Jeff Teague Leaves Practice With Ankle Injury

Print#Hawks G Jeff Teague left practice with L ankle inj. Day-to-day. Larry Drew: "Not sure of the severity of it right now."
— Michael Cunningham (@ajchawks) December 21, 2011
I don't have to explain how catastrophic any kind of injury to Jeff Teague would be for the Hawks who are already extremely thin at the point guard position. Atlanta just signed free agent Jannero Pargo to a contract to back up Teague while Kirk Hinrich is out with a shoulder injury. Brad Wanamaker and Donald Sloan took turns backing up Teague in the Hawks first preseason game but neither was overly impressive.
Atlanta also has Pape Sy, Joe Johnson and Tracy McGrady that could fill in at the point guard position if the situation dictates but it shouldn't be viewed as a long term solution. We will update Teague's situation as soon as more information is available.

Teague needs to put it into a slower gear
This is two years in a row, in prep for the season he gets injured. There is no question, his heart is in the right place, but he needs to go a bit slower. Let’s hope this is not serious. Tough spot to be
Well if they traded for Chris Paul they wouldn't have this problem.
Or would they?

Actually if this combo of ownership-management-coaching did not pull the trade for Kirk last year
We would not have this problem either. Bibby is still here. JC2 is here. And another first rounder is here. We lose all our depth and now have to go with players that are not even draft materail or leftovers of others (Pargo), because of idiot coach not giving Teague a chance. It is really really time for Arthur Blank to step up and take this team over
How about just saying had Kirk not suffered an injury we wouldn't be in this shape
How dare anyone go out and get hurt – sarcasm
@Kris_Willis
I mean I can be critical of management as well
but you might as well blame gas prices and the economy on them as well
@Kris_Willis
and one more thing
If Bibby were still here he would still be making about $6 million and probably would still be the starting point guard.
I don’t mind you stating your opinion but form one and quit flip flopping back and forth.
@Kris_Willis
What flip-flop are you referring to?
My wish for Bibby still being here and trade not occuring?
Problem is with coaching who would not let Teague play. If Bibby was here in a emergency as backup, that would not be an issue.
Bibby contract vs. Kirk contract? and you still had Mo Evans.
See i said combo problem: coaching-Mgmt-ownership
No the flip flop has been going on for two years
First it was Zaza was trash and then Zaza had to play. Then it was we had to move Bibby except now we need him back. I’m sorry but at this stage I will take Kirk minus a month over a healthy Bibby.
So we’d be fine with having Bibby as a $6 million dollar emergency option?
@Kris_Willis
To be clear since you bring up Zaza
Zaza was trash up to trade dead-line last year. Remember that?
When he finally was threatened with being traded, Zaza went to his own self. Some west coast trip if I remember correctly. Instead of going for soft layups and getting blocked every time, he went back to his role of banger. You could argue back that it had to do with LD’s use of Zaza, but I am trying to give you benefit of the doubt. There is no doubt up to trade deadline, he was trash, after, he was our best rebounding big man.
Yes to Bibby as backup question.
My recollection is
Zaza was playing much better before the trade deadline last season which was why we were all surprised that they were shopping him. He was never as bad as you let on.
@Kris_Willis
He was playing bad, don't mince words :)
Which is why they were trying to trade him.
But it is a chicken and egg syndrome. LD would say because of what zaza was not delivering. Or it could be because of playing time that Zaza could not get in the flow. Personal opinion, LD was not sure how to use Zaza.
Some links that I got to refresh your memory:
http://blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2011/02/26/atlanta-hawks-no-zest-for-zaza/
http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2011/02/zaza-pachulia-unhappy-with-playing-time/
http://www.hoopinionblog.com/2011/02/breaking-down-zaza-pachulia-sometimes.html
FWIW I agree with ATLpaul. Zaza was mostly garbage until the Portland game when he suddenly decided to beast on the boards like he was supposed to be doing all season. I think the rumor that he was going to be traded for Brad Miller but Miller failed his physical motivated him. Good for him for taking that in a positive way and being motivated by it, since a lot of players would have let that affect them negatively.

Let me answer you by asking a question..................
Which would you go for?
Mo Evans or Jerry Stackhouse?
Let me ask another question,
Which would you go for?
Pepe Sy or Mo Evans?
Trick question for bonus points, which would go for?
T-Mac vs. Mo Evans?
1) Answer is neither, and since Stackhouse won’t make the team, it’s a false dilemma. And Mo Evans cost a ton more, and is about as valuable.
2) Pape Sy
3) T-Mac
So…yeah.
My buddy and I just decided that the braves would be set if we could get Matt Kemp, Jose Reyes, and Albert Pujols.
by willlinn on May 17, 2011 2:13 PM EDT
We shall see
Too little evidence to go by so far.
All I know, is what I saw last game. Pepe Sy seems to jump good, that’s it. Not much in terms of basketball skills.
Stackhouse, at the end of his career.
T-Mac, last game was not good evidence, but we shall see. He was better in Detroit
Where is Mo Evans even playing
Did he get resigned by Washington?

I was a Mo Evans fan.
Played hard, showed tons of heart.
But even I think this is a strange argument. He didn’t bring a whole lot to the table that can’t be replaced.

I am not a fan of Mo
All I was trying to convey, is that the horrible trade, not only had us lose 2 first rounders, but even Bibby who is servicable as a backup, and Mo Evans who it seems like we are trying to replace with players that have seen their best days long ago, or one that only seems able to jump with no basketball skils (Pepe Sy). At least MO is able to every so often hit a jumper and run the floor.
Strage argument, agreed…..
Arthur Blank won't be buying this team.
Might as well get that thought out of your head. He is great with the Falcons because he LOVES the Falcons and football in general. He won’t buy the Hawks just to half-ass it. The two sports running simultaneously would divide his attention too much away from the Falcons.
Quite frankly, I am OK with him only owning the Falcons.
I'm on the Twitter: twitter.com/edgrohl
Did you read that somewhere that he is not going to buy Hawks?
If so, do you have the link?
Or are you assuming because he has not done so yet?
If the latter, no good businessman will show his hand before he or she is ready. He is very civic minded, so who knows?
So you're basing your assumption that Arthur Blank will buy this team
On the fact that he hasn’t shown any interest in buying the team?

Biggest Fear
is that anything that shifts the blame off of the mis-management of our assets and cap becomes a rally cry for either a) fans of said management or b) people who look for easy answers. So, I file this in the category of – if we had decent management, a collective panic wouldn’t ensue if someone gets an ankle injury. If Chris Paul goes down for 2 weeks, Chauncey, Mo Williams, or Eric Bledsoe are nice replacements to keep from rushing players back. Us – yep, Jannero (just signed) Pargo or Brad Wanamaker or Donald Sloan become our starting options. I hope I’m not the only person who sees this as a problem – and if I need to make them clear – a) that the worst run organization of the last 30 years has managed to acquire assets that give them a championship trajectory before ours and b) see a).
Ok, rant over – PLEASE GET WELL JEFF TEAGUE!!!!
Hawk Str8Talk
Comon
Which team accounts for losing its 2 point guards.
I think I just named one
And it’s not about accounting for losing your top 2 point guards – it’s about your team going to he## if they are gone for a few weeks. Season ending injuries would be terrible, but then what would you be able to do about it. The point here is that when a response is needed – the Hawks are in no position to do anything. Over the last 3 years, there’s been lots of cheap talent available for us to go after, but we’re not in a position to do anything. We aren’t in a position to claim Chauncey, Baron, etc. Those are guys that you might be able to get value for, but since you can’t afford 2M (the price for Chauncey) – you don’t have a backup PG. That’s the point…we are hoping on the thinnest of margins and I fear exactly your reply – that you’d say – well, that’s just unlucky and give a pass for 2011-12 if that was the ‘cause’ of a terrible start. I, on the other hand, believe that you have to have depth for just this reason. It’s why you don’t put 4-5 stiffs on the team just to fill out the bench because you’re mandated to do so. 1-2 stiffs, ok, but we should have assets so that we could actually trade one if necessary to get a PG of some repute. That’s all…

I don't think Chauncey And Baron are going to get us to the Glory Land or atleast passed the ECF
You’re assuming a lot of things. You’re assuming that these guys, as free agents, want to play back-up or let alone want to play in Atlanta. Clippers took a risk with Billups after he went postal about any one claiming him off waivers. From the looks of the preseason game, Chauncey Billups is going to start at SG for the Clippers. Or Baron Davis for that matter. I wouldn’t want to give LD the slightest option of starting anyone but whose name doesn’t include Teague, Chris, or Paul.

true
neither chauncey or baron get us to the promise land, but t-mac and pargo do? atleast chauncey and baron have some kind of value to us and/or other teams for potential trades. its almost like this year’s free agency was meant for teams like the hawks, looking for mid-level talent that can produce. instead of just unloading the enormous amount of stiffs we already have, we pick up a couple more. joe is eating up our cap but you can still make smart moves around him. Rick Sund doesnt even understand the concept of a smart move. its friggin sad and frustrating as hell
You're being a bit unfair
I mean, what happens if Rajon Rondo gets hurt? What if Rajon Rondo AND Keyon Dooling get hurt? It’s like, Avery Bradley at that point and nobody else.
What happens if Tony Parker gets hurt (playing for what is DEFINITELY a more respected management than we are). What if Tony Parker AND T. J. Ford get hurt? It’s, what, Corey Joseph and Gary Neal?
What if Russel Westbook and Eric Maynor get hurt?
What if Steve Nash and…whoever is his back-up there?
It’s tough to go three deep at point guard with reasonable expectations.
So, I file this in the category of – if we had decent management, a collective panic wouldn’t ensue if someone gets an ankle injury.
If the wrong player rolls an ankle, almost any fanbase will panic. What if Kobe Bryant rolls an ankle, or Kevin Durant, or Derrick Rose? Those fanbases would definitely panic.

I will respectfully disagree
and leave it at that because you guys are missing my point. My point is – other teams have the flexibility to make a change. So, the panic is different. The panic is – we can’t do ANYTHING if someone gets hurt. We can’t make a trade (cuz we have no assets) or sign someone (because they aren’t going over the luxury tax line under any circumstance). So, something like an ankle injury here sends us in a tizzy because we know it could KILL the season. Whereas an injury on the team’s you’re talking about only does what – jeopardize playoff position (save the Suns- they aren’t making the playoffs with Nash). So, you guys are arguing about something I’m not…If the Thunder lose Russell Westbrook, they are plenty talented enough to sit him long enough to let him get 100%. If Maynor goes down, they can actually flip a player to address the PG need or simply sign someone and live with it because they are talented enough to absorb his loss for a few weeks. Do you think we’re signing anyone that’s worth playing if Teague and Pargo go down? Absolutely not… that’s my point.

couldnt agree more
hawks fans need to get loud about this. it’s time for ASG to get out of sports altogether. everyone rags on the hawks for being a 2nd round team and nothing more, but i think that alone is a testament to the hard work put in even in the face of internal adversity. we need an owner who is in it for the long haul and we need management that isnt a yes man to that owner. we could also use a coach but thats a completely different conversation.
NEWS FLASH
Hollinger has the Hawks ranked 9th in the NBA. What i find very funny is that for 5 straight years( yes i keep track) he has consistently ranked the Hawks much lower than they finished at the end of the season. I mean baring serious injury problems( which you can say for any team) , how does the hawks not make the playoffs??
Unbelieveable
So losing Jamal takes us out of the playoffs??
Wait?
9th in the East or 9th in the NBA?
I’m assuming—without looking—he ranked us 9th in the East, for if we’re the 9th best team overall, it’s impossible for us to miss the playoffs unless the East is unbelievably tough this season!
Also, the Hawks, if healthy, are a threat to any team in the East. Our problem is depth, but even with our depth issues, we’re still a very good team.
Heck, while Crawford is better than any of our bench guys right now, our entire bench, as a whole, feels better…at least to me.
GATA!
I tend to agree with you there
solely because without JC1 Drew is forced to utilised a more balanced attack off the bench rather than give Jamal starters minutes off the bench and play out of position for the majority of those minutes.

Blah
I went through this-I can’t see the Hawks finishing worse than sixth. Yes, they only won 44 games last year, but once they got locked in at the 5th seed they stopped trying. They were more like a 48 win team last year, and that was with a serious down year from JJ and a bunch of useless guys getting minutes (Mo Evans, Josh Powell). Add in some lingering injuries that piled up last year-Josh’s knees, Marvin’s back-and there’s plenty of reason to think this team will be better. Then you consider that we’re replacing Bibby with Teague.
If you’re predicting the Hawks to decline, Hollinger, you’re about 2 years too early.

clarification
9th in the East. He says because we lost Jamal and did not replace him ( Which is Henrichs role). There is a reason no one wanted to give Jamal more than 5m per yr.
I know I'm rehashing conversations from Peachtree Hoops' past...
But am I alone in thinking Crawford, while a solid player, isn’t the stud people are making him out to be?
I feel a bench of Hinrich, McGrady, Radmanovic, Sy, Zaza, etc. is much better than what we had last season, especially on the defensive end of the court.
GATA!
I find it amusing that people are pretending
that Jamal Crawford was actually good last season…
He wasn't terrible
But in terms of value, he was about the 8th best player the Hawks had last year.
Honestly, I hope that somehow, Crawford being gone will turn into more minutes for Zaza Pachulia.
My buddy and I just decided that the braves would be set if we could get Matt Kemp, Jose Reyes, and Albert Pujols.
by willlinn on May 17, 2011 2:13 PM EDT
He was terrible to me in the sense that he was shots away
from Al Horford who had and stole minutes from Jeff Teague in the same vane that mike bibby did. Its not that JC is a terrible basketball player, but for the Hawks he no longer had a role anymore
You better replace those points if you are letting him walk
At the end of the day, you got to score. How you figure Hawks will score now?
The point about Jamal, is that he gets attention. He forces you to defend him. So you can’t focus on JJ. Even if he is not making shots. With Jamal and Kirk and JJ you have three potent scorers.
With Captain Kirk injured you are down to one.
Now what happens? All the attention goes to JJ. Hence the concern.
And beleive me, I thought we had to let Jamal go, but I thought we get couple spare part to help us. The spare parts we got, are pretty much useless
As JJ said it, when Teague turns the corner so with the Hawks.
Teague showed during the season and especially against Rose that he can play off of Joe and put up points. I actually think that Teague is more dangerous because he can get to the basket. The Hawks will have more easy opportunities (layups, free throws, kickouts, runners, etc) than with Jamal bombing away. Marvin may become an extra solution. He seems to be having a really good camp. And if Tracy McGrady knows anything, its how to score and facilitate. So between a solid season from Teague, Hinrich backing him up, an improved Marvin, and a veteran McGrady, the Hawks will only miss Jamal’s exciting crossovers and 4-pt plays.
If teague averages 15 ppg
That’s a 10ppg increase above his last years average. Therefore someone like T-Mac has to score about 9 ppg to make up for the loss of Jamal’s average last season.
Will making it back to the Eastern Conference Semis give Larry Drew another year at the helm?
not sure about the rest
but NO, you are not alone. I’ve always said – Jamal is a final piece. Very valuable as a specialty end of game, need a shot or offense not humming – go in there and spark something player, but for $9M – you can’t spend that on a backup shooting guard and not get defense, rebounds, assists, leadership. $9M got the Lakers Lamar Odom – a much better return than Crawford. Folks act like if you didn’t tell JR Smith or Nick Young or a bunch of other guys that they can go in and do nothing but shoot the rock – that they can’t get 15ppg. Jamal’s skill set in terms of production is not that unique.

+100%
When you add the fact that Marvin had a bad back last season and Joe was not 100%, I just dont see the Hawks taking a step backward.
also add that JC scoring more than likely
Is going to be replaced by Jeff Teague. A more efficient basketball player
Different Roles though
Jeff Teague is a starter.
Jamal was the bench scoring.
You best come up with some bench scoring, or you fall behind when Teague goes to get a rest. That is the concern. With Kirk injured, what do you do?????
Jamal Crawford played starters minutes
lets not pretend he was a “Bench Player” when his Usage was higher than Al Horford last season, which was probably the most pathetic thing about last season
Let's just hope LD learned a few things
And perhaps this team can use their shots more effectively, and distribute the ball more equitably. Even a slight improvement would help.

by willlinn on May 17, 2011 2:13 PM EDT
Indeed he had the fourth highest number of minutes used
Still, that does not change the fact, he came in usually a few minutes into the first quarter, and a few minutes into the third quarter.
You still need that scoring punch, which you now lack, and you are not answering the question. Where does the bench scoring come from when Teague has to sit down?
Marvin the 6th Man..
LD has to make Marvin the 6th man. He is the best option to play with the 2nd unit and he has the most offensive skill. Playing against the 2nd unit may boost his confidence and make him a better player.
I like our "big" line-up a lot...
But I don’t know how much I like Josh at the 3. That said, I prefer Al at the 4.
Williams seems like a good fit as our first man off the bench.
GATA!
Was it just me, or in that Christmas video was Twin looking a bit slimmer
Could be good for the team if he increases his mobility.

I really don't get the preseason predictions of the Hawks' demise
I mean, everyone is acting like losing Jamal Crawford is going to doom this team. NBA.com ranked the Hawks 18th in the league.
“The Hawks regressed big last year,” (to the tune of 44 wins).
Teams ahead of the Hawks:
The Knicks, who won 42 games
The Clippers, who won 32 (justified)
The 37 win Pacers, who only added David West
The 41 win 76ers, who added almost nothing
The 43 win Rockets, who added…what, Johnny Flinn?
The 35 win Bucks (What the hell, man)
I just don’t see it. I’m not often optimistic among Hawks’ fans, but I think all of those are bogus.

To be fair theKnicks have addressed one of their key weaknesses in signing Chandler
but still, his defense alone won’t mitigate Stoudemire’s & Anthony’s shortcomings. And moving Billups and adding Davis might be a slight downgrade.
Actually, if they have improved it’ll only be marginally.

It is pretty simple
Hawks lose Jamal, and don’t gain similar replacement.
Knicks add Shumpert and Tyson Chandler. Now they have three all stars. Not same team as last year.
Pacers are deep with George and West. Remember they added Geroge late in the year. And they have Hill and Collison. And they have Hibbert and Granger. A complete team that needs to integerate.
Sixer are deep. They discovered themselves last year. Don’t just look at record. Look at how they finished last year. That was a tough out by Heat last year in playoffs.
Deer??? It all depends on Bogat. He was a one armed center. Is he fully back?
So if you just look at records, it may seem like the same but as I say they have improved all around us, while we stay the same.
On the plus side, Orlando is horrible!!!!
Benson, Rolle, and Sy should all make this roster without debate
http://blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2011/12/21/atlanta-hawks-camp-report-day-13/
but going off of MC’s piece it looks like Stack (somehow) might make this roster
I'd be shocked if Stackhouse didn't make the roster.
These are the Hawks, we’re talking about. Drew in particular loves veteran-ness.
I think Rolle is out and Benson will go to the D-League.
gonna rage if a 36 year old who cant run gets a roster spot
over anyone of those three since they all have some upside to be rotational players in the NBA
Well, wait until the roster comes out.
I’m most invested in seeing Pape Sy get some run, and with the roster constructed as it is, I’d be surprised if he didn’t. But yeah, I’m largely in agreement – the Hawks’ best chance of improvement is catching lightning in a bottle and having a young guy emerge as a legitimate rotation player. Stackhouse is basically useless by this point. He has no business being on a NBA roster anymore.
