TIP-OFF: 7pm (EDT)

TELEVISION: Fox Sports South

RADIO: Hawks Radio Network, Audio League Pass

GAME NOTES: Hawks/Wizards

ATLANTA INJURY REPORT: Jason Collins is officially a game-time decision. Unofficially, that decision has little to do with the health of his right foot about which I hope for nothing but the best.

WASHINGTON INJURY REPORT: Josh Howard and Randy Foye are out.

OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Truth About It, Bullets Forever

PREVIOUSLY, THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS...beat the Celtics 106-96 last night in Boston. It was much appreciated and Washington's fourth win in their last six games.

The Hawks have played and beaten Washington three times this season. Twice in Atlanta: 100-89 on October 30th and 94-82 on January 13th, and once in Washington: 105-99 on March 11th.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
