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.

Out of the timeout, they get a contested Joe jumper on one end and Kobe on Vlad on the other end. Fantastic job LD.

We should just shoot 3s
Guys on this team can’t finish 3 feet from the basket. I’m sure people on here can make floaters and point-blank layups

Looks like that timeout was LD telling the team to cooldown and save it for another night…

There’s a reason LD is the lowest paid coach in the NBA. He is a paragon of mediocrity.

Big Lou,
How many points the Hawks got this quarter? While they haven’t entirely quit they sure look like trash

Teague really needs to come off the bench, may be watch the flow to help him understand,.
