Knicks at Atlanta Hawks: Game thread
- Larry Drew initially said he would start Jason Collins at center but left open the possibility of changing the lineup if Tyson Chandler doesn’t play. It turns out Chandler will sit, Landry Fields starts and Amar’e Stoudemire is at center. Drew will counter with Josh Smith at center and Marvin Williams at power forward.
- Zaza Pachulia remains out and Drew said he’s still not sure if he will be available for the start of the playoffs: “I’m hoping so. He’s certainly doing better than, from my understanding, what they had anticipated. There is some progress with the injury and where he is with it.”
- Al Horford put his chances of being ready for the first round at 70 percent. Drew: “We are keeping our fingers crossed but we are not totally counting on him. We don’t want to have wishful thinking. When they told us about the surgery that the probability would be very slim so at that point made our mind up we would not get him back.”
- Drew said he anticipates Horford would play “not very many” minutes if he returns: “We would have to work him in gradually. I wouldn’t want to throw him right into the fire. I know his conditioning is not very good because he’s been off for so long. It would be a gradual process to get him back adjusted. It will really be how he feels. When you lay off for that long it’s tough to get your legs under you.”

Dumb move putting Josh at Center. Should have let Collins or Diamper start if he wanted Ivan coming off the bench. Amare is a shell of himself, why worry about him? Keep Collins at center and let the Knicks continue to have chemistry issues trying to mesh Amare and Melo.

Doc,
It doesn’t matter what role you put Marvin in, he’s too uncoordinated and clumsy of a player to be an effective score at this level. Hawks fans may as well accept the fact that this guy is very limited.

I dont know what it is, but the announcers the last two games on ESPN including Wilbon, Barry , Magic, and Brussard do not mention Atlanta at all. The game against the Celtics, they didnt even talk about the game, they talked about Knicks-Cavaliers. Today, they are only talking about the knicks, how lovely lol. and we get hawk basher Douris Bourke

If the Hawks get homecourt against the Celtics I expect the Hawks to win the series. There shouldnt be any excuses even without Horford. I expect Zaza to play. It would validate the season getting the Hawks to the second round with all the injuries the Hawks have had.

“There SHOULDN’T be . . . .” – Very true, but we’ll hear them anyway.

DawgNole,
Grandad just tries to say sophisticated stuff while attacking everyone’s opinions on here. I’ve gotten used to it and usually just ignore him
________________________
Yeah, GM, I’m about through defending myself. What these old fa*ts and too many others continue to dance around is the only issue that really matters: winning championships–something ATL pro teams obviously know very little about.
You and only a few others care enough about winning it all to take the teams and their delusional blog supporters to task. Guess we’re in the minority, but hey, someone’s got to take a stand against satisfaction with a half-century of mediocrity. Glad y’all are on board.

The Thunder think they’re going to be able to re-sign James Harden. LOL. A Co-worker and I were having a convo about a week ago about who New Jersey will go after, since they seem to be out of the Dwight Howard sweepstakes ( for now ).
I said that they’ll go right after James Harden. After these playoffs, Harden’s stock will be sky high, and it will be very hard for OKC to hold onto him after the 2012 – 13 season is over. He’s going to get a MAX contract.

Vlad should never get minutes in the playoffs ( especially if Zaza can go ). And you also have to watch T-Mac. His game is on or off. He’s off as hell today. If he had a game like this in the playoffs, you’d have to reduce his minutes.

hahaha . . yeah ESPN.
But like was said in the last blog, to get respect you have to win. Beat Boston in a playoff series, and maybe that will go a long way in changing the perception. Beat the Bulls in the next round, and they’ll HAVE to acknowledge our presence . . even if they’ll be slobbing all over Miami.

Big Lou . . he was wide open. You’re not going to get a better look than what he got. Any good 3 point shooter in the league takes that shot if they’re that open. He’s had it going today, so I have no problem with that shot.
Now if he were 2 – 8 FG, that would’ve been a horrible shot. But he was 6 – 7 FG with 2 made threes before that miss.
No problem with that shot whatsoever.

There were more than a few predictions on here over the past couple of days that the Hawks would win this one easily. They’ve played well lately, but we cannot forget that they ARE the Hawks. They ARE an ATL pro team. They were ON national TV.
A shame Marvy couldn’t have dunked the game winner, as solid a game as he had today.

More free throw attempts does not equate biased officiating always. There was key points in the game that bad calls were clearly made. Jeff Teague’s ‘offensive foul’ didn’t create FTs, and also took away a three pint play.

My cousin asked my aunt who was Jeff? My Aunt said,he’s a player with the hawks why?
Then Cherelle said,I think the bald headed guy was referring to him when he told lala’s husband and 2 other guys to “go after jeff,and do whatever you got to do to get in his head because he is soft and is easily out of focus when you piss him off”..
No lie..Cause i got a kick out of the knicks just talking trash to him and i never gave it a 2nd thought after trash talking in the 3rd (i think thats when melo was talking ish to him)..I was like,dang what did Jeff do because he is not a talker..

Two very competitive and interesting nationally televised Hawks games. The national media have come accustomed to the Hawks laying the big egg on the national spot light, thus the snub at the half and Doris Burke for color commentary. Overall it’s pleasant to watch the Hawks now. The iso Joe ball and the Jamal” score at any cost” ball Crawford is a thing of the past. My great concern with LD and the Hawks is the Highlight Factory has become the Turnover Factory. They are way too careless with the ball even coming out of a time out. LD and the players have to fix the turnover problem too be playoff giant killer.

Evenly matched game on the stat sheet. Both teams shot 54% in FG, close to the same on 3pt 63.2% to our 65.2%. However, FT was different with them shooting 75% to our 65%. It was just a hard fought game.
The last play was not executed well. Even if Marvin had made it, he still had the ball in his hand when the game ended and the dunk would not have counted. He needed to have that count in his head so he knew he would have to pull up and shoot. Maybe Amare would have fouled him. Anyway, it is done.
By the way, it would not surprised me if Woody did make a comment to get into Teague’s head to his team. JT was one of the top 3 scorers for the game but Joe, Marving and Jeff were all around 9-14 in FG’s for the night, but LD chose to sit him for the last play and Jeff did not look happy. He was replaced by Willie Green. Green is not shy about taking shots and it was obvious that Jeff was reluctant to take shots on the perimeter. He is going to have to get over that if he wants to move up to the next level.

I do beat good team….most of you just remember the loses..
Check the record…Any team with 20 loses, have lost most of those games to good teams.
A little perspective.

THe Knicks are an average team….what does that say about us?
Does anyone remember when Marvin has had the ball in his hands for a game winner? That might be the very first time in his pro or college career. Did you expect something good to happen either? I didn’t and Marvin has something else to work on.

“Apparently you DON’T get it. They’ve been “okay” with losses here for almost half a century. How has that worked out?”
I do get it.
I just don’t give a sh!t. This win would not make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
Playoffs is where it matters. If they can get past the second round, then it’s a step in the right direction.

ALL wins make a difference–a HUGE difference. It’s called the difference between winning and losing, which is always significant.
Yes, winning in Round 2 would be a step in the right direction. NOTHING short of that!

I shrewdly stated we do not beat good teams ENOUGH.
Please let us know the record.

Teague deserves to be sat down at the end of the game when we are trying to win on a 1/2 court play. Teague is not as good a FT shooter nor as good a jump shooter as Willie.
I take my chances with Willed over Teague in that situation.

3 biggest reasons for this loss (imo).
1) Defense. Giving up 113 points, and letting the opposing team shoot 54% is terrible.
2) Missed FT. We have lost multiple games this season due to missed FT.
3) Turnovers. 19 today. In the last 2 games, Josh has 12 turnovers alone (I think he tries to do too much at times). JJ had 3 today, and Teague had 4.
In the playoffs, missed FTs and turnovers will be huge (imo).

doc,
What did you think of Teague’s game today, especially in the first half?

I know it’s off subject, but did you’ll see Meta World Peace take out James Harden of OKC? I always thought that this dude was a couple o’ cans short of a 6 pack; it just confirms what I thought-that what may be best for “Ron Artest” is a prefrontal lobotomy for the protection of all mankind.

I often get on Marvin’s case, but today-I won’t. Why? Because Marvin grew into a man today; he grew from raisins to nuts. Now-he needs to take that same energy into the playoffs to help get his team past the first round. Cause you know, this may be his last hurrah, and I think he realizes and read the Gwinnett Post article about NFL busts. That article can apply to any major league sport.

Sorry about that last post, JeJe and Walt.
It was actually Walt’s post (on Marvin) that I was commenting on; made it look like JeJe’s. My bad.

OB, did dc call Teague a scrub incapable of every playing well? Just wondering?
With about 2:20 left in the game, Joe drew a double team and passed to a wide open Teague behind the 3 point line. Teague gave the ball up immediately like it was a hot potato.
He is coming along but his next step is showing more late game confidence, especially when he is wide open. If he refuses to attack the defense in the 4th quarter, the opposing PG will double Joe and Josh everytime down the floor.
It was a thrilling game. Hawks can’t lose focus at the free throw line like they have done several times this season. A few less of those careless TOs would have been nice.
BTW, can’t get too excited about a game that featured such anomolies as over a dozen made 3-pointers and Marvin going the F off.
Fun game.

Lakers came back from 17 down vs a title contender and may win.
The only teams we come back from 17 down against are the Bobcats and Wizards.
No problem, DN.
