Big Dog will miss Houston game

[jaywalker72]

Hawks forward Glenn Robinson will not play Friday night against Houston because of irritation in his right elbow. His status for Saturday's home game against New Orleans is questionable.

Then I will gaurantee certain victory for the Hawks.

Big Dog is a cancer.

My prediction:

We go inside ALL night to Shareef. Who will occationally look stupid getting swatted by Yao.

We will have better offensive flow, and will look great on defense.

While this game may not be PROOF of Big Dog killing us, it won't help his case.

Play.

maybe he's getting About-to-be-traded elbow...it sure isn't Rebound elbow or Defensivescuffleitis.

JT/SAR will be forced to stepup.

I think this really ups our chances for winning that game...

start Wilks on Francis - his quickness and constant annoyance on D will be beneficial -

Maybe SAR will get more than 8 shots....I hope we go small in the backcourt tonight and put Ira at the three...interested to see that.

Yes most definitely we have a better chance to win tonight with no Big Dog in the lineup. Good call by starting wilks and JT in the backcourt tonight. But I would rather see JT at the 1, Dion at the 2 and Ira at the 3. Our Defense intensity will be much better today, and on the offensive side of the ball I actually think that spacing will be better, because the first option will be Reef, and when he is doubled team he will swing it out to the open man. I think our team will be successful tonight and if they are, look for big dog to be shopped.

Just remember.....Things don't always go as

expected.I'm sure Dan will get plenty of

playingtime tonight.Yao will get Theo and

foul trouble and punk him(well doesn't every

body).The Rockets will still win.

It's his birthday today you know.

An night off for Glenn = a night in Buckhead maybe ?

Let's see how the ball moves tonight plus Dickau / minus Robinson.
