    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Coach Brian Hill was mad over a play early in the fourth quarter when Darko Milicic landed hard on his lower back after Hawks rookie Shelden Williams, the No. 5 overall pick in the NBA Draft, made a move on him in the low post. Milicic was able to walk off under his own power after Hill was hit with a technical foul.

    "He (Williams) lowered his shoulder and ran right through him," Hill said. "Now I may have to lose a player because of a call not being made. So that's what I get upset about. To me, it was a pretty obvious call. Obviously, it wasn't to the official."

    The Magic, who had won their first three preseason games, were outscored 33-21 and outrebounded 19-4 in the fourth quarter by the Hawks (3-1). Seven of the rebounds they allowed were at the Hawks' offensive end.</div>

    Would that possibility be there, regardless?

    Shelden got away with this a lot at college, looks like it's still staying in the pros.
