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

Wow! Everybody fighting for their playoff lives… Alex Smith gets his 1st playoff win…Falcoons never would have stood up to the Saints like that.

TJ Yates = 1-0
Tim Tebow = 1-0
Alex Smith = 1-0
Matt Ryan = 0-3

Rubio picking the Hawks apart. They are killing us under basket. but I think we can and will beat them. Our bench is better.

What if we had Chauncey Billups??? Not possible, how bout next best thing?

Gilbert Arenas – no he’s not the same, but veteran can run the offense, knock down shots and hit FT in clutch – more than i can say for these guys

Observations so far:

1) Hawks missing Horford.

2) Teague looks fairly good.

3) Rubio is talented but needs to be reined in just a bit.

4) Joe looks pretty good. Has missed some shots, but has had some good looks, too.

5) Josh hit his last two jumpers. Now if he will just go down low. Nice work on the boards, though.

6) Love is the best big man on the floor. Bar none.

Josh Smith is getting embarassed in this game by Kevin Love… one borderline all star power forward against another.

tyger,

There is no offense on this team for a PG to run. First, LD is basically just letting them run around and do whatever on offense. Second, you got Smith and Johnson that do not hand the ball to the PG.

Kevin Love is not a “borderline allstar”. He is an allstar. BIG difference.

Joe Johnson is single handidly causing the hawks to lose! Teague should be having ISO Teague he’s hot this is bad coaching!

So, uh… maybe that 30 point win was a mirage that had more to do with Charlotte’s ineptitude than anything, huh? Blowing up the core doesn’t seem quite so preposterous now…

Joe messed the whole game up everytime we got close by sharing the ball or Teague taking his man off the dribble…..here comes Joe shooting shots and holding the ball like he’s on fire his iq is low instead of knowing that he’s off he keeps shooting…I’ve never seen a player get the green light so often when he’s off and other players are on!

Not worth watching.

Team still won’t let the PG be the PG. Coach, who is a cheap tool, isn’t helping. GM is an idiot who thinks that we don’t need effective big man depth. And his boss is the dumbest in the business.

I think I’ll go back to watching Tebow learning what REAL QBs do.

Al’s 10 points and no defense would not be a factor. J.D is just getting out coached. You get what you pay for.

Vlad 0/3 from 3. 2 points TOTAL from the bench. Hmm… maybe depth is a problem.

The way the Hawks are playing it’s like they are so focused on keeping the Wolves off the boards that they have forgotten how to do anything else.

The Breaking Point!

We finally got a PG … But, the coach does NOT know how to utilize one. Give the damned ball to TEAGUE!!!!

This team has so many bad habits. Use your fkg PG when playing against a great PG! Let the chips fall where they may. Live or Die with TEAGUE,,,,,,,,,,

Yes, Joe is finally benched! watch the bench brings it close then LD sends Joe back out there to do his own thing.
