Preview:
Is this suddenly a rivalry? The 96-84 loss back January 11 was a physical game that turned borderline chippy at the end. The game was certainly taken seriously by the Pacers who have rocketed out of the gate to a 17-7 start so they should fully have the Hawks attention Wednesday night at Philips Arena.
Atlanta is searching for answers after a sudden three-game home losing streak in which they have fallen behind by at least 20 points in each game. With a tough February schedule ahead, the Hawks need to turn things around quickly or else risk undoing their great start to the season.
Indiana comes in having defeated the Utah Jazz 104-99 Tuesday night. Atlanta was off on Tuesday having suffered a 99-90 loss to Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns on Monday.

IDK if its a riveraly or not
But i do know that i want the Hawks to win this game more than the past three combined. They’re a bunch of posers
Pacers are playing agressive
With an excellent center, psycho T, and now having West, not to mention a 6’ 10 guard and our most disliked SF Granger. So yes they are playing aggressive, and it seems overly so with our Hawks lacking the physicality without Lion.
I think Hibbert is playing all star quality.
They should be favored, but Hawks definitely have a chance and MUST fight
Let’s Go Hawks
Our disadvantages outweigh our advantages. I want to see if Drew can adjust Smith to SF cover Granger, and Granger vs Smith in transition and PnR.
Bullyball!

Well we need an act of God to win. Pacers play fundamental size advantage, inside out basketball.

*because Frye is soft
I hope we win but we’re too small and I think counting on Marvin to cover for Smiths weaknesses (shooting, size advantage) is a fundamentally bad pair on so many levels.
but we’ll see. Maybe a Hawks pic this time will help (last time I posted Grizzlies)

This game will be better for Josh because West is a low post player...
Unlike Frye.
I hope They don’t DBL Hibbert(give him the D12 treatment)
Except Frye started the game POSTING UP on Marvin Williams. lol. Frye was bricking shots all day on Smith.
Smiths not good against power players. And I dont see him posting up David West like that pansy Frye.
We’re screwed.

Usually when you are expecting them to loose and everything to fall apart they respond
sounds like a win tonight.
sounds like a lost. David West.Psycho T.Hibbert.
Then they stick the weakest guy on Marvin. Not really a PF not really a SF.
They use David Wests size and muscle to play Josh Smith straight up. Even if Smith goes for 50 we wont win unless they double and Marvin keeps hitting 3s..

I hope the Hawks show some pride against the Pacers on their home court
We can’t let Granger and co. come in here and dictate things. If they’re gonna be overly aggressive, it’ll be time to unleash some Ivan on them.

Effort has a lot to do with it.

coordination. he lacks it. Center scoring is too unreliable nowadays. I mean look at Bynum and Perkin's and Tyson's playoff #s for their titles
Center scoring is extinct. With the new rules you need guards and forwards to score and centers to crash for bunnies,

If Josh had just paid attention
The ball was bouncing freely behind him with nobody between him and it….
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

I feel like Josh shoots a higher rate when he's not trying fade-aways.

T-Mac telling Amundson to not get his ponytail in a knot.

Amundson is a sorry excuse for center, get out T-Macs way

He's the same height as T-Mac, at best.

Josh hits better when I cover my eyes and whimper like a frightened dog.

You think Zaza is meaner than Ivan?

Hinrich fed him for that
He’s just as guilty

How sad is it that I get more pissed when Josh MAKES long jumpers?

Nice….

Josh wouldn't have traveled there if he hadn't been thinking about the jumpshots he's been hitting...

17 points on 7-9 shooting in 22 min should by him some breathing room
Ivan Johnson - the new Xavier McDaniel
Is that Rose Royce?
That reminds me…I need to hit a car wash.

We didn't have a back-up plan
The entire play was designed to feed JJ at the elbow, regardless whether it was there or not.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Alpha Centauri, since it was Kirk
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

If Josh was 0-2 on three and 1-3 on free throws, as would be more typical...
Then this is a 2 point lead.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Josh posts up Paul George. See half these small forwards in the league are pansys,
Really like that 1-2 Pick at the top of the key, gets Joe vs a small guard. Teague vs a slower guy
