Trae Thompson of the Star-Telegram reports that, in tonight's game against Atlanta, coach Don Nelson will be shooting for his 1,000th victory.  When he attains that milestone, he'll have been only the third coach to do so, joining Pat Riley and Lenny Wilkens.

Nelson won't have a full complement of players to help.  Omar Cook, who never played, has been waived.  Center Evan Eschmeyer will miss the game with a badly sprained left ankle (he might be replaced on the active roster by Gregg Buckner or Johnny Newman).  And Michael Finley is day-to-day with after straining his left hamstring against Chicago.  If Finley misses the game, it will break his streak of 490 consecutive games.
