Will the Bucks rebound from their lose at home to pick up their second win against Atlanta this season? Atlanta lost last night, too, to the Bulls.

Can we control the boards against this team?



Will Charlie have another great game off the bench?

Teams: Bucks (7-5) vs. Atlanta Hawks (5-8).When: 6, tonight.

Where: Philips Arena.

ABOUT THE HAWKS: They're looking to regain the chemistry that they enjoyed during a 7-1 exhibition season and the Hawks are showing some signs of getting their act together after suffering through a recent stretch in which they lost five of six games.

PLAYER TO WATCH
JOSH SMITH, Hawks: He went into Tuesday as the league's leading shot blocker, averaging 3.45 per game. Smith was also tied for sixth in steals, averaging 2.09 per game, and was the only player in the league to be ranked in the top 10 in both categories.

Puzzling is a good word for it. With CV having an off scoring night, we stunk, and there should be someone who can step up and pick up the slack. It's a strange NBA season so far, with teams looking horrible one night, and then unbeatable the next. It's weird to beat LA, Dallas and Cleveland and then lose to the 76ers and Hawks.

And we're getting ready to play the Knicks. For God sakes, please end the skid.

And Detroit the night after, but at least that's at the Bradley Center.
