Raucous victory celebrations have been the theme in the first two games between the Knicks and Hawks. Both were seesaw affairs that could have gone either way. For Game 3 I expect the Hawks to counter the halftime adjustments made by New York coach Tom Thibodeau in Game 2. The Hawks make a statement in front of their home crowd.

Man, the Knicks are not a good offensive team. Julius Randle is a good player, but he's simply not a No. 1 option on a good playoff team. He shot a combined 28.2 percent from the field in the first two games on rims/background he knows and with a rabid crowd behind him. What will he do in foreign territory tonight? Plus, how much will Derrick Rose have in the tank after playing such heavy minutes the first two games? Atlanta has won 11 straight at home. Make it 12.
