Atlanta Hawks: Zaza Pachulia and Jason Richardson suspended for Game 4
The NBA suspended Hawks center Zaza Pachulia and Magic guard Jason Richardson for Game 4 of the first-round Eastern Conference playoffs series Sunday at Philips Arena.
Pachulia and Richardson were ejected in the fourth quarter of Atlanta’s 88-84 Game 3 victory at Philips Arena.
The incident started after Pachulia fouled Magic center Dwight Howard and Howard followed through with an elbow to Pachulia’s head. Pachulia screamed in anger as Richardson came over to confront him.
Pachulia headbutted Richardson twice as they stood face-to-face; Richardson retaliated by smacking Pachulia in the face. The league said the players were suspended for those actions.
“I got elbowed after the foul,” Pachulia said today before the suspensions were announced. “I was just trying to show [officials] that I got elbowed. That wasn’t right. Suddenly Jason Richardson came behind me. I don’t know what he thought. He came behind me and started talking and that’s when everything started.”
Pachulia said the headbutts were not intentional.
“I was talking to him,” he said. “Maybe first one or two [were] like manner of talking but third one was like big one. That’s a tough situation: nerves, tension high, people screaming and you are just losing yourself.
“Maybe you have got to be more careful but it is a very tough situation. Very few people can control themselves in that situation, especially when you guys know my character. It was tough.”
Pachulia’s suspension severely damages Atlanta’s efforts to defend Howard. Of the five players who have checked Howard this season, only Pachulia and starting center Jason Collins have managed to hold their ground against Howard’s powerful post moves.
Collins has been most effective against Howard but he’s likely to be slowed after suffering a bruised tailbone while drawing a charging foul on Howard in Game 3. Collins did not participate in Atlanta’s light practice on Saturday but said he would play in Game 4.
Atlanta’s other options to defend include forward Josh Powell and centers Etan Thomas and Hilton Armstrong. Coach Larry Drew has avoided assigning Al Horford to guard Howard because he wants to avoid foul trouble for Horford.
“We still have bodies,” Drew said before the suspensions were announced. “Will the bodies still be effective, that’s the question.”
Pachulia played 19 minutes in Game 2, including 15 relatively effective minutes guarding Howard in the second half. Pachulia also harassed Howard while playing 26 minutes in Game 3 as Collins was limited to 17 minutes in part because of the back injury.
During Atlanta’s 103-93 victory Game 1, Collins was limited to 17 minutes because of foul trouble. Pachulia played nine minutes, Powell eight and Thomas seven.
“From yesterday’s game you might think, ‘They need Zaza for Dwight,’” Pachulia said today. “But we have great players, professionals and I expect them to step up if I am out.”
Richardson’s suspension creates a dilemma for the Magic. He’s been the primary defender against Hawks shooting guard Joe Johnson, whose size has created match up problems for the Magic.
J.J. Redick is likely to replace Richardson in the starting lineup. He missed the final 17 games of the regular season with an abdominal injury and coach Stan Van Gundy said before Game 3 that Redick still is affected by the injury.
The other shooting guard options for Orlando include Gilbert Arenas and Quentin Richardson. Arenas didn’t play in Game 3 and Richardson has logged 35 minutes in the series.
Pachulia has given the Hawks a jolt with his energy and toughness but he’s also earned a reputation among opponents for being a physical nuisance.
Earlier this month Houston guard Kyle Lowry needed six stitches to close a cut on his lip after a collision with Pachulia that he called “a dirty play by him.” A trainer held back Lowry as he tried to go after Pachulia.
This is the second time Pachulia has headbutted an opponent during a playoff game. In 2008 he tangled with Boston forward Kevin Garnett.
“I’m not trying to be dirty,” Pachulia said. “I am out there to play basketball, not fight. But if it comes to that situation one thing know is I am never going to back down from anybody.
“It’s not something I am trying to fight or show you something or prove something. If I feel disrespected like that, I am [reacting]. That’s what happened. It might be bad thing but everybody has own personality and that’s my personality.”

As Pachulia talked to reporters Saturday about his physical altercation with Orlando’s Jason Richardson in Game 3, Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins walked by and playfully shadowboxed in Pachulia’s direction.
“I’m learning from that guy,” Pachulia joked.
very funny

I was at that game and they should have suspended Dwight Howard if anybody. They instead took the easy way out and suspended ZaZa. He’s THE ENFORCER for the love of God. You push his buttons and he’s going to drop the hammer down upon you. That’s his job is to ENFORCE the physical nature of the Hawks and no matter what he will continue to play that role to perfection.

Were I in Larry Drew’s position I would seriously think about adding Josh Smith to the Center rotation as opposed to Al Horford to guard that goon Dwight Howard. Although Josh would be at a little bit more of a height disadvantage than Horford, he probably does have the better hops of the two if his knee is not a factor.
Another reason to use Josh instead is that – when he wants to be – he is the Hawks best overall defensive player and even if he did pick up fouls more quickly you would miss Josh much less than you would Al on the offensive side if Josh gets into foul trouble by joining the anti-goon squad. Finally, it would be an interesting story line to see the former school buds going at it head-to-head.

Pachulia was dumb to get suspended…..it hurts the team’s efforts to win. He thinks it’s okay because it’s his nature……crazy. Howard is obviously being protected by the league. He is a brutal player who uses his elbows to hurt people and gets 8 fouls a game regularly. He has consistently denied elbowing Pachulia, smiling, throwing his arms up in the air, complaining about the technical call. If is now obvious to anyone watching that we have a pathological liar being promoted by the league.
Hawks were pathological to open the third quarter…..watch it again. They went into a trance, just stood around.
Hawks versus Bulls…..give the country something to wonder about……
Go Hawks….but Pachulia……please don’t be stupid like that ever again……

@JeJe and Rufus-Now you are talking more non sense. I love you guys. First it was fire Drew because he was gonna get swept in the first round. Now it sounds as though you think we are going to advance to the second round. Wow. Are you guys jumping on the band wagon? Thanks. Now you are saying if Drew makes it to the second round Woodson would never get another coaching job. Wow. So what if the Hawks never make it back to the second round, should Woodson coach again?

You sit back and realize the game has really change. 20 years ago, they would not have been suspended. Maybe a couple of techs but this players these days are so soft and jumpy. Jason had nothing to do with the incident but he claims he was sticking up for a teammate. I dont think Howard needs anyone to stand up for him. These guys these days would not be able to stay on the court againt Karl Malone, Charles Oakley, Rodman, Lambier, or Rick Mahorn. The game has changed

What hasn’t changed in the game is the coddling of the better bog men in the game. Shaquille used to get 8 fouls/game, so really the refs are still confiding to their own guidelines. Dick Bavetta was there for there for both. This is why you see Collins and Zaza playing more aggressive. You know you are going to get a call or two; it’s just that Howard always gets the benefit of he doubt in altercations.
I think the Magic go back to double teaming Joe tonight and Dwight will get up minimum 25 shots.
We could easily be 2-2 after tonight if Josh and Marvin play average basketball.

LD needs to be more vocal about the foul mismatch. We have VG whining about the Magic getting the short end of the deal. It is a great strategy and it helps DH continue to not get called for fouls. VG is a master at getting officials to have sympathy for DH. LD would do well to learn something from him.

Where is Larry Drew’s emotion? When your player keeps getting dirty elbows AFTER the fouls are called, the coach is supposed to YELL IN ANGER at the refs to make sure something gets done about it. So what if he picks up a Tech? That will put the focus on the dirty plays of Howard, plus it will fire up the Hawks players when they see their coach standing up for them. When Howard got that Tech call against him and the refs went to explain the call to the coaches, THAT was the time for Drew to make that point going into the rest of the games in this series. He didn’t. He just walked calmly back to the bench. C’mon Drew! Show some emotion- show some passion- show some disgust at the dirty plays of Dwight Howard… AKA Mr. camps out in the paint for 5 seconds and rarely gets a 3 second violation (ON BOTH ENDS).

Why start Marvin? All he does is stand behind the 3pt line waiting for that one lucky 3pointer. He doesnt move enough, he never makes his defender have to work because he never moves. He is Mr. Stand around. I’d rather have Josh jacking up shots – at least his defender has to expend energy guarding him. Marvin is not nearly aggressive enough. I say bad call on that idea

I couldn’t let you two have all the fun on that Orlando Basketblog.
I just couldn’t do it! Trash Talking is waaay too much fun!
If I were a gambling woman, I would put money on it!
_______________
ZaZa has always been one of my favorite Hawks and he is climbing to the top of that list very quickly. With him being out, it is clearly an
opportunity for someone else to step up in the paint.
Rebounding is going to become the biggest need. So come on Al, Josh and especially Marvin. I can’t even believe we are still waiting for Marvin and his butt to actually do something. Is he a Romulin or what?
Is that a fore-brain or a hind-brain?
Can somebody please box out?
_____________________
Who ever mentioned the low scoring and descending scoring percentages? Child please! This is the NBA play offs man.
Where every possession is magnified, defense is fierce, 100 pt scoring teams typically hover around 88 points. Look around the League, the two highest scoring teams in recent history Portland-Dallas ended what?
86 – 84
That’s Portland and Dallas people. More importantly, it’s the play offs where you play the same team 7 times straight and their goal is to take away what you like to do. It’s a chess match, so NO, the low scoring percentages means absolutely nothing to a woman like me!
Just score one point more than the other team and I’m good!
Real good!
Let’s Go!

“PLEASE START MARVIN WILLIAMS OVER JOSH WHEELIN SMITH!”
I’m actually not entirely opposed to this idea with the big lineup — not because Marvin has been playing well or Smoove has been playing bad, but just because Smoove coming off the bench would balance out the bench scoring and not make it quite so perimeter oriented. Also, Marvin as a natural SF may be more likely to keep up with Turkoglu on the perimeter than Smoove, who is out of his element chasing perimeter players around screens and closing out on shooters. I’d still play Smoove a hell of a lot more minutes than Marvin, though, don’t get it twisted. Smoove is still the far better player of the two even out of position at SF.

All about Them!
Like I posted after game 1. It’s clearly not about what Dwight does, it’ll all come down to what the perimeter 3 pt shooters don’t do.
“It’s not about HIM – It’s about THEM” -drmaryb-
That was my actual quote. Did yall see the undergarment Tee Shirt Dwight had on underneath his jersey on the side line, Friday night?
It read: “IT’S NOT ABOUT ME”.
That is the realist cliche’ if ever there was one.
That lesson was pounded into my head and heart while in Practice Management training.
So, Coach Drew stick with your game plan, let Diaper-Man get his,
stop THEM!

The suspension actually favors the Hawks.
The Magic relied heavily on JRich as he is the most potent 3 point weapon with a combination of defense and toughness.
Let’s face it, he did pester Joseph Johnson and he did deliver the dagger in game 2, or they would be down 3 – 0 today.
So yes, SVG will look more constipated than ever tomorrow.
I’m sure Otis Smith is frustrated with Dwight too, for all the silliness in his
baggage compartment.
So tonight my Hawks! Let’s Get SILLY!

This will need to be a must win for the hawks to hold serve on their home court tonight. If they lose this game even if they win game 6 it will be impossible to win game 7. Hawks need to treat this game like they are down 3-0 in the series. Again let Dwight get his, I worry more of the players like Nelson, Redick and Hedo hitting big shots than Dwight making a game winning shot. Must win for the Hawks tonight.

I Mean – Really?
“A Magic squad that’s struggled to score in the regular season and playoffs against the Hawks will be playing Sunday night without shooting guard Jason Richardson, Orlando’s second-leading scorer this season. He was suspended a game for Friday’s fourth-quarter fight with Atlanta center Zaza Pachulia. Richardson said the Magic clearly got the worst of that swap.
“Of course, they got the best out of it. Anybody can see that,’’ Richardson said after hearing of the suspension. “I don’t know if that was the plan to get me out of there because I haven’t been playing that well in this series. But we’re a deep team and other guys will step up for us to get the win.’’
________________________
A plan to get you out of there? Was it your plan JRich to come 10 feet and interject yourself into the picture, when the two parties involved had walked away? That is the real question, Were you born stupid or, did you learn to be stupid? Besides that one winning shot in game 2?
What have you really done in this series, to become a serious threat to the Hawks? Unbelievable garbage. You may be your team’s 2nd leading scorer this season, but you are of no consequence to the Hawks.
Go look at the “nimbers” 5 of 7 wins total in both these seasons this year!____________________
Yes! The Hawks will clearly miss ZaZa,m but the Magic will miss you more!

All of this talk about what the Hawks should do at center now, is funny to me.
Don’t we have a 2-time All-Star playing center? How about him stepping up and try to handle Dwight for a while?
As much ragging that people do on JJ, let me remind you guys that he’s guarded 3 positions in this series. He’s guarded everyone from Turk, to J-Rich, to Nelson. So God forbid that Al try to take on the big man for about 8 – 10 minutes tonight, seeing that Horford IS an All-Star at center . . . not PF, but Center. He’s a much better option at center than Josh Powell or Etan or Hilton or whatever person you want to throw at Dwight. So he should be the one that steps up and does it tonight.
HORFORD should step up and do it. Even if he can’t do it, step up and try.
Out of all the starters, Horford is probably playing the most below regular season levels. So how about he be the one that steps up tonight? If JJ essentially won Game 1 . . and Jamal essentially won Game 3 . . how about the anointed leader of the Hawks ( by the fans ) step up and lead us to a Game 4 win?

It’s going to be on Kirk to check Jameer in this game and not let him have a huge game to make up for the absence of J-Rich. Etan is also going to have to play well in this game to cover for the loss of Zaza. If Armstrong and Powell play significant minutes, Las Vegas Larry strikes again.

^Wow I actually agree 100% with DrMaryB. J-Rich is @$$hole these days on the ball court. He was beastly last year with PHX and I liked him until I realized he sucks now
I was worried ORL would try something like put Hedo on JJ and somehow shut him down, but I hope JJ can destroy Q-Rich.
Like I said before, we need Joe and Jamal to combine for 45 a game for us to win (47 or so in game 1 and 44 the other night)

I also agree with Buddy about shutting down Jameer. Hinrich has done a very nice job, but we can’t assume Jameer will be scoring 13 a game the rest of the series. Game 1 he beasted, but we gotta keep him in tact

northcyde,
I’d love to see Al step up. I’d also like to see Marvin score some damn points. Seems like he has no role in this series but to stand around and hustle back as soon as our possession is done.
This seems like a series all about the guards and bigs, so I guess guys like Duck and Turk can’t get it going.
Have a strange feeling Josh will put up a monster statline tonight and we win
Again, we CANNOT have this mentality that “the pressure is on them now.” THat is the dumbest ISH I’ve ever heard. Also must have a must-win mentality on Tuesday and finish these dee-bags off. Should be up 3-0 now and waiting after today for CHI/IND to end

And what a great 24 hours of basketball I saw on Friday and Saturday nights. The Hawks win was dramatic enough, but what I saw last night in Memphis was incredible. It was their first home playoff win, and that arena was jacked up at the end of the game. Great atmosphere for playoff basketball down there. Memphis is really a college basketball town, so at times, they bring that sort of enthusiasm to Grizzly games. Beale St. was rockin all night.
I wish I could make it a trifecta, and make the Nashville Predators – Anaheim Ducks playoff game tonight, but I couldn’t get tickets. Plus I need some rest after all of that road travel ( probably 15 total hours in the last 48 hours ). I need a nap before the Hawks game. Damn . . if I were 25, this wouldn’t even phase me. I wouldn’t even be tired.

Superman’s Kryptonite = GET HIM IN FOUL TROUBLE!! JJ, Heinrich, Crawford, Teague- take a page out of Tony Parker’s and Rondo’s book. Drive & throw your body into Howard in the way up, forcing the refs to have to call against Howard. The more they try it the more chances they have to succeed. Hell, they only have to get the guy 6 fouls in 48 minutes and it’s Easy Street after that. They don’t even have Gortat to back Howard up anymore. Also, get Howard to pick up an offensive foul or 2. Collins needs to flail his arms more by exaggerating the effects of Howard lowering his shoulder and using his famous elbows to get into position to score- A little more Flopping could get another foul on Howard. What does Collins have to lose if hes gonna get called anyway.

JeJe I agree. The pressure may be on them, but the pressure is on us too.
If Orlando wins tonight, they regain home court advantage. It’s the same situation we were in 2 years ago @ Miami, after they took a 2 – 1 lead on us, and had a home game for Game 4. We had to grind that game out to get a win and tie the series. Once that happened, we regained the home court, which we took care of in Games 5 and 7.
The Hawks can’t relax one bit. Lose tonight, and that Game 1 win in Orlando basically means nothing.

Howard crying more than Josh..who would’ve seen that coming?
The Magic are on the ropes and I never thought it could have happened. I had the Hawks down 3-1 after Game 4.
Horford’s a center like JC1 is a PG…a myth. Al told you he doesnt like going up against guys who outweigh. Horford has has an ok series, but we could easily be up 3-0.
Somehow, when the Hawks think they have an advantage, they lay an egg.
And whoever is promoting Marvin, you must not have watched him the last 2 years. Very rare that he steps up when needed. His points come at garbage time many times.
That a/c commercial where the cash is being sucked out the window? That’s Marvin’s production more often than not. And He could present a huge advantage for us, but he chooses to play cautious basketball.
