HUGE game!!
Trend right now is going 6-2 / 8-games, Hawks are currently 5-2 in this second set of 8. Not to mention, next block of 8 games is worst of the season.
A 'W' keeps them on trend, keeps the confidence rolling for the upcoming gauntlet, gets them to 12-4 and ranked 23-25th. As mentally inconsistent as this team can get, an L + the next 8 games could become a dirty snowball.
I've got Hawks 69-66, with Whitey & Gabe shooting 25+ throws, Uthoff with a double-double and Mikey being the surprise 'X' factor -- winning the head-head against Trice (who fouls out).
