Nets at Atlanta Hawks: Game thread
- Zaza Pachulia (Achilles) and Vladimir Radmanovic (back) are out. Marvin Williams and Ivan Johnson return.
- Larry Drew is starting Jason Collins in place of Zaza. The Nets have Shelden Williams starting at center with Brook Lopez (ankle) out.
- Drew on starting Twin: “He’s been a starter before and he gives us a defensive presence. I like getting him back into the starting lineup. I hate doing it under these conditions but at least he gets back into a rhythm against the starters. Since he’s just getting back I think it will be getting him back with that starting group. I’m excited to see how he responds to it.”
- Zaza says he was worried about his Achilles because it was hurting yesterday but it felt better when he woke up today. He said he plans to make the trip for tomorrow’s game at the Wizards.
- Drew said Vlad Rad shot around at yesterday’s light practice: “He still won’t be available to play. It sounds like the back is getting better. He still will be day-to-day.”
- Ivan’s new baby, born Wednesday, is named Ivan Kaydan Johnson Jr.:“It’s a new start to my life. Hopefully I can get him to where I’m at right now without all the extra journeys. Everybody congratulated me so it made me feel good to be a new pop.”
- ESPN dropped the April 11th Hawks-Celtics game in favor of Knicks at Bucks.

Someone needs to reign Josh in, there is no way he should be allowed to take this many shots.

Dnt understand why all our starters are out u got to leave josh in unfortunately that’s how it is when you’re a lot of ur options are injured u can’t just take out all of your scorers in close gms at one time…drew does this every close gm against lesser opponents I can understand if no one was injured but that’s not the case!

LD plays Tracy for six minutes…and tomorrow he wont get any burn…and LD will say its because its the second night of a back to back…shouldn’t he be playing Tracy 25 minutes in this game..If he’s not going to play him tomorrrow…thats why LD is a idiot…he doesn’t know how to coach…

Josh give the ball up. You’re playing at a speed faster than the rest of the Hawks.

If it isn’t a Josh post up, Joe catch and shoot, or Teague dribble drive, it’s probably going to be a brick or a turnover.

knicks to lose tonight. josh stay inside dude.
yes jefferey.
anyone say why jeff got a clear path foul when he chose to be easy on the guy and keep him from going up to be injured. that is exactly the foul that should be encouraged from behind instead of the type where both guys are skying.

Teague is a good shooter when his feet are SET. I don’t even know why LD goes to him in crunch time.

Really, Teague needs to start talking about some refs’ mothers. He needs to do something to make them give him some respect.
