I'm on the fence about this one. WE should win because the Hawks are bad but it might be closer than it should be.

I say we win a close game here.

If Arenas comes back close to full health we get a W. The Hawks are dreadful.

[One on One]

I hate the fact that this is a noon game. You never know what will happen in those, but we've done pretty well bouncing back to beat the teams we should so I expect a win.

[MJG]

Shame we can't play the bad teams every night, eh? 17-6 only four and a half minutes into the game. Pretty much everyone is looking good early, including Arenas with two swishes on two jumpers.

Haywood post watch: three attempts, resulting in a basket on a hook, a miss on a fadeaway, and a pair of free throw attempts (one made). I like it so far, but the key is not forgetting him during the course of the game.

Nice job turning a 17-6 lead with 7:30 left turn into a 18-18 tie with 4:45 left

[twinz2gether]

Well, now i know why Antawn doesn't dunk! lol.

[MJG]

15 shots (7 in last six minutes of the half!) is far too many in a half for Hughes short of him hitting 80% of them. He should never be taking more than 20 in a game, max. Take out that pathetic shooting display and we're hitting an even 50% from the field -- that's including the usual sad 0-5 Hayes performance.

[Mr. Predictable]

Brendan Haywood has really been struggling to rebound lately. What's up with that?
