Timberwolves at Atlanta Hawks: Game thread

  • I’m not at the game tonight. The AJC’s Chris Viviamore is on the scene.
  • At shootaround today Marvin Williams (ankle) told C-Viv he plans to play tonight. Tracy McGrady (back) is out and is shooting for a Monday return.
  • Larry Drew said the Hawks are in no hurry to make a roster move in the wake of Al Horford’s injury.

Michael Cunningham, Hawks beat

What are Ivan Johnson’s fouls per 48 minutes? 10.3?

I just want Josh to out-rebound Love. So far, so good. 5 to 3, Josh.

Sloppy play and cold shooting by the Hawks in that 1st qtr.

I vote for Jsmoove as an Allstar. he brings it. I dont mind the slow start or doing what it takes to get on track. The man has lifted his game, spent time in the offseason doing what matters and has come back focused and delivering. We are where we are at because of Josh, among others.

Teague will be fine no worries about him. I would’ve started vlad over Marvin especially since Marvin needs to get his rhythm back!

For a player to be considered athletic, Marvin sure does get stopped at the rim a lot.

Zaza now has more points than Kris Kaman in last night’s T-Wolves game at New Orleans.

Coasting!

TMac is reminiscent of Shaq last year. For the vet min what you get is a bench rider until the play offs comes. That was the plan for ShaQ last year, he just got hurt when it was show time!

Pargo with the great defense… Zaza picks up the foul switching.

Sometimes the Hawks play is nauseating! As Charles Barkley would say, “Turrible, just turrible!” Back to the Saints game….

I think pargo is a great role player. I really like this team. We just need a couple of key players including a starting center. Bring Al off the bench, if he is still here.

I have no problem w/ TMac taking his time. He is a difference-maker. These games will be irrelevant come playoff time. It’s a calculated gamble, but you certainly don’t want to burn him up in the 1st 3 weeks.

T-wolves feature a starting backcourt of Frodo [Rubio] and Legolas [Ridnour] with Aragorn [Love] at power forward.

Teague not bad in open floor, 2 nice dishes; wish he could do that in a half court set…penetrate and dish, but once he lowers his head, its going up no matter what…wish he could get in their and draw defender then dish for easy buckets like Paul, Billups, BD.

They really dont penetrate to score, just pull the defense, then Oooop…

Like 49ers, but hate to see Jim Harbaugh getting all the credit. Mike Singletary whipped that team into shape. He called out all the “punks” and wouldn’t tolerate their BS – mgt. didn’t have his back, but look at the results…Vernon Davis, Crabtree ballin, Defense fierce…that’s all Singletary, so what if he gave colorful interviews – he drew a line and demanded that players respect the game and look at ‘em now.

Cut down on the turnovers and let Teague keep driving to the rim.
