Blazers vs Atlanta Hawks

If we can't win this game then the Blazers are probably facing the worst season they have ever had. The Atlanta Hawks are 4-18. Only New Orleans is worse at 2-19.

Shareef is questionable for tonight's game and that is a shame. I am sure he would like to show Atlanta what they gave up. Although, in light of our season it is not going to pack much of a punch, so maybe he would rather sit on the bench! I would like to think we could win without him so he can be fresh when we get to Detroit Saturday. This is the second set of back to backs for the Blazers this road trip. Detroit will require energy both physically and mentally due to the Rasheed factor. Let's hope tonight is an easy win that will serve as a stepping stone to a win in Detroit.
