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

This is why Josh Smith is not an All-Star. He shoots 4-for-12 against a losing team for 8 points and keeps his scoring average below 20.

So right, Dr. Mary. 1st unit is selfish, 2nd unit played great after a stumble and got us back in this game.

Ivan Johnson is cold blooded, man!

Ivan is MVP.

He should start before Zaza or Marvin! Provide much energy for the starters!

So far.we are fine with Al watching…..

Can’t believe Ivan got respect from the refs on that call. Love was inside the circle and his feet were not set but I can’t believe they didn’t call a charge.

maybe it was just the awesome guard play of Rubio..

but gotta sure up that zone defensive rotation.. we might have to go to it exclusively w/ the undersized front court.. surely Ivan brings a grit that we badly need.

unbelievable, only offense we had tonight came from Teague and JJ and a little bit of Willie at the end. Smoove, Marvin, Vlad were all no shows, I am still in awe that the Hawks won. The difference maker tonight? Ivan Johnson definitely, bailing out the Hawks night in night out!!

Didnt like how we played, but I’m happy for the win. I would trade LD and 2 second round picks for Rick Adelman right now.

I think Ivan got away with a charge there. But clutch FTs from him.

Also, why was Josh hanging around at the 3 point line? Shouldnt he be at the rim to rebound in case somebody miised (which is what Ivan did)?

This is a better team with out Al. They are so unified and every body plays together. No one demanding to do anything but play hard and win.

Way to man up on an off night HAWKS!!
