Last game before the All-Star break. Thank God!
The Hawks are having a good season as far as Atlanta Hawks standards go. They’re currently seeded 4th in the Eastern Conference and are headed into the All-Star break with their best record since 1998-99 season.
Meanwhile our Pistons are having a real stinker of a year so far where Detroit Basketball standards are concerned. We’re seeded 5th behind the Hawks in the East and are having our worst first half of the season since 2001-02.
Here’s to hoping the Pistons play a little perimeter D tonight and not just let Mike Bibby walk right into open three points bombs like he did back in the early December meeting.
