Game Thoughts

The Pistons come in losers of their last ten games and are the perfect example of a team just playing out the string of the regular season. Still as any paranoid Hawk fan can attest it is teams like this that scare us to death. The fact is if the Hawks focus just a little effort tonight then the Pistons will probably go away early. You let them hang around and they will do their best to put a halt to this losing streak. The Hawks need this victory to help push that lead over the Celtics out and give themselves some breathing room.
