WHO: Atlanta @ Orlando
WHEN: 7pm
WHERE: No TV, Hawks Radio Network (should any station preempt coverage of the pre-season game I suggest NBA Audio League Pass)
Injury Report: Speedy Claxton is expected to miss the game. I guess it would be too much to expect Claxton and Tony Battie to be healthy concurrently.
Not much news in anticipation of tonight's pre-season opener. Sekou Smith explains why he will be watching Al Horford, Josh Smith, Othello Hunter, and Acie Law IV closely.
Mike Woodson, once again, really wants to win pre-season games:
"Just win baby. It’s time to play, man. Some people view preseason game as something to get players in shape and get ready for the season. To me, it’s huge in terms of using that time to bond and get used to doing things in a winning way. I don’t think you can do it any other way. You have to play to win."
106-222.
Ben Q. Rock of Third Quarter Collapse and I exchanged questions and answers about respective teams. My answers to his questions are here. His answers to my questions are after the jump.
