Atlanta Hawks at Celtics Game 3: Game thread
Boston–Josh Smith (knee) is out and Marvin Williams starts at power forward. Ray Allen (ankle) will play for the first time since April 10. Rajon Rondo is back from suspension.
- Josh said he’s aiming to play in Game 4 Sunday: “I just have to rest and see how it feels. I want to get good enough to play but you never know. I don’t want to risk a domino effect and it being something more than what it is.”
- Josh tested the knee at shootaround this morning: “It felt pretty good until I started doing a lot of exploding up the basket. That’s where the pain really starts to generate when I become explosive with it. But as far as running and cutting and everything else it feels OK.”
- Yesterday Josh said he suffered the injury when Kevin Garnett banged into it while jostling for rebounding position. But he said the patellar tendonitis in his knee is a contributing factor. “I guess it caught up to me,” he said.
- The Hawks are now down their top three bigs. “Certainly it’s an uphill battle and a challenge for our team but I have all the confidence in the world these guys will step up to the challenge,” Larry Drew said.
- Josh: “We have to jell together, move the ball from side to side, and not get stagnant because this is a great defensive team. And we have to be able to match their physicality.”
- Joe Johnson: “We have just got to try to outwill them. We’ve got to find a way. We can’t dwell on or worry about what we don’t have. We have got to go for what we know. Is it going to be tough? Yeah, but it’s possible.”
- Drew said Joe still will check Paul Pierce. “Obviously with the matchup and Marvin starting at the four spot will have to do things a little differently as opposed to when Josh is in the lineup,” Drew said.
- Doc Rivers on Brandon Bass defending Marvin: “That’s hard. We worked on that all day. We thought Josh would play but we worked on the small lineup because when you look at them most of the year their best lineup has been their best lineup when they go small.”
- Joe saw heavy defensive pressure with Josh on the court. It only figures to get worse with Josh on the bench and a lack of offensive punch from among the remaining Hawks. “I’ve got to go quick or give the ball up quick and trust my teammates to make plays,” Joe said. “That’s pretty much the two things I’ve come up with. We’ll see when we get to the fourth quarter.”
- Rivers on Allen, who last played April 10: “There are no restrictions. He hasn’t played and gone up and down since he’s been injured. We’ve done some halfcourt but this is the first time he will do fullcourt since he’s been injured.”
- Suddenly Rivers is the coach warning his players not take a wounded opponent lightly: “The guys have to go out and play and at the end of the day hope they understand these are playoff games and you can’t give any away.”

Why is anyone mentioning Jamal Crawford? Crawford spent most of this past season injured. So you’re assuming that Jamal would be prefectly [sic] healthy?
———————————————————————
I hate when bloggers post [gross] lies, falsehoods, untruths, distortions, exaggerations and inaccuracies. Jamal Crawford played in 60 games [for the Blazers] of this 66-game lockout-shortened season and started [in] six of those games played. Crawford averaged 14.0ppg for the Blazers which was more than any Hawks’ player, except Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, on this year’s Hawks’ roster. Crawford played in approx. 91% of Blazers’ games played this year. Crawford missed 2-3 games because of injury, 2-3 games to give other reserves [more] playing time since the Blazers were eliminated from the playoffs and 1 game because of a potential 3-way trade between MIN, POR and LAL. Crawford also led the NBA in FT% [free throw shooting percentage] at 0.927 or 92.7%.
60/66 = 10/11 = 0.9090 = 90.9%~91%

And y’all know Celtics will crank up the defensive pressure in the second half. Hawks blew a lot of chances in the first. They would likely wilt again in the second. This Bostone team is beatable, Hawks just have to want it even more.
Now with Tracy maybe out, I hope not, Joe has to play even more smarter and faster.

Watching the replay, it looks like Rondo undercut Tracy on that jumpshot, it looks like a deliberate ploy to take out the guy hurting you.

Our guys have to quit passing to Marvin in the 1/2 court. It ends up a wasted possession. The ammunition is growing for Marvin to wave that towel with Stack and let T-Mac play a wing.

LD can’t win this game at the start of the 4th quarter, but he can lose it. Teague and Joe should play the entire rest of the game. If T-Mac gets any rest it should be temporary.
Avery Bradley is injured. That is a blessing and a curse for the Hawks, because it means Ray Allen will play probably the rest of the game if Bradley doesn’t return.

Things to do in the offseason:
1) Ship Joe and his massively awful contract elsewhere.
2) Get rid of Larry Drew and get a real NBA coach.
3) Figure out how to get Al back to full health and whether or not to keep him as part of the core.
4) Figure out the same thing with Marvin, only skip the health part. BTW, he belongs on the bench if he stays.
5) Get a real GM, not a retiree who is hanging on because he’s afraid he won’t have social security if he hangs his dingy suit up.
6) Sell the team to a single/majority owner. Don’t offer buy here/pay here financing.
7) Try not to sue anybody.
None of these things will happen, of course.

To be fair to Joe, all 4 Hawks players stand around when JJ goes iso. As JVG said. Where is the movement?
I am not a fan of JVG. But right now, I would take him over LD. 11 minutes for Pargo? Really?
No PT for Dampier down the stretch of the regular season, when he has not looked that bad.
It doesnt matter though, because ASG will say LD had to deal with injuries, and his contract is still cheap.

Twin couldn’t box out because he came over to help. Not sure that his help really altered Rondo’s shot, though. Rondo was going to miss that. Twin probably should have just focused on boxing out his man. Oh well.

Well I called the fourth quarter. Joe delivered.
I think Pierce might have made the game saving stop when he helped doubled Joe in the corner that forced him to pass the ball. Joe was on fire…and I’m willing to bet he would have made that shot if Pierce didn’t double him. Just goes to show you how valuable defense is.
You guys can say whatever you want but this was a good game. I don’t like T-Mac taking fade’s. He was an awesome asset today, but he needs to take it in more. He draws more double teams and is an underrated passer who can make plays. To many times have I seen his shot fall very short.
What REALLY upsets me….is Paul Pierce. He is good. He knows what to do. 3 – 12 from the field and ends up with 21 points. That sais a lot.
Game 4 is a need to win game. We are not out of it yet Atlanta. But without securing game 4, then we can call it a series.

The Sixers are on the verge of taking a 2-1 series lead. If the Hawks and Sixers were to advance, the Hawks would have home court in the 2nd round.
They can still win this series if they win Game 4. If Josh comes back, that is very possible. They have outscored the Celtics this series with Josh on the floor.
Still the best chance they have had in a long time, possibly ever, of getting to the ECF.

The dream is ATL’s best sports team. 2 trips to the WNBA finals.
As for the Jamal discussion…
When the Hawks went on a 15-4 run to tie it at 80, they did it by playing defense, whihch led to offense. That does not happen with Jamal in the game.
However, we only scored 4 points in the OT period, so we definitely could have used Jamal there.
Hawks need another scorer, another defender, and a HC who knows how to use them.

“When the Hawks went on a 15-4 run to tie it at 80, they did it by playing defense, whihch led to offense. That does not happen with Jamal in the game.”
Defense has nothing to do with this loss. Hawks are playing great defense. The point guard or the 2 guards are not beating us. Allen has done nothing. Bradley is hurt. It’s strictly KG and Pierce. No defense will stop those 2 guys from having good games in the playoffs.

All I saw of Pargo was missed shots and then he did one of his classic dribble into a double team under the basket and turn the ball over and LD got Teague back in. From the box score i can see he wasn’t any better in the second half.
PS I missed the second half because my wife got bored at Wild Wing on Hilton Head. Never go there unless you like non-alchoholic margaritas.

The Hawks other than Teague, Joe, T-Mac, and Damp (the four best Hawks on the floor tonight) were 9/32 (28.1%) with 14 points, 1/8 3FG, 5 assists, 8 turnovers. The only saving grace for them was 5 steals and 21 boards, 11 of them from Marvin.

I say that there is not much more of an option then get Horford, Zaza and Josh healthy and make another run. Its not like this is an ancient team.

The national tv announcer noticed something all of us have been talking about which is when we go iso joe other team members on the floor have to move with out the ball,it makes it harder for joe to do anything when his teammates are spectators and not moving with out the ball.We have to expect j smoove to not play on Sun.that would be my mind set.I believe the Cs are a bit tired after this one so aren’t we though.Teauge has really grown up outside the kick ball bringing it up ineptness Get them on Sun GO HAWKS

I think that LD has to be the worst coach in the NBA,doesn’t really deserve the credit for this team as has has given many games away such as 2 in this playoff.
