| Marvin Williams and Josh Smith need to respond positively to the addition of Mike Bibby by remaining active, even if their shot totals decrease.

| With Shaquille O'Neal out of Miami, the Hawks' chances of getting a win in the makeup of the final 51.9 seconds of their Dec. 19 meeting have gotten a boost. The league is still debating how they're going to handle the situation, and the Heat might even be best served surrendering the result, considering another loss improves their lottery chances. |
