Blazers have struggled over the last few games. The Hawks are not great, so this is a perfect opportunity to right the ship and win a game. I'll keep it short and sweet:
Keys to the game:
1. Aldridge gets ten shots at the rim. As stated for the last game, he is taking way too many perimeter shots, and needs to find a rhythm down low.
2. Limit the Hawks to 6 threes. They have shooters everywhere in Korver, Morrow, Williams and Jenkins. We have to close out on shooters, as only Lou Williams will try to score off the dribble as well.
3. Force turnovers. The edge in athleticism goes to Portland in this match, as ATL only has Josh Smith in this regard. If ATL commits 15 or more TO's, Portland should have no problem winning.
Prediction: Blazers 100 Hawks 94
Go Blazers!
