Game Thread: Atlanta Hawks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

LeBron James isn’t playing basketball on Wednesday evening and that is unfortunate for casual fans focused on the festivities in Cleveland. From an Atlanta Hawks perspective, though, there are plenty of story lines to follow and this is a great place to do just that while interacting with fellow fans of the squad.

How will John Collins look? Will the wings bounce back in the second preseason game? All that and more should be answered tonight.

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