Jason Collins is starting
to guard Amir Johnson……
no hes not
especially not against Amir Johnson, whos greatest skill is getting rebounds. Something Jason Collins hasnt done since college
Collins starting, Zaza backup is a better "strategy" than starting Zaza, Can u imagine bringing Collins in for "energy"?
* 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 *

at the same time i understand why Zaza is not starting
I’d just rather it be Ivan Johnson…
In our offense, yes
you have to respect his jumper as a defender
giving our creators in JJ, Smoove, and Teague easier driving lines
Huh?
the Hawks play 4 on 5 basketball on offense every time Jason Collins is on the floor
Feel nervous about this game
Even with Bargnani questionable, I feel the Hawks might sleepwalk into the arena.
Question: Woody, what happened to the ball movement? Answer: I think our defense was pretty solid tonight. We held them to under 200 points so we did our job on that end.
A little off topic
http://www.mynbadraft.com/2012-NBA-Mock-Draft
The mock draft has the Hawks selecting Jeff’s brother . Has 2 brothers ever played for the same team ( and the same position). That would be crazy…
Wilkins
Apparently in the 98-99 season, Dominique and Gerald were both on the Magic. I certainly don’t remember that, but basketball reference says it is so.
Tom and Dick Van Arsdale both played for Phoenix in '77
and Brent and Mark Price were both on the Bullets roster in ’96, but Mark only played in 7 games that season.
Ivan Johnson - the new Xavier McDaniel
Does anyone honestly see us takin ga PG?
I mean, this draft has us taking Teague over guys like Festus Ezeli, Arnett Moultrie, and LeBryan Nash.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.
by Bronn on Sep 18, 2011 4:26 PM EDT
Looking at the second round
They have us drafting three point guards. Are we looking to replace Teague or something? I guess having a back-up would be good, but we need back-ups at a lot of positions.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Was looking at that earlier
They’ve got 5 wins over crappy teams. They’ll come back to the pack.
But right now, it honestly looks like there’s six good teams, four more teams fighting for the last two playoff spots, and then five really bad teams at the bottom.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Can't remember where I read it

Question: Woody, what happened to the ball movement? Answer: I think our defense was pretty solid tonight. We held them to under 200 points so we did our job on that end.
Didn't mean for it to sound like that
Just saying it’s proven the Hawks have an easier go of it when Jeff is getting to the line and slashing to the bucket. Not blaming him though.

he's been plenty aggressive
He just hasn’t been getting any calls

Huh, they never corrected that box score error
Tracy McGrady has one rebound in this game, but for some reason it was awarded to Josh Smith. So Josh doesn’t really have a double double right now.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Joe Johnson has really made his game a lot easier.
He isn’t working as hard to get his shot off. He’s also making plays within the offense. Limited Iso-Joe and zero Iso-Jamal is the way to go.

Because of you being celebrated for all your efforts in trying to achieve equality and bring civil rights to the African-American community, I missed an early Hawks game.
