If Bazemore and Teague are still out we are flat better than what is left. I don't know if we can pay Ben enough to actually stick to Korver like glue since he basically refused to cover him at the 3pt line last year, but if we can just keep that x-factor down and there's no foul trouble foolishness with Boogie its a totally doable win. Biggest danger would be our PGs letting Schroeder slice and dice us.
Right now the Hawks are wounded and actually were running a big lineup with Milsap at SF vs., the Nets, so we'll need our bigs on their bigs.
And really, Ben is ridiculous sometimes. There is not a reason on earth why he can't smother Korver with his athleticism. none. If I had Ben's size and athleticism Korver would be wearing me. This is entirely about Ben's head. He can handle that assignment.

Simply put, if we fancy ourselves a playoff team, playing against this ATL team when they went down to the wire last night in BK, while we're coming off two days off, is a must win.
Especially when it's the first of a back to back for us. Got to get the first one.
Too a certain extent, and it's understandable given how crap we've been for years, we spend a lot of time dissecting other teams and our chances. But point blank, this is just a game we have to win, no matter the specifics. Point blank, if we play near our potential on both ends, we're 5-7 later today.

Pride goeth before the fall!
We are on the road, had a few days off and could be rusty..... Hotlanta is depleted, but I will never underestimate the ability of this team to self sabotage and blow it.
I will be equally unsurprised with a win or loss tonight.
It will be a good test of the team's newfound focus and energy either way.
So go Kings!

This will be a big test for our defense. We left the Warriors open ALL GAME and just got really really lucky that they were missing. We can't leave their shooters open, and they move a LOT on offense. If we can put out effort defensively we have a good shot at winning this game. Also hope Boog can get their big men in trouble. They are going to have trouble with our length down low.
