DALLAS (Ticker) -- After a difficult start to their three-game road trip, the Atlanta Hawks will attempt to reduce the number of winless teams in the NBA to one when they visit the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

With Tuesday's 103-79 setback at San Antonio, the Hawks matched their worst start since moving to Atlanta in 1968. The 2000-01 squad also started 0-7.

Aside from the Hawks, the Toronto Raptors (0-8) are the only winless team in the league.

Atlanta fell to the verge of establishing a new franchise low after starting fast and finishing flat against the Spurs. The Hawks held a 31-18 lead after one quarter but were outscored, 85-48, thereafter.

Al Harrington was one of Atlanta's few bright spots, finishing with 23 points and nine rebounds. However, he had five of the 18 turnovers committed by the Hawks, who had just eight assists.

The Mavericks are heading in another direction with three straight victories. They enter Thursday's action trailing San Antonio by one-half game in the Southwest Division after opening a four-game homestand with Tuesday's 83-80 win over Denver.

I will be watching this one tonight. I haven't had a chance to catch a Mavs game yet as a lot of them have been on at the same time as the Celtics.

Atlanta's offense has to be the worst in the league, so Dallas should role in this one.

Everywhere I'm reading, people are saying they wouldn't be surprised to see the Hawks get their first win tonight. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me, either. I think the Mavs are hiding a lot of weaknesses, and any NBA team has a chance to expose them.

Plz...

Nothin else left to say to that.

Well it's not that the Hawks have the talent to take out the Mavs. The Mavs are certainly the far better team. It's just that sometimes teams tend to overlook the Hawks thinking about their next game thinking they will make easy work of them. The Mavs, I believe have the Pistons after the Hawks so some of the players might have a tendency to not concentrate on tonight's game.

Marquis Daniels is starting tonight for the Mavs.

Christie is out with a sore ankle.

Howard opens with an elbow jumper, and the Hawks turn it over on the offensive end.

Nice defense by Howard on the 2nd possesion, partially blocking a Marvin Willams jumper.

Dampier continues to look lost on the floor.

LX · 11-17-2005, 06:42 PM

Dampier has turned the ball over three times already.

Both teams look absolutely terrible on offense so far tonight. The Mavs shot selection leaves a lot to be desired. The Hawks are getting good shots but not making them.

LX · 11-17-2005, 06:52 PM

Howard's doing an excellent job on both ends of the floor tonight. He has 7 of the Mavs 9 points and has played some solid defense. Diop is now in.
