Game Thoughts

The Hawks will try and bounce back tonight from Wednesday’s loss to the Toronto Raptors. Both teams come into the game with injury concerns. For the Hawks Joe Johnson has missed the last two games and as of this writing is still questionable for tonights game. The Bobcats Gerald Wallace is expected to return from an injured ankle tonight against the Hawks. Former Hawks Nazr Mohammed has missed a string of games with a sore back and is not expected to play tonight.

There are lots of things going on with the Bobcats. They are coming off of a 100-92 home victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Bobcats are poised and in position to make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. However, the biggest news is that the Bobcats franchise has a new principle owner in Michael Jordan.

Tonight’s game is a possible first round match up for the Hawks and I am going to be lucky enough to be in attendance so I will get to take a close up look at the game.
