Will Atlanta lose this week?

He's playing

They did once in Cleveland, but that was a while ago.

They've played cleveland 3 times this season. Lost in the early season and won the last two, but both of those were without LeBron.

LeBron played in both games in Cleveland. Only missed the game in Atlanta

But is a real big though? He's 6 foot 10 just like horford so no way he can be a big man. Am I right?

Wow you're really stupid.

Anthony Davis is a 6'10 POWER FORWARD. Horford is a 6'10 CENTER. The Pelicans Center is Asik who is 7'0.

6'10 is perfect height for a PF.....6'8 is not

Think they lose to Golden State.

 

[bksballer89]

They'll need a big 2nd half comeback tonight.

down 13 at half

Sorry, you are right.
It w a s before the trade, however, so Cleveland is a very different team now.

Streak is coming to an end

 

[bksballer89]

For those who think the Hawks are not small at PF/C, look at what happens when they play a legit PF/C combo as they faced tonight in Davis & Asik.

They get dominated on the glass and struggle to get points from Milsap & Horford

Thab being out for 2 months will hurt

 

[trojanfan12]

Looks like they'll lose at least once this week.

 

[bksballer89]

2 times is likely now. Memphis is just as big but better defensively.

I'm going to say they win their home games and lose their road game

19 straight...quite the remarkable accomplishment these days...proud of our guys. also nice to see more than a couple thousand people at Phillips Arena.

Atlanta is the country's #1 fair weather fan sports market...a month ago 3/4's of the people here couldn't tell you what the name of the team was (now at least 7/16's of the people probably can - but still couldn't name one player.)

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Pelicans will end the streak tonight if AD plays.

Then they beat Washington and split with GS/MEM.

1 for 1

With that logic. Iguodala must not be a small foward at 6 foot 6 cause he's not 6 foot 8

 

[Hambombs]

Yup to pelicans. It will be a team that nobody expects llol

Hello

Ben Wallace was never a center either, he was listed at 6'9", but that may have even been a stretch. There are exceptions to every rule, however.

I don't really care for height as long as you can guard your position. It's all irrelevant to me

Small forwards is different because it is more about speed & athleticism and not about strength & power If you can't see the hawks will have trouble against teams who are big with legit size at the pf & c position you know nothing about basketball. They will be fine in the east because most of the good teams out east are just as small as they are at pf & c with Chicago being the one exception but teams like new orleans & Memphis would give them major trouble due to their size.

Last night they proved they can guard their position....asik & davis looked like a men amongst boys. Those 2 alone grabbed 30 rebounds while the entire hawks team grabbed 32.

38 & 30 for those 2 compared to 23 & 15 on 39 percent shooting.

Yep size means nothing
