Atlanta Hawks at Celtics: Game 6 thread
7:45 pm May 10, 2012, by Michael Cunningham
Boston–The Celtics said Paul Pierce has a sprained left MCL. Doc Rivers: “It’s not the best situation but he’s going to play. We have to find out what he can do on the floor. We have to find the most effective way he can score. He said he has more life energy-wise [than Game 5], but the knee is the same.”
-
Same starting lineup for Hawks. Larry Drew on the lineup in Game 5: “It did pretty much what I expected. We’ve been waiting on Marvin [Williams] to make some shots. He’s had some good looks.”
- Drew on Hawks’ health: “They are holding their own. We have got some guys that are a little banged up. But looking around the league, other teams do as well. It’s playoff time. The play has been very physical. We have just got to push through it.”
- Drew on Josh Smith: “I think he’s getting better. He’s been battling a sore knee pretty much the whole season. He’s been quiet about it. He knows we need him and he has to play hurt, so that’s what he’s doing. I give him a lot of credit for that. I do think he’s showing signs of the knee improving.”
- Josh said he would spend extra time pregame getting warm: “I feel a little better. It takes a little bit of time for the knee to get warmed up.”
- Zaza Pachulia got up some shots at shootaround for the first time since he injured his foot. “It went well,” he said. “Honestly I wasn’t expecting to participate in the shootaround. Mindset leaving hotel was kind of watch it. Went up to doctor, he ran a couple tests and said, ‘Why don’t you try to shoot?’ Body was feeling great. I was able to finish.”
- Zaza said a return in the second round if the Hawks advance is “more realistic” than playing in Game 7 Saturday if they win tonight.
- Drew on minutes for Al Horford and the other starters: “These guys have been piling up a lot of minutes. It’s just a situation where we are trying to win a game. If the game is getting away from us, I have got to get my starters back in there. This is do or die for us.”
- Al said he feels like his defensive timing is off in help situations but “on the ball I feel strong.”
- More Al: “For sure I have fresher legs but I don’t know if that’s totally an advantage. These guys have been in a rhythm. I’m just trying to make it work for me.”
- Josh on Al: “He has fresher legs than everyone in the series. Why not play him?”
- Drew on Kirk Hinrich’s limited playing time after halftime in Game 5: “I anticipated playing Kirk more in the second half. But Jeff [Teague] has the speed and we needed that. As long as [Rajon] Rondo is in the game, Jeff will be in there defending him.”
- More Doc Rivers on Pierce’s knee: “He’s not going to get to the line as much. That’s just the way it is. We have to create other ways. We can get Kevin to the post more but they are doubling him so it makes it hard for him to get to the line, too. We have to create other ways.”
- Don in Mickael Pietrus’ shooting struggles: “When your shot doesn’t go in and you are not a great player, then it can cause your confidence to drop.” Doc said Marquis Daniels could take some of Pietrus’ minutes: “He can guard Joe [Johnson] almost as well. But the thing with ‘MP’ is they still guard him at the 3-point line. With Marquis, they would not. It would be another guy they could leave.”
- Drew on the keys to getting off to a better start here than in Game 4: “Shot selection and not turn the ball over. We were in a hurry last game. We made a lot of early, ill-advised passes. We didn’t explore our options. We were looking to one side, and Boston is too good for that.”
- Josh on the Celtics: “I see them trying to come out early and establish themselves and get the crowd into it and try to make it into a physical game.”
Michael Cunningham, Hawks beat

The Hawks fans sure do whine about injuries a lot. The Celtics have more.
Jeff Green, gone. Heart surgery. Chris Wilcox, gone. Heart surgery. Ray Allen, hobbled by bone spurs. Paul Pierce, sprained MCL. Kevin Garnett, inflamed hip flexors. Avery Bradley, strained shoulder in his shooting arm after a dislocation the other night. Mickael Pietrus, hamstring injury.
And yes, they are an older crew.
More age, more injuries.
Suck it up, and thanks for the warm up, Atlanta.

“Al said he feels like his defensive timing is off in help situations but “on the ball I feel strong.”
If this is what his help defense looks like when his timing is off, his timing should stay off. He played better help defense in Game 5 than he has played in a long time.

“I anticipated playing Kirk more in the second half. But Jeff [Teague] has the speed and we needed that. As long as [Rajon] Rondo is in the game, Jeff will be in there defending him.”
So WTF does Willie Green have that Kirk doesn’t? I am not the biggest Kirk fan and I obviously support playing Teague over him, but Kirk is better than Willie Green.

LMAO at this whining. Celtics fans were killing Jeff Green last year because he sucked. Now he’s some indispensable piece?
Wilcox has sucked his entire career. And if you want to complain about old people and their nagging injuries, well, our entire bench belongs in a retirement home. GTFOH

Nice end to the quarter. Good contest, good shot. I hope it stands.
Other than a few problems getting around screens and rotating, Hawks did a pretty good job on D that quarter. Hopefully they keep it up.
Would also help if the game was called evenly, which currently it is not. I don’t mind the no-call on T-Mac, but if Josh’s block on Ray Allen was a foul, then Stiemsma fouled both Al and Teague on their drives earlier in the quarter.

What is wrong with Larry Drew? He has no one on the court that’s a scorer, except McGrady-and they’re not flowing with anything productive. Dampier is too slow and continues to make turnovers. It’s not all his fault, but the other Hawks don’t know his limitations and are passing the ball to him; he’s not looking for the ball (to shoot), so why are they still looking for him?

I understand not wanting Teague to pick up his 3rd foul, but he puts in Pargo to guard Rondo because Kirk also has 2 fouls, and Rondo burned the hell out of Pargo. Hawks got lucky. Kirk is a bench player. If he picks up his 3rd foul, no big deal.

I don’t know where to find the breakdown of transition vs. half court, but I actually thought the Hawks defended well in the half court that half. Most of Boston’s efficient scoring was done in transition, at least from what I saw. Boston is shooting 47.5%. If the Hawks can limit their transition opportunities, that number is almost surely going to go down.
One way to do that is by crashing the offensive glass and making the Celtics account for the Hawks on the boards, which the bench did well but the starters didn’t do so well.

Hawks simply need to keep grinding. Stay within striking distance and don’t let this lead expand close to double digits.
Drew may want to opt to go with Dampier over Horford, if he affects Garnett’s scoring.
JJ 4 – 6 FG for 10 pts in that 3rd quarter. He’s 6 for his last 8 for 14 points. After that horrendous start, he’s starting to come alive. We may need more though.

Smith’s bad coast-to-coast drives are also back…though he did draw the foul.
Josh + Joe = 13 of 32 from the field. We can’t win like this when Horford gets just 5 shots (but hey, Joe got his shots, didn’t he?), Teague getting stuffed in the lane, and Marvin being forgotten after a fabulous first half.

“Okay Najeh, you got your wish…slowpoke Kirk outta there LMAO.”
And as soon as he goes out, Teague gets a steal and a breakaway dunk, and now Josh is going to the line.
When Teague is out there, they have to account for his quickness and ability to penetrate. When Kirk is out there, they have to account for… what exactly?
I like Kirk’s ability to defend Ray Allen, but that’s the only role he needs to play. Kirk at PG has been a disaster all season.

Defense creates offense:
Josh plays great defense and tosses a risky azz alley-oop to Horford for the slam. Hawks down 1.
And it’s almost ISO JJ time . . but it shouldn’t be if we’re losing. Hawks simply need to move that ball around and get the best shot possible.
Horford has scored the last 6 points.

The Hawks do need stronger coaching. If for nothing else, we need to convince McGrady to come back and not have him leave because he has a poor relationship with LD. More importantly, someone who can draw up pick and roll or screen and rolls to help Joe Johnson get better looks when we want him to have the ball for scoring opportunities. I can’t stand looking at defense sag against Joe with his dribble-drive.

The Hawks were never ready. Even if they had won the series-Philly had the Hawks number and would have swept them in the next round. Say goodbye to Larry Drew. He’s outta here. Sell this team, ASG.

1–The development of Jeff Teague as a good NBA point guart

If the core is not changed for real this time, the Hawks will not be worth watching.
LD needs to go. He’s no better than Woodson, they just have different flaws.
The ASG needs to go, but they can’t seem to even sell a team the right way…owner financing is a bunch of broke-a$$ BS that only loser owners would try.
Either commit to an offense that employs two PFs and no center (except when substitutions are made) or you must choose between Josh and Al. They can’t both play one position, and clearly both are suited to the same position.
Get Joe out of here. We are paying him too much NOW, and it will only get worse as the years go by. Worst contract in the NBA right now. Seriously. Dude is barely even a star player, certainly not a superstar. Paul Pierce is clearly better, and all the noise about Joe aging gracefully is so untrue.

Marvin’s performance tonight may have made him more tradeable than ever. Good game by him.
The rest of the guys had their moments in spurts, but simply couldn’t get it done. Too bad.
Gearon . . it’s time you stop the loyalty to players and remake this team. Start with the General Manager and Coach. They may not be as bad as we all say they are, but it’s time for a REAL change.

I know there’s a lot of frustration on here, but let post a couple of true things. If Atlanta has Za Za and Al from the start of this series, they take this in five. Second, they Hawks lost. A great player had a great game. There’s a reason that Kevin Garnette is going to the Hall of Fame, same with Pierce, same with Allen. They’re great players, and when the chips are down and it’s make or break, they’re going to take and make the big shot because they’ve been doing since the last dinosaur dropped of the scene. Now, to all of you folks that are saying blow up the team, really?! This starting unit played less than ten games together the whole year, but they still had enough to Chemistry to take Boston to the limit! Blow it up? Go learn something about basketball. The Detroit Pistons didn’t just beat the Celtics, they had to play them year after year and get turned back time after time. Chicago had to overcome Detroit, and that wasn’t done over night. Now, granted, the Hawks haven’t done it the easy way. They didn’t (or couldn’t) go out and buy three hall of famers or convince three of the best players in the game to come together to try and win a championship. They built through the draft and free agency, and as far as I’m concerned what Larry Drew did this year, with the team on hand was nothing short of a miracle.

I Luv the Hawks!!!!! This was a great game, and they left everything on the court. LD made adjustments for the second half. The Hawks need a coach with a alpha personality, however; LD did a great job tonight. Smoove broke my heart, and BAWSE has to shake the miss free throw off. If we had AL for the entire season, we would’ve entered the playoffs with at least the #2 seed.
Big Al is a beast.
Peace to all my Hawks Fans. I really enjoyed reading the blog this year.

“Serious question: is there ANY way to break up core and still be a Playoff team? Why do we HAVE to rebuild?”
Unless they trade Joe + either Josh or Al for Dwight, I don’t think so.
If they can’t pull off a Dwight trade, they should salary dump Joe and try to be a player in the 2013 free agent summer when CP3 and Dwight’s contracts will expire.
I think it is time for Joe to go. He will get more and more untradeable with each passing year. They need to move him while he still has value. They went 4-2 this year without him, with three wins over playoff teams. I think they will be fine, and will have much more salary cap flexibility.
If they can trade Joe and amnesty Marvin, they will be in very good shape to retool on the fly without having to blow things up.

““Josh is 20 feet away from the hoop. What should he have done?” He should have driven the ball to the goal and make the officials blow the whistle. See, that isn’t to hard now is it?”
With 5 seconds on the shot clock and his handles? If you really think he can get to the hoop that easily, you haven’t been watching him long enough. More likely he dribbles it off his foot or gets it taken away by a collapsing help defender.
It was a bad shot, but it was also a broken play.

Josh probably wants to go, now. Especially if he thinks Joe ain’t going anywhere. That’s not cool, but the Hawks have to be smart about this. Something has to change between Al, Joe, and Josh.
We cannot go on with this 3 team captains thing.
And we cannot go on with these 3 guys on the team. It just can’t work. Or at least, we have not yet hired a coach who can make it work. Even with a top shelf coach, it’s likely too late to change the culture without changing at least one of these players. Two may not be necessary, but one is definitely going to need to happen.
So if Josh wants out, we have to find a way to let him go, but getting something worthwhile in return. I think we can forget getting equal value, but we can’t go with just trash and bad contracts.
If Josh wants to stay, the first thing I’d do is find a way to get Joe out of here. You just can’t have him and Joe on the same team anymore. There is a fundamental problem involving those two, and I think most of us can see that. Josh carried this team while Al was out and while Joe was hurt/not hurt/hurt/not hurt/WTFE….
Moving Horford is an option, but he’s too good of a PF to let go without getting some sort of ruffian/quality center type that can do all of the defensive and rebounding dirty work for the Hawks, and do it for at least 25 min per game.
Did we lose?

Stupid referees playing favorites. They even wanted Boston to win. Why didn’t Drew stand up for his players when the ref called the foul before the ball was inbounded. Looks like he didn’t even care. Quit being Mr. Nice guy. The reason Josh took that bad shot is because we don’t try and run our offense until we ge the shot clock down to 10 swconds and then we have to heave one up. That’s stupidity. Of course, you have to make your free throws Al in that situation. No excuses when you’re down to that point.

I’d be willing to take on a Kirk Hinrich-like “bad contract” and a role player (a useable one, mind you) to get this done. Maybe that’s not the smartest thing in the world, but change is hard and sometimes quite painful. And it has to be done.

And another thing, the Hawks showed up. They could have laid an egg. They could have got blitzed by 50 (as some of you predicted), but they didn’t. They played, they competed, and they lost, and that happens, but they played with all the heart and all the fire and all the determination that the best Hawks fans had expected, and my hat’s off to them.
**************
I agree . . but you still have to trade one or two of our top 3 players.
This team is talented, but fundamentally flawed. And it’s because we don’t have a playmaker at PG that can maximize the offensive abilities of these guys . . . or a low post scorer that can score the basketball consistently down on the blocks and/or get to the FT line.
That, and the fact that we aren’t a consistently good rebounding team, kills us vs elite competition.
Good, but not great. And at some point, good simply isn’t good enough. If you’re not striving for greatness after you become good, then why are you even in the game? ( talking mainly about management )
Definitely not mad at Teague, although he did have a poor game. But without a true pass first PG, these group of guys were never maximized. Blame that on management.
Just get somebody in that front office that knows how to build a TEAM. That’s all I ask during the off-season.

The AGONY is over and I am personally looking for some ECTASY. When you live by the JOSH you die by the JOSH. There was a reason Phillie chose a Elton Brand who had lost a step and some leaping ability over the JOSH and it was simply basketbaall IQ. The draft is coming and it is time to look for a trade, a mid to late 1st round pick for the JOSH. ISO ’s contract is coming up to be renewed, a 14 mill offer and if he turns that down then it’s time to sing a Ray Charles song….”Hit the road Jack”. Marvin is Mr. Amnesty we all know that and Kirk, it was nice knowing ya.
The HAWKS need to resign Jeff, Ivan, T-MAC, Janero, Willie, Damp and Twin and with the extra dollars the HAWKS will have, there will be at least 2-3 damn good players that could be added to go along with Al and Zsa Zsa. I am glad this year is over and looking forward to next and hopefully managment will be wise enough to figure out that a change is definitely needed. LD managed somehow to keep this limp wristed team in contention but I won’t cry if another coach is chosen over him. See ya’ll next year.

Emotions aside … we had a good season, better than expected given Boss was hurt since before MLK Holiday.
I esp. hate losing to BOS but they kept going to the well, and we could not stop Garnett all night with him posting up Smoove or shooting over the top. We had them on the ropes but didn’t cash in on a couple of possesions to extend the lead. Give them credit.
The thing I hate the most, on top of losing the series, is that we have now justified all the vitriol aimed at our team from all of the national NBA pundits, regardless of how tough we played. Game Nos. 2, 3, 5, and 6 were in the mid-to-low 80s and came down to the final 2 minutes or less. That is where the series was lost as we went 1-3 in those.

And Josh DID have an option. I show that Shawn Kemp dunking on Alton Lister play all the time. It took Kemp all of 2 seconds to get to the rim.
The point is if Josh catches that ball and attacks the rim, they either have to foul him, or he’s going to have one of the more spectacular playoff dunks in history . . in the Boston Garden.
But Josh ALWAYS settles for that 20 foot jumper . . just like JJ ALWAYS settles for that floater, instead of going hard to the hole.
It’s just what these players do. I’m not mad at them for this game, but they simply can’t elevate their games to elite level. Not without significant help.
So yes, even with 3 seconds, Josh could’ve easily gotten into the lane at least, if not the rim.
That’s not what lost us the game . . it’s just what people will remember the most.

That’s just not going to happen. When good players get traded, more often than not the team trading the good player ends up with trade exceptions, non-lottery picks (because the team receiving the good player gets better), and expendable young players. The Deron Williams and Carmelo Anthony are rare exceptions, and Josh isn’t going to command anything like that on the trade market. More likely, the Hawks get something like what Minnesota got for Al Jefferson or Memphis got for Pau Gasol. And Memphis got lucky as HELL that Marc Gasol developed into what he is now, because nobody had him projected for that.

Keeping this team together is the equivalent of the Dallas Cowboys keeping Tony Romo at QB. Romo ( statistically ) is one of the best QBs in the league. But you’re not going to win with him.
It just may be time to accept that we’re not going to win with Josh or JJ or Al, and need a new “leader”. It’s been 5 years. How long are we NOT going to take a risk on trading a player, for another star or borderline star that maybe just needs a new team to play on.

We got jobbed by the refs bigtime (especially that inbounds play) but JJ not dunking, Smoove thinking he was Rashard Lewis in the end and the missed FT by All NBA Al…Still proud of this team for the fighgt they displayed. Can we get Sloan and Nash up in here this off season?
Peace to the blog fam – its been a good year.

“And Josh DID have an option. I show that Shawn Kemp dunking on Alton Lister play all the time. It took Kemp all of 2 seconds to get to the rim.
The point is if Josh catches that ball and attacks the rim, they either have to foul him, or he’s going to have one of the more spectacular playoff dunks in history . . in the Boston Garden.”
You need to watch that play again. Bass is right up in his grill. There are 5 seconds on the clock. And most importantly, Josh’s handles are not that good.
Boston was literally bear hugging Josh and Al that entire possession. You really think Josh is getting a foul call if he goes to the rim? Get real.
Most likely scenario if Josh tries to drive: he tries to go left, Bass cuts him off, he drives right, a guard collapses, and either a) the guard strips Josh of the ball, or b) Josh kicks it out to a shooter who doesn’t get the shot off in time.
Nobody in this league is going to not shoot in that situation. Not Blake Griffin, not Kevin Love, nobody.

At least the Celtics fans on their blog are admitting that that the refs gave them the benefit of some calls ans basically the game
The Celtics looked absolutely gassed tonight. They might get smoked by Philly or swept by the Heat.
I thought the two keys were when the Hawks I believe had a three point lead late and then let Paul Pierce go inside for a layup to cut it to one. Also, not getting that key offensive rebound up one letting Hollins get an offensive rebound which setup the Kevin Garnett turnaround shot.
Lets be honest Garnett won this game by himself. Rondo didnt do much neither did Allen or Pierce or anyone else.
Poor execution down the stretch by the Hawks. Why did Joe Johnson take a jumpshot up 3 i believe with Ryan Hollins guarding him? Also Josh Smith had some questionsable shots down the stretch. Horford was the best player down the stretch minus the free throws.

Speaking of “cores” . . . My Cincinnati Bengals basically got rid of their 2 core players a year after making the playoffs in 2010.
- Carson Palmer
- Chad Johnson
The result . . . we got two good young players in Andy Dalton and AJ Green to replace them. 2 guys who actually played BETTER than those 2 did in 2011.
We Bengal fans went from uncertan despair, to “hell yeah, we have something to look toward the future to”.
With the right moves, the Hawks could have that same future. I just don’t want Sund pulling the trigger on those moves, or Drew coaching that future team.

By the way, when Shawn Kemp receives the ball for that Alton Lister dunk, there is a wide open lane in front of him with nobody checking him. Bass was right up in Josh’s grill. There is no comparison.

Hawks need to adjust ….we have 5 supporting role players and not 5 “NBA” starters. Josh’s mental mistake with the tech came at a bad time the momentum had shifted in our favor-
Joe Johnson-$120 mil might need another look
Marvin is a good guy but has lost what little NBA swagger he had and will likley be trade.
They need to give the ball to teague and let him lead the break-
Al Horford is always a class act-it’s unfortunate his missed FT came during the end of the game
i agree with a lot of posters here- it’s time to break up the team in some fashion-we’ve been down this road the last 5-6 years

Football is an unfair comparison. Andy Dalton was a 2nd round pick. The Hawks are not going to get better with 2nd round picks after jettisoning key players. That’s not how basketball works.

“Well, I can’t argue with that. But if Joe’s around, Josh wants out, I’m thinking. I can’t prove it, but I just know it. And I say that Josh can’t keep up what he did in the second half of the season with these same team issues.
Agree or disagree? Interested in your view. What do we do if he wants out?”
If they can’t pull off a two for one Dwight trade, I would just roll into next season with Teague, Al, Josh, and the first-round pick as the “core” and let them take the Hawks as far as they can go (with a midseason acquisition thrown in maybe).
If Josh walks, he walks. I just don’t like this idea that if you have a good team and a key player says he wants to test free agency, you just trade him and don’t even make an effort to compete for his services in the offseason. I can’t think of a single organization that pursued that route and got better.
If Josh stays after next year, great — and the Hawks may even have the cap space to pursue another free agent to add to the squad along with Teague/Josh/Al. If he walks, you can still sign-and-trade him and get the trade exception and low draft picks that you likely will get at the trade deadline for him anyway.

Did you [Hawks' fans and AJC bloggers] really expect to win this [first round playoff] series against the Celtics without the Hawks’ “Boston Strangler” [Jamal Crawford]? Did you, really? Hell, I didn’t. What goes around, comes around. The Hawks did Crawford sh-tty, so the Celtics and [the] refs did the Hawks sh-tty [tonight]. I don’t understand why you all can’t see that. With Jamal last year, the Hawks advance to the second round. Without Jamal this year, the Hawks do not advance to the second round and are eliminated in the first round. Jamal led the NBA in FT% this year and Al Horford misses a FT to tie the score in a playoff elimination game. That’s not irony; that’s justice and I’m not talking about the “basketball gods.” That is/was the “universal law” playing itself out. The Hawks franchise was “weighed in the balance” [on the scales of justice] and came up “wanting” [or at fault or in the wrong]. It’s as simple as that.

Watch the play again Najeh
Although he did have Bass “in his grill”, he caught that ball with 7 seconds left. Gotta put that ball on the floor, or tell JJ to come get it so he can heave up a shot.
Josh was simply taking what the defense gave him . . his favorite 20 foot shot.
Gotta try to take Bass to the hole though and get to the line. If he drives right, he can maybe get to the hole. If he drives left into the paint, Ray Allen moves to cut him off, and he has a wide open Marvin.
Don’t act like he didn’t have options on that play. He had 7 seconds . . plenty of time.
But once again, I’m not going to kill Josh for that play. Just don’t defend him against having no other options but to shoot the ball either.

You think anything different you’re only fooling yourself. Get what you can in a trade and cut your losses. Keep Al & Teague and get some players with some brains. These two morons will never learn. They’re both lazy and unmotivated. Too lazy to drive to the hoop and draw a foul with the season on the line.

I think Josh is gone. He’s the best player we have on this team (which either isn’t saying much or is saying all you need to know), but he’s a goner. Joe’s contract is too big. The Hawks cannot move him.
Anyone who whines about the C’s getting calls needs to realize something. The Hawks have never done a damn thing worth anything to get calls from refs. If they had, they’d get calls and we’d just sheepishly grin and smugly laugh about it.
Our ownership is pathetic. Gearon’s moronic *** goes out there and whines about KG. KG’s wannabe bully *** goes out and drops an old-school KG game on us. I’m sure it
