6-7? No 8-5. Tonight will be a good test against a fellow 8-5 team and our first against the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, Grayson Allen is out with a quad contusion. Watch out for Jalen Johnson as he's been on a tear. Let's sic Dunn on him. The Suns are on a five game winning streak while the Hawks have won four in a row. Something is going to give tonight. Suns. Hawks. Next!

A lot of athletes, Okongwu is an active big, Dyson Daniels is a top notch defender, NAW's been putting up decent numbers in Trae's absence, Porzingis can go off, Rischacher is another 6-11 scorer, Vit Krejci had a big game off the bench. Should be a good test with their size.

You're missing their best athlete. Jalen Johnson is a load. Maybe my favorite non-Sun. He put up a 31-18-14 triple double last game with 7 steals.

You are just making up names now.

Probably because I mentioned him in the OP.

Yea Jalen Johnson is a stud, he'll be at the top of the scouting report. Just don't want us losing track of the others.

Blown out? I hope not. I haven't followed Atlanta but it sounds like based on what you've seen from them, they are far superior to us. Fingers crossed you're wrong.

It's gonna be a tough game tonight. Hawks have size and great defenders. Got to watch the passes and gang rebound for sure.

I think if the Suns score more points than the Hawks they will win.

Suns all out of sorts, Hawks are disrupting everything and no one's really knocking down shots. Good news is the Hawks are shooting just as poorly so it's still pretty close. If a few guys can get hot we'll be right there. Wish Book would be more selfish with everyone else cold.

Book with some bad Book-type TOs near halfcourt getting pressured. He's either gotta make his move or get it to a teammate. He's not CP.

Hawks up 13 and doing to us what we've been doing to other teams - physical, sticky defense and moving the ball for 3s and layups. We're just a step slow, ball isn't moving and shots aren't falling. 4 minutes left in the half so need to keep it close.

checks score and up one at half time... the stars are "aligning"?

Ryan Dunn an athlete. Brooks really drove that run to end the half. Tons of offensive rebounds. Our shots weren't falling and up 1 at the half. Gillespie carrying us for stretches. Love this team.
