I am conflicted about tonight's game. While I realize it's best for the Hawks to clinch by any means necessary and not have it come down to the last possible game, I will admit there is a part of me that wants to see the Pacers beat the Wizards tonight. I think it has to do with wanting to see the team clinch at home, and clinch with a win as opposed to another team's loss.

I say that now of course, and if the unthinkable were to happen and the Hawks missed the playoffs, I'm sure I'd regret this line of thinking (this won't happen by the way. Even if the Pacers won out and the Magic beat them on Tuesday, there is just no way they could lose to Miami on Wednesday).

Everyone around me is telling me I'm nuts, and I totally understand why. I just like the idea of taking something, rather than having it given to me.

Still, if you are a Hawks fan, you are no doubt watching tonight's Wizards-Pacers game with great interest.

Game time is 7:00 ET for those who can watch it, otherwise follow along on NBA.com.
