Breakdown - Point Guard - I don't know who they will use to try to defend Tony, but I don't think there is anybody more incapable than Mike Bibby. Except maybe Nick Van Exel.
- Off Guard - Roger was solid last night, but Joe Johnson is pretty damn good.
- Center - Hopefully, Tim plays tonight but I don't really expect it. If not, this is at best a draw for us.
- Power Forward - Matt made a couple shots last night so maybe his shooting is turning a corner. He definitely has the edge in athleticism in this matchup. But, Josh Smith is too crafty a ball player to get out done by BonBon's sheer athuhleticsim.
- Small Forward - This is statistically a draw. I give the edge to FinDog on experience.
- Bench - I wore my George Hill jersey to the game last night and he played a few semi-abysmal minutes in the first half. The JV got his minutes in the second half. Manu?
- Coach - Pop should win this matchup, but lately, I'm not feeling him.
- Intangibles - We are in the second night of the a tough back-to-back (traveling east for an early game).
- Mojo - Does any cities pro franchises have less mojo than Atlanta?
- Winner - We'll go down by 7 or 8.
Keys To The Game - Points in the Paint - Who will score for us in the paint besides Tony?
- Josh Smith - He's a terrible matchup for us. Hopefully, he will be content to shoot from the outside.
