers is their middle name and they will look to do just that against our turnover prone team. We doubled them up in the turnover column, giving them almost ten more shots in the span of the whole game.

Look for Mike Woodson to go with Josh Smith, and Man-to-Man coverage, on Dwight for extended periods of time.

I saw the link on Third Quarter Collapse that Jameer Nelson is a game-time decision to play in tonights game.
