Atlanta Hawks at Lakers: Game thread
Los Angeles–It’s the usual starters for the Hawks. Steve Blake (ribs) is active for the Lakers.
- Jason Collins (elbow) has joined the team here but Larry Drew said it’s doubtful he will play on the trip. That means there’s a pretty good chance Erick Dampier will stick around for a second 10-day contract.
- Collins said the elbow is feeling a lot better and has a checkup with his doctor tomorrow. He’s eager to play. “Especially a game like tonight,” he said.
- Kirk Hinrich said he “feels great” physically and sounds as if he’s ready for more minutes: “I’m just staying patient.”
Hawks players gathered around Josh Smith’s IPad to watch Knicks underdog sensation Jeremy Lin hit a game-winning 3 at Toronto.

I guess Damp can blow Teague assists just as well as Zaza.

Honest question. Who would you rather have, Matt Barnes or Marvin?
That’s why the contract Sund doled out to him is so laughably bad. We could have had someone like Barnes for 75% of the cost and gotten more production. Sund should be fired for that move alone.

It’s a nationwide theme that Marvin [Williams] is a bust.

If the Hawks settle down with the mistakes, they will win this game soundly. Too many turnovers that should have been easy points–8 to be exact.

I’ll take Teague’s point blank range attempts from driving over Josh and Marvin jump shots any day.

Keep being aggressive Teague. Even though the floater missed, keep being aggressive. Missed shots at the rim are a lot better than missed shots from the perimeter.

Teague misses floater, Marvin is there for the putback.
KEEP BEING AGGRESSIVE AND GETTING SHOTS AT THE RIM.

Followed by a clear offensive foul for no reason. Don’t let Marvin fool you.

Hawks offense would be better if Hinrich ran with the starters rather than teague.

I’m telling you guy, the Hawks should be winning by at least 10. The only player that is doing good on the Lakers is Bynum. The turnovers is the difference in this game.

Kobe has not hit a shot. We should be up by 10. We will be in trouble in the 2nd half.

“Kobe 1-8, I can deal with this anyday.”
Credit to Joe for that. He isn’t doing anything else worth while…

If we can keep the Laker bigs contained at least to a degree, we are going to win.
