In game seven of the season for the Atlanta Hawks, they'll share a mutual common denominator when they travel to the "Big Easy" versus New Orleans. Both teams have been affected by injuries to key contributors, in fact, starters. Also, in common both are on the front half of a back-to-back with Portland visiting on Monday for New Orleans and the defending world champion Boston Celtics for Atlanta.

ATL sparked a 2nd half run with what appeared to a different energy than what we've seen recently. We'll also deep dive into some interesting trends from Zaccharie Risacher and style of play comparisons made to perhaps one of the most unorthodox (yet effective) veteran players in the NBA.

DeShaun Tate and NBA Blogger/Podcast Personality, Michael Dyson put on their coaching hat ahead of back-to-back games versus New York & Boston and expound on Atlanta's strengths and weaknesses including why the Hawks won the Daniels/Nance/Murray trade.
