Talking about minutes
Greetings-
Hope you are doing well. It looks like Mike Bibby will play, at least from what Jeff Teague said. For what it’s worth, Bibby looked fine walking around the practice court and locker room. (For the time media were allowed into practice, he was sitting on a trainer’s table)
Mike Woodson said he’d like to know by Wednesday if Bibby can go.
To address some of the debate you all are having about Teague and his minutes, I’ll share something with you that Woodson said last week about playing time that I think might shed some light into his thinking. I’d asked him about Randolph Morris playing well at the end of one of the games – at home against New Orleans – and here is what Woodson said.
“He was excellent. He had a little pop to him and came in and played four great minutes, I thought. Guys have got to be like that. I can’t promise minutes. I’ve gotten away from that the last two years. I tell guys, ‘I’m not promising you anything. You’ve got to earn your minutes, you’ve got to make the most of them or I’ve got to go somewhere else and find it.’”
I think in a lot of ways, particularly considering that the team has a lot more to play for (and lose), this makes sense. It’s presumably easier to hand out minutes to players on a team playing .400 basketball than it is to one that is in an early fight for the division. However, the tricky part, obviously, particularly as it relates to Teague, is that it’s almost a given he’s going to make mistakes given his experience level, but the only way he’ll get experience, of course, is by playing.
That said, Woodson has said repeatedly how much he likes Teague as a player and wants to find minutes for him. For those of you who want to see him get regular minutes, would you be willing to do that if it meant putting more games at risk? I hope we can at least agree that Woodson’s rationale for playing Teague the way he plays him is that he’s trying to win each game.
That said, let’s say Teague got a steady 10 minutes, but instead of 11-3, the Hawks were 9-5, or instead of going 52-30 this season, they go 47-35. (Purely hypothetical) Would you make that trade? (Of course, you’re banking on the team and Teague being better for it, this year and in years to come.) Or maybe you can say what’s your cutoff for wins at the expense of minutes.
On a much different note, I’m working on a story for Thursday about fan attendance. If any of you have thoughts about how the Hawks are drawing – they’re actually 5 percent ahead of last year, but crowds still seem sparse, given the team’s upward trend – and would be willing to be quoted in a story, e-mail me at ksugiura@ajc.com.
I almost forgot – a fan e-mailed me and asked about the possibility of a “Red-out” at the Hawks-Magic game, when the Hawks will debut their red alternate road jerseys. I told him I’d share his e-mail in the blog. Here’s an excerpt:
While watching Al Horford on TNT last night, I saw the Hawks “new” red jersey that the team plans to reveal on Thanksgiving night in our nationally televised game against Orlando.
“Wouldn’t it be great if we could have ALL of the fans wear “RED” to the game on that night. It would be an amazing display from our fans and send a “RED WAVE” across the country.
What are your thoughts? Let’s get the WORD OUT to our fan base!!!”
As far as white-out/black-out/your color here-out goes, I think red would be pretty cool. It would fall on the Hawks to publicize it, but just passing along the e-mail.

Perkins is only averaging 10 ppg and 7 rpg at roughly 26 minutes a game. I know the media bias thing, but he will get hurt by splitting time with Wallace.

speaking of attendance, it was embarrassing the other nite at the Portland game. I honestly believe there were about 2000 people in the stands at tip off. that wasn’t counting the people in the restaurants eating & such, but it was embarrassing. I think theofficial attendance for that game was 13k+, but it sure didn’t look like it. some of the blame is on the economy, i guess…i can say that i don’t go to as many games as i did in the past due to being down to one income. hopefully us hawks fans can get out more & show support.

Yo Bibby is a game changer..
Before he arrived this team was strictly a one-on-one group of individuals. JJ pounding the ball at the 3-Line and turning it over when the game was on the line. Much like all-thumbs Jason “Jet-Terry” used to do..dribble like hell and turn it over!
Bibby settled this team down, and got these kids organized..He even made Mike Woodson turn into a real coach. If not for Bibby, Woody would have been long gone. Having said that, this is Bibby’s TEAM!
Now as far as Teague goes…he’s really fast, but he has no rythm-sp and never waits for the screener. He has to learn how to slow down his game and set his team-mates up..Get them the ball where they can prosper, i.e where they like it! That takes time and chemistry to learn..You should never experiment while winning at a torrid pace – like the Hawks are doing right now!
Be patient, just like we were with Josh & Al & Marvin. Teague is no CP3..Same Alma-Mater, but totally different mental acuity! CP3 is a grown as man who never wore pull-ups! Teague is the best point guard we have drafted in a while, but he needs to sit and learn a little more, watch Bibby and learn. Give him his spots when we get to 25-30 games! Let him practice with the 1st unit in the practice gym and gradually give him the reigns over time. Teague needs to learn his gears.. 100mph is not playing the – point…he needs to develop the skill of seeing the play BEFORE it happens! That’s called maturity and skills! That’s when the GAME slloowws down for you. Patience is a Virtue!
Start Mo at the point or let JJ run the point until Bibby is back! Keep bringing Crawford of the Bench for now! That’s my prescription!

Ditto DrMary and Truth-Serum on Teague.
Lots of talent…not NBA ready. So, as coach said, he’ll sit and watch and learn. Long season: he’ll get plenty of minutes against weaker teams mid season, especially if there is an injury problem. Even then, Hawks can sign someone; they’ve 2 roster spots open.
Let Mo and Crawdaddy do the heavy lifting and let Teague sit.
He was a sophmore and he wasn’t ready. He can be ready in a couple years if he keeps his head up and keeps watching these top tier guys ahead of him.
Patience grasshopper. But, sophomores rarely have patience…..LOL

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope to be back on the regular before Christmas. I’ve been through a tough stretch but “morning by morning new mercies I see”.
Woody should be giving Teague, Joe Smith and Mo more playing time. Marvin and Josh still can’t seem to have great games at the same time. Josh has been remarkable. Crawford far better than I thought. And Woody has grown as a game-manager (which is not to say that he is perfect). Glad to see the blog is thriving. Y’all hold it down.. GO HAWKS!

Wordsmithtom, I agree with DrMary’s conclusion, but not necessarily her editorial. Moe can play a little bit of the two but in not a great ball handler, I’d rather have Marvin play the two and let JJ and Crawford swing in and out to the point. Between Marvin and Mo, Marv is a better ball handler. Buy the same token mo, can play the 3 or a set up 2 but not a motion 2. Either way you I and DrMary are not far apart on this rotation. I suspect well get a bit of variety encompassing a triad of back court offenses and options.
Where DrMary’s view and mine differ is this being Bibby’s team. Granted Bibby is the lug nuts that allow the wheel to roll Josh is the tires and JJ is the engine. It’s JJ’s Team. He was brought here for the purpose of building a team with him as the focal point and anchor of the offense. He is still our ranking all star albeit a second tier one. He has given us an anchor and consistency. He’s the captain. It’s his team. He and Bibby and josh and Al, all get along about as well as million dollar athletes can.
Further, 99.9 percent of all coaches survive their careers based on the successes of their star players. Woodson is no different.
Phil Jackson rode Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Chuck Daly rode Isaiah Thomas; Pat Riley rode Magic Johnson, Bill Fitch, Larry Bird.
Many star coaches retire after their legendary players do. Some get tapped and tagged as coaches who can handle championship teams. Whether they have a special talent for championships may or may not be true. What is true is that they were successful in guiding a team that had a superstar to championships.
Some coaches get tagged as transitional coaches, which is to imply that this type of coach works best when you are not rebuilding but shifting a nucleus into a new base.
Other coaches are known as rebuilding coaches, who have the foresight and patience to teach to and develop the game with rookies and inexperienced players.
Coach Woodson has definitely proven that he has this capacity. Over the past five years he has demonstrated that he can take a team from rebuilding to intermediate. Over the past two years he has shown he coach a team from intermediate to seeded favorites. My best guess is that he has there by earn a chance to compete at the higher levels over the next 3, (yes I said three), to see if in fact he can grab a championship. He’s earned that right.
Like many I agree that Woodson is evolving like his players are. He has a very strong back ground in who he inherited the game from, (see bobby knight and Larry brown). I can see he has a passion for the game and I suspect that when his career is over you may have witness the rise of a great coach. The game has been entrusted to a hard working a responsible man that has done this city proud.
I think it may have been Samuel who talked about the time issue and the changing of coaches and how the old can lose touch with a new generation. Woodson is spot on for this current generation. He reads them and they him. Between the coaches and players on the hawks there is very good chemistry. This team is destined to succeed. All of these players need each other. It’s a great fit, great chemistry. Only thing I’d change would be an addition not a subtraction. I’d like to have a Robert Parrish, Dekembe Mutombo type center for this team and start racking some championships!

Ok so why not bring in AI? We only have 14 players on the roster & AI wants to play for a ring. If we bring in AI shouldn’t he push us to another level. If we don’t want a log jam for minutes why not make a trade after we sign him. Marvin + Mo should give us a 1st rounder in next years draft. JT0 can be the 3rd pg for insurance while he sits and learns.

Just can’t have Joe hogging the ball tomorrow, man.
Hawks should have a 5 second rule. If you don’t have a shot or make a move within 5 seconds of getting the ball, then you must pass the rock. That will reduce passing the ball to Josh around the perimeter to launch a desperation jumper at the buzzer. And eliminate Joe pounding the ball endlessly against triple teams. Hawks have to move the ball and strike quick. If they play unselfish, defend and rebound, they win their first Thanksgiving game on TNT in a minute!
Josh and AL must attack the rim and try to get Howard into foul trouble.
They must keep Jason Willaims under control.
They must close in on the 3 point shooters.
I hear Hawks players are revved up to play to a national audience this Thanksgiving. I hope they make a good showing and win the game!
Hawks, this is a big one!

Hey DR MB:
Still workin’ that cheetah thong girl? You go. How’s the woman’s football league holding out? Your fab five minus one have sure taken the HAWKS to the heights of success this season. Great to pull for a winner, even as my lowly home-team loses their owner. The WIZ are really put out by our homeboy CRITTENTON getting hurt this off season in the ATLANTA. Probably caused them to not extend his contract. J-CRIT has game though and will surely land on his feet.

Shout out on that Woodson post. No coach is going to do things “My” way, thus we bloggers will always have something with which to take issue. He does ride his stars. But, most good managers anywhere do this.
He has developed talent: Josh Smith was rated a borderline pick. He’s averaging almost 10 rebounds a game now and should make the all star game. Marvin was picked on “potential”. He was a one year college player, and there a sub. Green as a gourd. Despite a slow start this year, he’s still developed into a solid team player who will do anything coach asks. (Oh, and I have NO problem with MW playing the 2 and JJ 1 if Bibby can’t go; Mo still gets MW’s 3 minutes… Crawdaddy coming off the bench and JT sits and learns like sophomore rookies should against top tier opposition. When they play New Jersey, let JT have some minutes with the first team.)
Interesting note. 10 players have played in all 14 games. Better players; better distribution of minutes by coach.

this should be a wild fun game tonite..joe,and starters rested will have incredible energy and we’re playing in the national spotlight tonite too!!
i heard hubbie saying this team is 10 deep also,but,woody does not coach them like a 10 deep team..
how do u coach a 10 deep team u ask?
you play a 1st and 2nd unit..simple..
1st half:
starters in,starters out..
bench in,bench out..
2nd half:
starters in,starters out..
bench in,bench out..
as game wears down and if its close..
u mix it up with da best of yo performers dat nite and consider your best matchup options too..put them together and u won’t have da tired legs every nite..u will have upbeat players everynite..u will have a 13 deep instead of 10 deep team..and,if any injuries occur,you will be ready and not have to throw your bench into the fire..
its so simple and easy to coach this team..i could do it..

i like the points that u brought up..
but,teague needs to be in now..
mo evans is strictly a shooter,and he will be like flip at the pg..THE BLACK HOLE..ONCE THE BALL COMES IN,IT WON’T COME OUT..he is a shooter..
wit bibbs out,put in teague now,keep crawford on the bench and let him play pg but still give him the green light on offense and let him score,and this team won’t miss a beat..mo evans will come off the bench as the SG..zsa zsa,evans,crawford,smith,and othello hunter should be in the 2nd tier with randmo and collins playing in spots..
now with teague on the offense u will miss 2 things that bibbs bring and he don’t..a better grasp on the offense and the outside shooting..
what teague has already shown is his ability to play one on one defense better..quick hands on defense for steals..the ability to drive to the hole and score and break down the defense and dish the rock..and thats all you need..his positives will make up for the weakness,easily..
the only thing i have to worry about now is because of his 7 minutes every 2 games and how will his legs hold up for playing 24-29 minutes a game..i think he’ll be alright..

heck,why not bring in AI,trade bibby, and keep teague in with the 2nd unit..he can learn just as fast..
we have crawford,and jj,to run the point if AI or teague goes down..
and,i love marvin williams..i think he would be a legitimate star,but with this lineup and coach,he will be just a silent starter..yea,he can score,has decent range as a shooter..but,if joe is playing then williams won’t get the plays ran his way nor the touches like he did when jj went down last year before the all star break..REMEMBER??
marvin,although he did it for 3 games,averaged almost 30+ per game..
he also,got players in foul trouble,lived at the free throw line,and once joe got back into the lineup,we have a marvin sighting every now and then..if we could get him in the offensive mix with joe,then we’d be that much dangerous..but we won’t..so,why keep him?? save him for a rainy day?? he’ll soon get tired,and will do the joe johnson and not re-up and test the FA waters when its time..

Guys,
I see you’re still yappin about the same ole thang. Guess what, Woody aint changing what he believes in cause guess what. We’re winning. Again, why change and risk losing if your GM is unwilling to give you an extension. Would you?
Props to Woody and the Hawks. It don’t get no more prime time than Turkey Day night. We should do pretty good since Orlando is coming off a tough game and we have 3 days of rest. We will get a steady dose of Vinsanity though so we better be ready. He should be a little pis_ed since White “Chokelate” messed up his game winner last night.
What’s the over-under on Mathew Stafford’s interceptions today. I say he get’s 5.
The key of course will be how we handle Howard though. This is a real test for us. We have a chance to show if we belong among the elite. Let’s do it.

Samuel says,”why change and risk losing if your GM is unwilling to give you an extension. Would you?”
and that point too,has already been brought up..
if your willing to go with the flow,and not do nothing to your lineup,scheme,and just players play and make your gm get looked at as being the one who brought them in but u don’t do nothing to make them over perform and make your gm look like a genuis,then u know what? he deserves to be fired just for that..
your gm brings in a proven starter/scorer that comes off the bench in crawford,a crafty vet as in joe smith..re-signs bibbs and marvin,drafts a PG for the future that you still slack in developing,and you start off 11-3??
no buddy..you are supposed to be 14-0..
we had the lakers game,but you let that slip away into a outscoring 3rd qtr. of 34-18..we were 7 for 23 on 3 pointers,and the teams that beat the lakers do it inside-out..start with the banging with the big boddies that SUND brought in,instead we go for the 3’s often and early especially in the 3rd of that game..
GM rick sund, is not particularly watching the games you are winning woody,he is watching the games you lose,and how u are losing them and when do you actually catch on that the game is getting out of hand..dats right,your reflexes..
you see,when you have vets in the game,then you can let them ride off of a staved attack or 4-6-8 to zero runs,and they know how to bounce back..but,you don’t know how or better yet when to pull them to the side and see what they don’t see because they are too much in the game..
just telling them to crash the boards is not enough..
in other words,ADJUSTMENTS..
they come too little and always too late..
even if we go to the nba finals with this team,its gonna be in spite of woody..and even then,he is gonnalose his job..
sund knows that this is a home fav team..and most of the victories will be at home..
its how u play and lose on the road he is looking at..
he is asking,
“are they playing on the road like they are winning at home”?
if not then,”what are we doing different at home than we are on the road”?
then,”why aren’t we at least consistent on the road,like we are at home even if we lose,why not the same confidence and level of play as when we are at home”?
and guess what woody??
it starts from the top..
not the spirit or rick sund sir..
YOU!!
it will look pretty embarassing if we lose you to a firing even though we are in the playoffs..and your excuse will be what u did with this team over the past few years..
when u could have done more with your entire team,and show that u can develope players,and make them better..
your gm and others who are watching you,don’t want to hire a coach that you have to tell what to do..develope bench,etc….
they want u to assess your enviroment and then proceed to tell them whats wrong,whats right,and what you can and will do..
so,if your thinking that u can walk into another situation and ask them to look at your record over the past 4 years and they will be impressed,they won’t..
they will look at your starters,and then ask,what did you do with the rest of the team because it was your starters who carried you..
i know,i would be shrugging my shoulders too woody..

NYB,
You sound like you have a wonderful family. On that, you get an A+, however, you’re still a scrubb in basketball knowledge. Big difference between 6-0 and 11-3. Best start in 12 years. We’ve been #1 in the power ranking for two weeks in a row. We’ve added Crawford and Joe Smith, Josh is playing within himself, we’ve been relatively injury free and the entire world “believes” we’re for real.
Last year, we were injured going into the match up with Cleveland (even though we had no chance anyway). This year we are much better and I haven’t heard anybody outside of this blog mention the need for giving Teague more minutes.
I label you a scrubb because you are a Woody “HATER” with no facts to back it up.

why Woodson talking to Crawford about Defense when he need to talk to Bibby & Joe
