..the Hawks have a big road trip to get ready for. No mention of Portland.

Hmmm...perhaps, they may be overlooking us? It'd be nice.

 

[julius]

well, don't they have a road trip coming up?

Well, of course. That said, you might expect him to say something such as, "We have a game against the Blazers to prepare for, then it's on to a long road trip. " You know, something of that nature.

Again, no mention of the Blazers......and I'm perfectly fine with that.

I'm more concerned with how the Blazers prepare for the Hawks game.

As well you should be. Never hurts to have a team overlook us a bit, though. At least, not in my book.

Hawks have been wildly inconsistent like us. Wonder what team will show up on Wednesday.

That said, they're 6-1 at home and 10-4 overall. Gonna be a tough, tough game.

Without Horford, I'm optimistic.

Prepare to throw that optimism out the door once the game starts. Ha!

Without Horford, I'm optimistic.

I would love to feel that way but we have a nasty track record of losing to teams that are missing their keys players. Drives me nuts.

We also have a nasty track record of laying some stinkers in Atlanta. I don't think we have won down there since Trav hit that wild bank shot in '07.

Was I wrong? Tonight will decide...

The Hawks have won 3 in a row since losing Al Horford Wednesday for at least 3 months.
They look to extend their winning streak over Portland to 6 games in Jamal Crawford's return to Atlanta.

The bank shot was against Memphis.

This is the shot you're thinking of (the last highlight of the video):
