One more chance for Joe to take on his former team... Until the playoffs? (AP)

After five days of rest for Joe Johnson and four for his compatriots, the 38-27 Brooklyn Nets finally do the thing they allegedly get paid to do: play professional basketball against another professional basketball team.

Tonight is the fourth and final matchup between Brooklyn and Johnson's former stomping jersey Atlanta Hawks; the Nets have taken two of three from the Hawks so far this year, but Johnson has made a tempered impact in all three games.

Joining me to talk about today's matchup is Lang Greene, NBA reporter for HOOPSWORLD, a division of USA Today Sports. Lang is one of my favorite reporters for his balanced, respectable approach to the game, and he knows his stuff.
