Jeff Teague Vs. Ricky Rubio and J Smoove Vs. Love/ Williams
One of the most intriguing games in my
opinion
by Beachy Keen on Jan 14, 2012 4:23 PM EST via mobile reply actions
J Smoove Vs. Love/ Williams
1 Player versus 2. Numbers say this aint gonna end well.
* Hawks trade {Al Horford + protected 2nd rounder} for {Perimeter F Jon Leuer and C Andrew Bogut}
* Jeff Teague * Joe Johnson* Jon Leuer * Josh Smith * Andrew Bogut *

Hawks should win
TWolves struggle badly on transition defense
I wonder if this person has seen the Wolves this year?
The Wolves have the 11 ranked defense in the NBA.
Our problem is on offense. We live and die by our outside shooting. Rubio get’s them the ball but it’s up to people like Ridnour, Ellington, Wes Johnson to put the game away.

which they do, and lol at using we you play for them son?

Come On Hawks!!!!
Smoove another 30 pts, and stat sheet stuffing, Teague and JJ 15-25 pts each, Zaza and Ivan double-doubles working the glass and V-Rad smoking from long range.
WE WILL GET IT DONE!!!!!!
I hope MArvin or T-Mac are back
Just give me one of those guys.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Sigh
Your team is 4-7, on the 2nd end of a back to back and have lost 11, yes 11 straight to the Hawks. Why are you so confident? Rubio is not Tim Tebow

dont bother with this clown
sucker cant read
Watch Hawks dominate
Watch Teague burn Rubio, JJ shot over Ridnour, and Smoove smother Kevin Love
I reckon whichever small forward fires tonight will be the difference maker in this one
And hopefully Smoove takes up the challenge of taking it to the best power forward in the game.
Ivan Johnson - the new Xavier McDaniel
Should be a fun game.
Good luck, Hawks fans!

I didn't know trolls live in Minnesota
It has always been such a nice place when I visit. Great transit system, beautiful buildings, great parks, and great weather for about 3 months out of the year. They have a lot of great comic shops. I love comics. My favorite comic hero is Batman. His problems are so intense, Christopher Nolan does a great job depicting his struggle, but he also kind of scares me. Speaking of scary. There is this one park that has weird statues in it; it was pretty creepy. Didn’t like the mall a little too large for me. Not really sure why they call it the Mall of America since it is probably the least likely place an American would visit. Boy do I love Garrison Keillor, that prairie home companion is the best. Speaking of the best one of the best wide receivers ever, played his best years minus one or two in Minnesota. Man did he retire early. Speaking of marginally wasting talent, didn’t Kevin Garnett waste some great yeats in Minnesota? Like 8 years. Man how I would love to discuss all of this with someone from Minnesota in a respectable way that doesn’t pollute this game thread, man that would be awesome.

Jeeze
Ivan blocks Kevin and Josh gets the credit.
Now that we are about to win can I ask isn’t Kevin Love what we thought Al Horford was going to be at this point?
- um no? I thought Amare lite. Develop some shots on the moves and dunks to complement his jumper. too Rigid and not long enough.
isn’t Ivan what we thought Josh Smith would be at this point?
- Smith is mesomorphic. His body is not built as rugged or compact as Ivan’s. In other words Smith’s body is too soft to be a “power” forward. He’s kind of lanky.
Smith is more like Gerald Wallace combined with Carmelo Anthony’s musculature at the PF.
He does a good job in most situations but he is not ever going to be the true short ripped SF playing the PF ie Buck Williams.
Smith is the more unconventional type of tweener. Want to minimize his touches and get him in PnR. and get him in a situation where he’s not trailing the play.
I,m going to have to catch the game somehow. Great win Hawks. We have the Raptors next who have size and also held Love to season lows. Bargnani’s been playing like a star but missed the Bulls game with a calf injury. I don’t know if they can win without him.

I'm just going to pretend that last play was drawn up
with the intentional plan of Josh Smith missing terribly short on a three pointer so that Ivan could get the rebound.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Love the comeback!
Hate that it was necessary, but it gave me time for more Ivan Johnson.

Huge win tonight given that they had to dig deep to come back
Proud of the effort. Would have been easy to have mailed this one in

I'm going to take my Joe jersey and get 44 embroidered on it.
If the Hawks win it all.........I will shave MY eyebrows.

1-4 from the field, 8-8 from the line. It’s pretty, in its own weirdness.

To bad we banned that loser Livestrong!
I would love to talk shit to him right now! I told him it wasn’t over. There is a reason the Timberwolves always BLOW! Sorry, I usually don’t gloat but that guy sucked!
by BravesFanScout on Jan 14, 2012 9:32 PM EST via mobile reply actions
He was banned from Canis Hoopus,
so he’s been spreading his nonsense on all of the opponents’ boards. He hasn’t been well received anywhere.

All of a sudden
all of the Wolves fans are coveting Ivan Johnson. Dude was for real tonight. And Jeff Teague got whatever he wanted in the paint.
And what got into Willie Green? Holy crap.

I don't know about others, but I'm loving Ivan's game too
He brings a sorely needed toughness that the Hawks have been lacking for a while.

Its almost as if i follow some of their writers on twitter...
and had known they are one of the worse teams in transition in the NBA…
I know im not the only person who thinks blowing up the Hawks
Is just not the smart play, both logically and financially
its just a national blogger who is trying to tell me
that the Hawks are better off blowing the team up and waiting 5 years for a generational talent who may or may not fall into the Hawks draft slot, and then waiting 5 more years for that team to become an actual contender where they may or may not win the damn thing.
Yeah... just ignore that guy.
Getting to this point for the Hawks was pure patience and perseverance. I wouldn’t put my trust in the future of the franchise to luck. Especially with the luck of the Hawks in the draft.

Yeah, "luck"
In this case, do you spell luck I-N-E-P-T-I-T-U-D-E?
Ivan Johnson - the new Xavier McDaniel
I guess this win means the Hawks don't have to give up on the season (according to LiveStrong)
Maybe this will show the LD needs to give Ivan Johnson more play. I’m not gonna lie, although i didn’t see any of the game, the T-Wolves are on the upswing. They’ve got a lot of talent and I could see them making moves like the Grizzlies did last year.

LD's Credit
When is LD going to start getting credit for this teams success.
Holy Crap
so I just saw the end of game on the highlights. I literally started laughing when Joe gave the ball up to josh for the final shot. Im glad I knew we won the game when I saw that or else I might have thrown my Tv out the window when that happened.
