12/3/08 Preview: HAWKS vs. Memphis Grizzlies

Tonight the Hawks welcome back Josh Smith against the Grizzlies of Memphis (Elvis Presley and Jim Neeley fame).  In his second year since graduating from Georgia Tech, Javaris Crittenton will ride the bench as his team visits Philips Arena as the worst team in the Southwest Division, with a record of 4-13.  Memphis has lost 6 in a row and 9 out of their last ten.  However, their rookie sensation, O.J. Mayo, just won Western Conference Rookie of the Month honors, so look for them to come out with great intensity to try and win a game in his honor.
