Heading into the playoffs tonight, Van Gundy will slightly reduce the minutes of the big three. Hedo, Dwight, and Rashard need to be fresh and ready for the playoffs. But I think it's very important to keep them in rhythm and ready for the playoffs this weekend.

The Hawks’ final home game will be a celebration, as they face the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, one day after Atlanta secured the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

Even though the recent games have been largely meaningless to the Magic, we still have not played up to Playoff standards. Tonight we have to get it going and show the league we are for real. The Hawks game tonight is a great matchup because we regularly have trouble with them so this game is perfect. Time to show themselves and the NBA that the Magic are here to stay among the elite teams in the East.
