Warriors at Atlanta Hawks: Game thread
- Joe Johnson (knee) is in the starting lineup. Larry Drew said he will monitor how Joe feels to determine how much he will play. “I know with tendinitis the best thing for it is rest,” Drew said. “Hopefully these days off will benefit him.”
- Drew said he doesn’t ever plan to make Joe a healthy scratch for the sake of giving him days off: “At this stage of the season, I don’t think it will be a case of giving him days to rest. If we do anything, we will cut his minutes down. Since the season is still in full bloom, we just have to grind it out with the way the season is. What we are cutting back on is the practice. Those are the recovery days now.”
- Vladimir Radmanovic (ill) is out. “He’s had some problems with his stomach,” Drew said. “He missed shootaround, came to the arena to warm up and it started bothering him again. So we went ahead and just sent him home.”
- Zaza Pachulia (calf) is active.
- Erick Dampier’s second 10-day contract expired so the Hawks have to sign him for the rest of the season to keep him. They have yet to do so but said they expect to complete a deal tomorrow. Dampier is at the arena tonight.
- No word on if Al Horford (chest) was cleared to begin rehab.
- Jason Collins (elbow) said he’s scheduled to begin rehab Friday.
- Stephen Curry (foot) is out for the Warriors.

Najeh,
With Curry out, do you want to change your final score differential?

Way too early in the clock for that jumper, especially with Joe standing in the corner.

Josh and the jumpers drains the hell out of the other guys. Just watch the defense after he starts clucking.

I am at work so I will not see the game until I get home. I get in more arguements about JT being a point guard. NOBODY except Zaza runs a pick and roll and he is a horrible finisher.

“With Curry out, do you want to change your final score differential?”
Nah, I knew Curry would be out. I used my first round fantasy pick on him unfortunately. I just think the Warriors’ bench is going to keep them in this game, particularly Robinson and Udoh.

Is JJ’s leg not feeling better? His 3-pt shooting woes have picked up right where they left off.
And Josh has had 2 bad jumpers already.

I’ve never seen such bad body language from a TEAM in my life. The Hawks look like a bunch of guys just running around playing pickup games.

Teague has been told to pass the ball and get the heck out of the way. Just doesnt look like the sameplayer. Damn you LD for letting this shizz go on. Might as well trade him now. He’s done here.

Luke, hate to tell ya, but Jeff can’t finish at the rim. I can’t quote the exact stat number but he’s in the lower tier of guards percentage-wise within 2 ft of the rim.

Dunno why all the haters here don’t like Kirk, but he’s still a damn good combo guard. Obviously not as quick as Jeff, but he’s so much better at running the offense and he’s much more intelligent basketball-wise (son of coach, so you expect that).

The Hawks NEED Al Horford. I wish Joe johnson was injured instead of Al horford.
