Hawks / Cats under 185
The Cats play host to the Hawks in what could be the worse game on the schedule tonight. The Hawks let another close game slip right out of their hands. I don't know what to make of this squad one night they look like world beaters and take it to Miami in Miami and get up dd's in Chicago and blow that game. I can't make out what they are doing out there.They don't seem to have a low post presence and like the tnt cast said last night what does Josh Smith do well? They are right I can't seem to figure it out what it is. The Hawks rely heavily on perimeter shooting and for JJ to create off the dribble or in the post. He just hasn't looked like himself to start the season. It could be all them dollars holding him down ,but he needs to get it going if his squad is going to have a chance at getting homecourt for the first round.On the other side of the ball the Cats have been who we thought they were not very good, but if taken lightly can come up with big wins. Just ask the Knicks about it. These Cats seem to be different then years past their defense stinks this year, but their offense seems to be alot better with most of their games going over the total. So why such a low total this game. The Hawks are coming off a hearbreaking loss and will be playing their 4th set of b2b's. I expect their shots to be short from them tired legs and Drew is going to have to find a way to keep his guys fresh with 4 out of 5 startes playing 40+ minutes. The Hawks were number 1 in defense coming into last nights game I expect them to get back to that tonight vs a Cats team that doesn't have alot of offensive firepower..Look for a lil bit of hangover for the Cats after a huge win in MSG and for the Hawks to get back on track after 2 tough losses..Like the under in this one!
Good luck
