Sure it’s great that if we’re without Joe, it’s nice that it comes against the Nets and possibly the Raps…BUT…these are games ATL is expected to win. So the likelihood of a victory or two against these lesser opponents is higher even without JJ, but if they drop one or both of these games, it’ll really sting. (Versus if he were out for lets say a road game at Los Angeles, where the odds of winning even with a full lineup were slimmer.)

On any given night, anything goes…just look at the Knicks against us, and us against Boston.

WAR HAWKS.

I am not so worried about the Nets as i am for the Raptors. The Nets are a good young inexperienced team but they beat the Celtics in Boston and also had other good match ups vs other good teams. The loss of JJ is crucial and i hope it doesn’t end to be fatal.

I think Jamal and Teague and Zaza will get a lot of time today. Mo Evans has good games and bad games but his decision sometimes with what to do with the basketball are not the most efficient.

I sure hope JJ will play in Toronto because that game will be hard and tough to win. On the road without your All Star guy and getting his 21 points a night will cost you. I am not saying the HAWKS cant win without JJ because they can and proved it also. The bench has been a big contributing factor this season and congrats.

LETS GO HAWKS
