Fatigue is setting in as the Hawks-Nets head into today's Game 6. Atlanta played its starters a lot of minutes in Game 5, while Brook Lopez is hitting the wall for Brooklyn. The Nets' inside scoring takes a tremendous hit if Lopez isn't on his game.



Neither team played as well as they are capable of on defense during the last game, yet the total barely nudged over.



I don't see the teams combining to reach 200 points this time around with a fatigue factor, expected better defense as the intensity sinks in and the half-court slowdown styles.




Banged-up Deron Williams tumbled back to Earth in Game 5 scoring just five points on 2-of-8 shooting from the floor after scoring a highly surprising 35 points in Game 4.
