Lue has been on a tear lately. In four of his last five, he's put up ...

27 points (11-19 FG)
25 points (8-14 FG)
29 points (11-15 FG)
27 points (10-18 FG)

... still, Atlanta is Atlanta. Those 52 losses are no joke. No excuse for losing this one, even if we are not at total health.

i think we'll win by ten

105-95

[One on One]

No excuse here. We should be motivated with to get off to a good start with 7 of our next 8 on the road.

I can't believe Lue actually started over Larry Hughes

[MJG]

We are playing pretty much as perfectly as we are capable of in the opening half-quarter. 16-6 right now, and we couldn't be making it look any easier. Yes, I know, it's Atlanta, but I'll take it wherever I can get it.

Man, how appropriate is this Buckhantz quote ...

"Eddie Jordan sees something out there he doesn't like, so he's going right to Michael Ruffin."
