I apologize for the light posting here of late, but I've been hard at work for you, I promise. The bulk of my hours the last few days have been in service of getting the brand new A-Town Dancers website launched, and I'm happy to say, it's now live!

Check it out - there are a ton of new photos of the girls, especially from their beach photo shoot, and new desktop wallpaper(s?) as well. Let us know what you think!

In other news, tonight the Hawks visit the world's most famous arena when they take on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. I don't know how you are feeling about it, but I have to say I'm of the opinion that the team is back on an upswing. Though the West Coast trip didn't quite go as planned, it seems to me the team started to rediscover it's mojo in the loss at Denver. Even though they lost, they were sharing the ball and looked much crisper offensively, and that has maintained through wins over Miami and Washington and in the excruciating loss to Cleveland.

Offensive performance shouldn't be too much of an issue tonight as the Knicks care very little for defense. They are going to try to outscore the Hawks, plain and simple. They were able to do so the last time the two teams met in New York, mostly courtesy of Krypt-o-Nate's 20-point 4th quarter.

Atlanta didn't have Al Horford at the time, and I think Big Al's presence in the middle tonight will make a big difference on both sides of the ball.

This is kinda a big game tonight (yes, I realize with only 22 games left, every game is important). The Hawks are on a three-game road trip against a few bad-to-middling Eastern Conference teams. Going 3-0 would be outstanding. Going 2-1 would be successful. 1-2? That'd be a disappointment, especially with the heavy hitters coming to town later this month. The Hawks should be out to win every game, but taking these winnable home games will only serve to give the team a little cushion should they come up short against the Lakers and Spurs of the world.

I expect an offensive battle similar to the 112-104 contest we saw back on Jan. 28, but I say the team continues it's recent trend of sharing the wealth offensively and gets a big win on the road.

Game time is 7:30 ET - tune into SportSouth for all the action.
