Atlanta Hawks at Hornets: Game thread
Jeff Teague will start at point guard for the Hawks tonight against the Hornets. Teague said he felt “fine” despite the sprained ankle that limited him during Friday’s win against Pistons.
“Jeff is a go,” coach Larry Drew said before the game. “He was moving around on it pretty good yesterday. He hasn’t mentioned that it is bothering him to the point that we have to limit him. We’ll keep an eye on him. Right now, he is a full go.”
Drew said he would split reserve minutes between Kirk Hinrich and Jannero Pargo.
“He has been playing really well for us,” Drew said of Pargo. “That’s why we got him.”
Hinrich, who played 31 minutes against the Pistons after Teague left late in the third quarter, said he is working to regain form as quickly as possible.
“I want to get my game back,” Hinrich said. “I feel rusty and I just want to help any way I can right now and get my rhythm back.”
* Austin Barker, a 17-year-old high school student from Mississippi scheduled for a bone marrow transplant this week, was the guest of Hawks trainer Wally Blase Sunday.
Barker, who is at Tulane Children’s Hospital, attended the game with his father and two friends. He received a hat signed by the Hawks.
The non-profit organization Sunshine Kids brought Baker’s situation to Blase’s attention. Blase worked with the Hornets to organize the outing.

Ray, they also lost to the Heat without wade and lebron and collapsed in epic fashion against chicago. they got killed by over 500 teams like the pacers, sixers AND rockets, spurs. Anything can happen, but I dont see them doing to well in Feb.

Teague needs to stop with the ball hogging and learn how to play in sync. He is not a very bright.

I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but Marvin is doing his best Shane Battier impression.

Josh caught that in the paint with a chance to go up and get fouled, and passed it out to Joe. Sometimes it’s possible to be too unselfish…

@ Wild Boy
I’m only talking about East teams the west teams can scare us in the FINALS! lol
I already said the two teams I’m more worried about is Pacers and Sixers cause both starting to come into their own.
Bulls are not as great as people think they are and the Heat well we know how to stop them lol.
As for Spurs and Rockets(probably a fluke game never know it was early in the short season) They could be a problem, but again won’t know until the finals.

Teague needs to stop hogging the ball. We should be up 15 now but teague is not a court general just a ball hog.
Thats a great trade Teague and Al for Howard. Why the hatred like “trash” and “GTFO” such passion. Gentlemen whats up with that ?

@ Busta Rhyme
You think thank goodness you’re not a GM you’d be just like the Governer of MS pardoning those prisoners.
Teague and Al for Dwight as much as we need a C I wouldn’t give up both of them just for someone who’s a rental at best.

A hater is someone who looks to criticize for the sake of criticizing with no factual basis.
Teague is playing great.

Teague is a ball hog and just dont get it. His hogging is whats putting the hawks out of sync. We should be up 15-20 against these guys but instead it a close game
