Game Thread: Atlanta Hawks vs. Miami Heat

The Atlanta Hawks are in action this evening, as the Miami Heat play host for the preseason opener. Because it is (very) early in the process, it might be tough to deduce much from the first refereed action but, in the same breath, it is basketball and we like basketball.

During each and every game this season, we will have a game thread to discuss whatever is taking place on the floor and we hope you will join us early and often.

Stay tuned throughout the evening for all the latest and, as always, let's keep the discussion civil in the comments.
