10 Dec 2007: Hawks 98, Magic 87 |
This game is one we can't take lightly. The Hawks may be 10 games below .500, and they may be just 4-8 since acquiring Mike Bibby, but they always play us tough. Joe Johnson seems to be coming around a bit after a slow start to the year, averaging 26 points per game in his last five, including outbursts of 38 and 39 points. Mo Evans and Keith Bogans can slow him down, though. I think.
Other commitments beckon, so I have to cut this preview short. The Orlando Sentinel reports that Jameer Nelson is a game-time decision due to a sore right foot. For more on tonight's game, check out the previews at Bold 'n' Blue and Orlando Magic Blog.
