Good game, AB. You ready for Dwight? (Photo by Evan Gole/NBAE via Getty Images) 1. Atlanta at Phoenix (Tuesday) Of note: For the first time since he left Phoenix in the summer of 2005, Joe Johnson returns with a Hawks team that is in playoff contention. The Hawks have stumbled in 2009, losing four of five games, and will have to spend the next month without Al Horford (knee). Johnson will face a Phoenix team that looks nothing like the 2005 conference finalist, and barely resembles the team he faced in January last season. Former teammate Shawn Marion has been swapped for Shaquille O'Neal. Boris Diaw -- whom Phoenix acquired for Johnson in the sign-and-trade deal with Atlanta -- was used to get Jason Richardson from Charlotte. 2. New Orleans at Cleveland (Friday) Of note: Chris Paul and LeBron James are Olympians and have been good friends since playing AAU (link)
