Here's O-Live's preview:

About the Hawks: Atlanta suffered its first loss on Sunday in Los Angeles, 118-110, when the Lakers went on an 18-0 run in the third quarter to turn a 74-70 game into a rout. The Hawks had 20 turnovers. Joe Johnson had 27 points but in the second half he went 1-for-8 from the field and Josh Smith was plagued by foul trouble, finishing with seven points, seven assists and five rebounds.

The Hawks are the first team to improve their record four consecutive seasons since Dallas did it from 1999-2000 through 2003-04. Atlanta improved from 13 wins to 26 to 30 to 37 to 47. Last season's 47 wins were the most in Atlanta since 1997-1998. Jamal Crawford is the biggest newcomer, acquired in a June trade with Golden State that shipped Acie Law and Speedy Claxton to the Warriors. Crawford is the first player off the bench and had 17 points against the Lakers. The team's top draft pick was Wake Forest guard Jeff Teague, who was the 19th overall pick. Against the Lakers, Teague had 12 points in 17 minutes.

Here's The* Brandon Roy's stat line over the first four games:

Overall: .394 fg, .400 3fg, 27 ppg

In two wins: .286 fg, .143 3fg, 18 ppg

In two losses: .500 fg, .538 3fg, 36 ppg

So, uh, let's hope for another bad night for Roy? :dunno:

*I think every proper noun in this thread should be preceded by a definite article.
 
First game at the RG for me tonight...even though the Denver game should have been my first sigh, anyways hella pumped for this game

I expect big things from rudy tonight, predicting 15 pts and 4 assists

:)
 
Miller - 0 minutes, 0 assists! :dunno:
 
This is a huge game in my mind.

A tough opponent (but not an elite team) at home. This should help answer the questions if the Blazers have won because the opponent's have played bad. I expect a hard fought game against an eastern conference playoff team . . . one that the Blazers should win.
 
Just saw Batum walk in with his arm in a sling. And had dinner next to The Human Highlight Film! Love me some 'Nique!

What's the latest word on Aldridge?

LaMarcus Aldridge said he expected to play Tuesday night after sitting out the final three quarters of Sunday's win in Oklahoma City with a bruised right knee. X-rays were negative. Aldridge said he bumped knees with Jeff Green while playing defense at the end of the first quarter.

IM expecting this to be a good game...... for the Blazers :)....... I just have a good feeling.
 
it should be a close game...hopefully there is a good link tonight, sundays sucked
 
I wonder if this game will spawn an "Oden vs Horford" debate?

It's like many people have forgotten he was the thrid pick in 07, and many folks thought he had a better rookie season than Durant.
 
any luck on a link?
 
The Hawks are the only team to beat me so far on NBA2k10. So...... bad omen?
 
NBALP is doing something really cool tonight. They have the Blazer feed on one channel and the Atlanta feed on another. I plan to switch between the two.
 
there are a billion laker vs thunder streams but i cant find one working blazers one :(
 
LOL, I'm watching the game with the free broadband league pass. I live in Gresham but it says the OKC vs. Lakers is blacked out due to restrictions, but I can watch the Portland game. NICE!
