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

probably b/c they reward hard play and not knucklehead play and crying..
plus, hard to make a call there when it was a fluid strong move.. bodies bounce off that dude..

Zaza 3-for-3, 6 points, 5 rebounds for those of you still wanting to trade two rotation players for Chris Kaman (0-for-10, scoreless in 18 minutes in NO’s loss last night to these same T-Wolves).

Ivan just said the team had the mindset that this was supposed to be an easy game for them…..that’s amazing to me that they continue to think like that.

Vlad played well. Vlad had 7 boards, 3 assists, a steal, a block, no turnovers, and a big 3 (+16).

“76ERS PLAYING GREAT D AS ALWAYS”
Yeah, y’all held that powerhouse Wizards team to a mere 90 points. Let’s see that’s well below their season average of… oops, my bad, their season avg. is 84. something.
Well until tonight that is.

Great Scott,
Stack is the Player Coach. That is the only reason they wanted him on the team. He pulls people aside and tells them what they are doing and what they need to do.

I wasnt a charge it was a flop ala Lambieer Johnson cant help it be cause he is physical in the paint. He does more with less than Al did with 6′ 10″ 250.
This team is better with out the locker-room drama that Al cause by his refusal to play defense and constant nagging about playing center. Ivan, its the size of the fight in the dog. I hope Al had a good seat to watch this.
Thanks for showing us that its not the size of the dog in the fight

OKC is giving the Knicks a good old fashioned BEAT-DOWN, 70-47 at HALFTIME.
70 points in a half?
Winning by 33?
Knicks with the SUPERSTARS and the RIM-PROTECTING CENTER?

Great Scott,
I agree, I wish they keep Benson. I was just saying he is there for the coaching and not playing time. LD should have fired one of his lazy assistants and made Stack one.

Ivan plays hard, with a nasty demeanor, but he is fundamentally sound. Rebounds with 2 hands, layups with left/right hand, makes FTs. Sund needs to consider his contract!

JT was 20pt, 10asisst, and 6tuneovers, not 8. That happens sometimes when you have a true PG. That’s just 2 more then Rubio and JT played 6 more minutes.
