Hawks 2-point Dog at home...

[TexasPete]

The line opened with us a 1 point favorite and the money went crazy for the Hornets. We are a 2 point dog at home tonight.

As a favorite we are now 3-2 but as an underdog we are a lousy 3-6. Essentially, when the other team is better we usually lose.

let's buck the trend and get a win. This game is big because its at home and we exit the game either just 1 under .500...or a poor 3 games under.

Well we are an up and down team. Down against Chicago and up against Milwaukee, so I guess the bettors figure we are due for a down night. Personally, I don't agree. My main concern is who will slow down CP3. We need to get off to a good start shooting the ball tonight.

If I had to bet I'd take the Hawks though.

[TexasPete]

I'd take the Hornets because we have trouble with the elite and penetrating PG's. CP3 will give us fits.

We can win but we need our "A" game for sure.

The only reason Atlanta can't win 'em all - - ?

Chris Paul

We've heard much to much about the draft. We know how

the Hawks were blown away by Dominique's nephew ran

wild, trying to prove to Atlanta that he should be

a Hawk.

Same here. C.P. desperately wants to make the Hawks

look bad because they passed him in the draft.

He'll run thru the Hawks like water thru a sieve. He

will be stopped, therefore he will drain 8 or 10

threes in a row. Having his team so far ahesd they can't

even see the Hawks in their rear view mirror, he will

then be content to spend the next three quarters handing

out 25 assists each quarter.

Finally, late in the fourth quarter, Atlanta gets their

first point as Marvin hits a teck. foul called on C.P.

for showboating. Then, the clock runs out.

Leading scorer for Atlants - - M.W. with 1.

Hawks are a yoyo. They are up and down. We were up

their last game. Time for a downer?

I was just about to start a thread about Paul. I hope people don't start crying when he looks like Steve Nash against us tonight.
