first of all, everyone called me crazy yesterday for playing the indy game -9 on opening day. This is the same game if you take 5 points for Home court. ATL is much better in every category except PG. NJ came off a come from behind win ysrday, flew back from washington, which isn't a big deal, but I do not see how they can possibly stop horford and smith with no lopez. Plus, they won't be able to cover the spot up shooters of ATL. I have this closer to 7.
Look, i know its the first game in the their stadium, and they're gonna be pumped as ****. But if ATL wants any chance at a shot in the playoffs, they NEED to win games like this on the road against a bottom 5-10 team.
