Atlanta Hawks at Bucks: Game thread
Milwaukee–Zaza Pachulia is the starter at center. “He’s been playing well lately,” Larry Drew said. “He has played well against the Bucks. So we elected to go with him.”
- Zaza has been as productive and efficient as usual but his minutes have fluctuated. “It’s hard, but you have to be a pro,” he said. “I’ve been in a situation where I was getting mad previous years. But you learn one thing, you can’t control it or make it better. All you can do is be professional. I am not worried about that. I’ve been in the league long enough to realize my role and what I can do, where my strength is, what I can do for a team.”
- Included among the keys on Milwaukee’s pregame board: “Match Pachulia’s energy.”
- Jeff Teague on Drew keeping him as the starter when Hinrich returns: “That feels real good to hear. But I really can’t control it too much. I’ve just got to go out there and play hard and keep playing my game.”
- Scott Skiles on how the schedule has affected the Bucks: “We’re trying to be smart and and build in rest and have the most energy we can for the game and at the same time prepare properly. It’s very difficult to do. It’s one of the reasons we feel like our defense hasn’t been what it normally would be. Hopefully we’ve gotten far enough into the season so it’s something we can be more consistent with.”
- The Bucks ground down the Heat to win a low-possession game last night in Miami after doing the same to the Knicks Friday in a high-possession game in New York.
- Skiles though the offensive execution was good at Miami: “We just didn’t make shots. I think we are moving in the right direction but that doesn’t necessarily show up when you shoot 35 percent.”
- Like always, shot selection will be key for the Hawks. “When we e talk about playing on the road, we talk about playing with a smartness,” Drew said. “We can’t get seduced into taking a bunch of jump shots. We have to move the ball from one side of the floor to the other and attack the basket. Where we’ve gotten in trouble, particularly on the road, is settling for too many jump shots.”

I hope the Hawks can win, but it’s going to be hard going against future Hall of Famer and multiple-time All Star Jon Leuer.

FTPB, its hard to complain about the Dollar Store selection when you only have $.95 in your pocket. I welcome Kenyon Martin as a viable short-term (as in 3-4 months) candidate to play center for this team. I don’t think he has much athleticism left, but he has that “old man strength” working for him. And he and Collins hopefully have a good relationship from their Jersey days. Maybe they can recruit Kerry Collins to join Stack on the bench as the Geritol Gents.
I’m just glad no one has mentioned Hasheem Thabeet recently. I think he is buried on the bench somewhere being denied his rightful opportunity to become the next Mutombo.

LOL @ Drew. Zaza is unquestionably the best center we have on the team right now. He should start all games until we play a high scoring low post center. Drew just like messing with people’s heads . . or he overthinks a lot.
Sounds like my boss . . always overthinking and making things more difficult than what they really are.

There’s gotta be a good 300 people in that arena.
So in the last three weeks the Packers fans have gotten drowned out by Giants fans yelling “Cruuuuuuuz” in their own home stadium, and the Bucks have about 300 people in the house for the game after their biggest win of the season. Where’s the Rob Parker article on terrible Wisconsin fans?

Kenyon Martin here in Atlanta will guarantee a deep playoff run. Imagine Kenyon and Josh Smith…..a lot of defense, steals and blocks going on and Kenyon Martin has no fear and plays with heart. He can guard centers (except Dwight) and can score when given the chance.
That would be IDEAL and nobody would have to be traded.

I could be wrong, but Teague has not done a good job of building on these kinds of first quarters. It’s like he loses his aggressiveness in the 3rd, and if we’re lucky, it comes back in the 4th.

“Can you restructure contracts in the NBA? I have always wondered… I know it happens in NFL.”
Contracts are only partially guaranteed in the NFL, so there’s more flexibility. In the NBA I think you can restructure to an extent, but since contracts are fully guaranteed there’s not much that can be done usually. The Thunder restructured Nick Collison’s contract last year, I think, by front-loading nearly all of his deal so that they would have cap room in future years.

They can’t play Vlad in the second half if he is matched up on Ilyasova. Ilyasova was killing him. Vlad has the worst plus/minus for the Hawks, Ilyasova the best for the Bucks.
Josh has 8 points 8 boards 2 dimes zero turnovers and leads the Hawks in plus/minus, but haters keep hating.

I think LD needs to work on some end of quarter players/scramble drills, because more often than not, the JJ ISO at the end of the quarter does not result in a made basket.

Don’t know why they haven’t gone to Josh in the post more often in this game. Ilyasova is the only Buck who can come close to guarding him down there, and Josh can probably take him too.

Josh and JJ have to take over and Ivan needs to be out there. We can still pull this out,. Teague needs to be on the bench. Hes hurting us right now.

Better teams will make you pay for it, but the Bucks are garbage. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you want to make a deep playoff run, you have to hit the glass, and while it’s good to see this team do well, they aren’t better on the boards team without Horford.

I only saw the 4th, but I thought this was a Great Win! JJ and Josh really showed maturity and leadership. JJ played like a Star with the floaters and free-throws. Josh made a great space to Tracy, along with a hugh 3 and free-throws. Jeff gave up the 3, but I’m not mad at him, on first glance I think he felt like he wasn’t ready to shoot.
Jeff had some turns, but his threat to drive changes how teams play the HAWKS. Go Jeff, keep doing your THING!!

Ken Strickland cracks me up when he’s talking Hawks or Falcons. But seriously though. Never, ever bench Teague. Make sure he gets his rest, which is why Kirk can never start, cause as much as I like Pargo I just can’t trust him so Kirk has to be the backup PG.
Ditto on the Josh Smith love earlier. It burns my butt to hear all the hate for the hometown kid. Yeah he had a little attitude problem sometimes. But he has played his azz off years as a Hawk, and too many of y’all is just damn disrespectful. Call him out for a bad decision or bad game is one thing. Run him out of town? Just damn stupid. Must be carpetbagger ATLien wanna be’s.
Zaza, Zaza, Zaza. I really wish I could see Zaza as the starting center on a championship team. But I can’t. Let me try again. Nope. Can’t do it. So we have to get a big. There has to be one somewhere. Well maybe if Jeff Teague picks his game up (I think he can be a 18ppg, 8 apg kind of PG, with well above average defense), Joe keeps shooting, no matter how much he misses, and Josh keep finding ways to amaze us every night; we might overcome a little ZaZa.
I’m done with Marvin though. Got to be somebody somewhere 6′9″ or better that we can get for him in trade. My problem is that he always leaves me thinking that he could do more, or be more, if he just tried a little damn harder. When he tries, he’s not that bad; he just doesn’t try enough. He can’t be tired, cause LD makes sure he gets plenty of rest. Maybe he can go somewhere else and get his head right. I’d rather see Joe at SF, and start Willie Green at SG. Still have Kirk, TMac, and Pargo ready to pull the trigger off the bench. Joe might have an easier time defending most SF at this stage anyway, and he can get his shot against most of them.
Here’s the real question. Can that old azz bench hold up through a compressed season? Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE THE HAWKS BENCH! Best they’ve had in decades (I’ve been a fan since the 70’s). But Pargo’s knees, TMac’s backs, Vlad just looking old, Stack just is old… If they hold up, we contend for a title.

I have been assigned to this blog ecosystem by the Biz/AJC in order to determine the

I have already discovered that more than one and as many as four voyeurs who are
attempting to saturate the blog with bloggerel to the point of ad nauseum. Please be
forewarned as to the potential consequences.

“I’ll let Rod add any necessary comments to my argument although there are none to add.”
Marvin is horrible. The end.
“Marvin is the worst starter on a Playoff team in this league.”
“Derek Fisher? Big Baby Davis? Devin Harris?”
All three of those guys can walk without tripping over their own feet.

I have to say Ken doesnt strike me as the brightest bulb in the room, but hey, thats what the blog is for, say whats on your mind what ever it is in what ever language.
play teague
Grandad how long are you going to be under cover?
Damn Josh is a player. A naturalist for the game. Straight out of high school. Yall need to cast your vote his way, we are not a major market area, so to get our players out there, and to attract stars like DHoward we need to show support for the locals.
Hawks are playing as a unit, good chemistry. Its the JJ and Josh show down the stretch and knocking teams out. Winning when we are suppose too and getting it done on the road.
Nice.
Its a good day to be a hawk fan. Can’t ask for much more that this. Well we still need a center not called a big.
I dont expect us to sweep the Lakers and Clippers and Heat without a center. Lets get real. Be we are playing the best ball this team can play with this squad. With the right center we can beat any body any time. Without the center we are better than most. I not going to put an unrealistic goal on the hawks and say beat everybody all the time and win a championship with this crew. That’s not realistic or fair.
I say keep up the good work. Good job bench, good Job starters, Good Job, Josh, JJ and Teague.
Just keep the chemistry, every body, know your role and stay in your lane.
No hate-en
JJ,Josh and Teague
Shout out to the terrible terrible Ivan!
