Hawks Injury Report: None.
Knicks Injury Report: Eddy Curry is out. JR Giddens is out. Also of note, who is JR Giddens. Tracy McGrady's demise are great under exaggerated. He may play tonight to prove it. But he may not.
Blogging With the Enemy: One of my favorites. Posting and Toasting.
Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: I don't know. Galinari? Maybe. Eddie House? Why not. Shoot even Duhon has a chance. But definitely not McGrady.
Game Preview
The Hawks have lost four of the last five to the Knicks. How bad is that? The Knicks have lost one of the last one to the Nets in a blowout. That bad.
I mean what can you say about this game? We should win? Yes. Someone on the Knicks will inexplicably go bananas offensively? Of course. Only the Hawks can stop Al Horford from getting 20 and 10? Naturally.
I don't know what else to say. Have I mentioned I love Madison Square Garden? Because I do. Ok seriously, one interesting subplot is the Joe Johnson tryout for second option. Will Joe come out gunning? Are Knicks fans so caught up in summer 2010 that they will cheer their fourth choice to succeed against their own team? Are we all hoping Gus Johnson calls this game? Have there every been so many questions for what should be an obvious win?
But seriously Hawks, end this with eight minutes to go in the third quarter please. My DVR is almost full. Thank you.
Go Hawks!

we can get this win
I hope. Hawks need to find their happy place and inhibit it. Please play good, inspired, four-game-win-streak-and-beyond basketball.
The future has come...in the form of Jason Heyward.
c'mon cut the dude slack. He's actually trying to change his game
looking to pass first. Not having any knees left probably has something to do with that
Please Hawks
Please don’t take them lightly. For the love of Christ they had beaten us twice at home, and handed Nate Robinson some of his trade value in one game.
Go Hawks.

The things I'm least looking forward to from this game
1. Eddie House’s personal pep rally
2. The zone defense D’Antoni is likely to throw at us.

My boys actually lost to the Nets twice this year.
byw I was at the epic comeback featuring Nate a Phillips. Too bad he stayed in our conference!
why does this game scare me?
Go hawks!

Smoove's jumpers appear to be in slow motion
1. Catch ball
2. Bend knees
3. Release ball at the wrist
4. Pray it goes in
5. Scream, “Bet it hit the rim!”
no dominique!
no josh smith jump shot is a rhythm jump shot. NONE!

He looks so scared to mess up.
And I thank Woody for that. Screws with the kid’s head too much.
I hate when I have to say negative things.
Im about to OD

unbelievable. smoove has a legit right to complain

josh smith and al horford have 19 shots already
this is not looking good for my formula of feed the bigs the ball. apparently defense plays a serious component in this thing called basketball.
Jamal and bibby 1-8 - you want them shooting? They have earned their time by D?

Stinger talked to Kevin Willis about Horf?
Hawks should hire Willis as a strength and conditioning coach.
gotta run more in the second half to legitimately pull away

Noooooooo
Jamal is doable…..Stinger not even for Indecent Proposal kind of money. Lol
Bet it hit the rim!
Speaking of the Stinger
I wish they would do away with the graphics during his 3 for Stinger. He sounds really awkward trying to ad lib
Bet it hit the rim!
bless his heart

Too short to block so tap it eh

Smoove is weird...if he's hitting his jumper, he's missing his FT
If he’s missing his jumper, he’s making his FT’s
Bet it hit the rim!
its a jacque vaughn type of slump
