Nothing to lose

They come inside, Use Ivan and Zaza and Big Collins to foul them hard. They’ll get the message next time we play them

We seem to handle the underdog role well

Ivan Johnson does not buy ground beef, he just takes a whole cow, runs it through his beard, and fully cooked hamburgers come out.

Hawks love

Anyone notice that we are first in division, 2nd in conference and third in the league????

Why isn’t that all over espn or even NBA.com? We don’t get no love…

Really starting to enjoy being a Hawks fan. I’m Still cautious though. Win or lose, tonight should be a fun game to watch!

Seriously…the Sixer fans are already drunk and insane over here at Chickies & Pete’s. I’ll cheer but no way in hell am I navigating the Wells Fargo parking lot if the Hawks win.

I love him as the savvy 3rd string vet who steps up in the Playoffs. But its sad that we should have to battle with this guy as a starter.

Stockton has been #1 all-time since 95, so it had to be an earlier guy

It was Maurice Cheeks

Gus Williams retired as a Hawk at #2 because it looks like Maurice Cheeks passed him right at the end. When Mo retired in 93 he was #1 and then was overtaken by John Stockton a few years later.

Forgot the tie-in to the opponent which should of told me it wasn’t Gus.

by ATLpaul on Jan 20, 2012 9:14 PM EST up reply actions  

He played all of his minutes with the starters

Sometimes +/- is deceptive. At least, in the small scale (over the length of the season, I think it’s really telling). He was playing in the first half with guys who were really trying and were passing the ball. But he was on the floor when the momentum shifted, and offensive possessions with him on the floor are terrible. I’m sure that if we had had anyone else on the floor instead of him during his entire 20 minutes, it would have been better than -3.

by ATLpaul on Jan 20, 2012 9:21 PM EST up reply actions  

Often, it's when you play, not how you play

Trust me, Jason Collins was terrible. He’s at least partially responsible for the slow start after half-time. He’s useless offensively. When he played with the starters at the end of the first half, his +/- got jacked up quite a bit, but it wasn’t really because of anything he did. He wasn’t doing anything against Brand-Brand had 8 rebounds during the 16ish minutes that both he and Collins were on the floor (4 offensive and defensive). So he was actually somewhat less effective than during the other 21 minutes.

And it should be really embarrasing that ELTON BRAND is killing us on the boards.

Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Again his +/- with starters who played worse is much better than Zaza who played with bench that were playing better

That is not to say Collins played well.

But if you think either Zaza or Collins will give you value, then you are missing the big picture. This team clearly needs a starting level center. Neither of those two are starting level centers in NBA.

Collins is a situational center. Zaza is a backup. Neither will score a ton.
Each have virture.
Collins is smart. Understands defensive positioning, will take charges. Better defense against big men.

Zaza has more energy. Much more active on the offensive boards. In general more active. Horrible Horrible hands.

He wasn’t the greatest because he was a great jumpshooter. Sure, he was good from mid-range, but he made his legend by driving to basket and just plain dunking on people. Later he turned into a pretty good shooter, but it was getting inside and getting to the line that made him legendary. Josh Smith needs to emulate THAT guy, more than Dirk Nowitzki.

Michael Jordan was a guard

Smith has clearout Pick and rolls and Transition.and thats it.

Jordan was a guard who used skills, quickness and/or strength advantage.

Smith is a tweener and can never be Dirk, or Jordan.

Even if Smith’s jumper is flowing like those guys… I’ve only see him pump fake a guy out and drive once this season. Only Tyrus Thomas was dumb enough to be scared of his jumper.

Smith is undersized, and like Shawn Marion, he can only win with certain players in this league. Josh Smith is Josh Smith.

Because of his lack of off the dribble skills he will always live and die by that jumper. He’s done developing. And I’m beginning to doubt Radmanovic was ever considered a stretch “Power” Forward.

I was watching him with the 2nd unit and He posts up less than Marvin!

Wow. Really? In reality I said:

Jordan was a guard who used skills, quickness and/or strength advantage.
-

Now the guard is a wing. The wing is the outlet recipient of rebounders. I advocated Smith as a wing getting transition buckets.

Jason Collins is a smart player but he’s too slow and uncoordinated.

Maybe you haven’t noticed but Smith is a smart player. His skillset is limited though. He doesn’t have the tools that Jordan had.

Josh Smith can be as smart as he wants. He’s not good at shooting off the dribble.

How many times must people say Hawks should try the Pistons model with Smith as a Rodman type SF. You need a shooting big and motion to balance his weaknesses.

Offensively there have been athletic guys who were just bad shooting off the dribble. Dennis Rodman comes to mind. And I mean the Pistons model not the MJ Bulls or David Robinson Spurs.

Pick and rolls and shooters and rebounders to let him run. But his skills development is pretty much peaked at that. A Gerald Wallace/Marion/Rodman type SF

So, ya know, that should tell you which guy was the problem tonight. The guy who teams were leaving open to double team JJ, who still couldn’t do anything? Yeah, that’s a problem.

Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

He just couldn't find the mark in the 2nd half.

He hit those shots in the first half. Don’t go all willy nilly on Josh because he had a bad game. The other defender came off of Marvin. There was 3 defenders on Joe all night.

His last shot in the paint was around the 7 minute mark of the first quarter

He was in the lane in the 2nd quarter.

Now the 2nd half is another story. But either way he hit shots in the 1st half and the Hawks were up 8 at half.

Willy Nilly?

He took every good thing he did the past few games and shit on it.

Even though he never went away from the bad habits, they just weren’t AS bad because he did good things as well.

Tonight? All crap.

He clearly took a lot of shots from outside in third

I don’t know the exact numbers because the site i go to normally takes a while to post that info, but i am willing to bet he took 5 or so long distance shots and made 1 at most. His overall ratio is only 5 of 15 tonight

So are you trying to tell me that he didn't have a good first half.

He was doing everything Smoove does in the first half. He had one bad half and now he is no-good-Josh again. I don’t think so.

Zaza is really inconsistent on the boards. He has 2 double-doubles already this year. And he had 11 boards in the last game. If he can be consistent on the boards, he can play 25 minutes a game a be productive.

Horford definitely would have helped.

But we lost this game because of turnovers, missed shots, and not getting back on D. Did you see the 3rd quarter. Iggy had atleast 4 breakaway dunks. I don’t think Horford would have been able to track Iggy down to block those dunks.

by jdewayneatl on Jan 20, 2012 9:37 PM EST up reply actions  

Horford > Jason Collins

I’m sorry but we lost because we have yet to make a move to replace Al.

We cant do it internally.

And Marvin + Josh Smith might be the worst forward pairing for the playoffs the last few years.

They’re terribly flawed underachievers together.

Really...

This game was not about the center position or Al at all. At all. I know you watched the third quarter. The turnovers, the missed shots, the long rebounds and the outlet passes for dunks. Horford would not have made any more difference in this games as he did in the Chicago game or the Miami game that we lost.

You will have a chance to pick another game, when its clear that the Hawks lost because of play down low. But this isn’t the one.

by jdewayneatl on Jan 20, 2012 9:49 PM EST up reply actions  

No Jason Collins does not do anything. Al Horford was the 4th option that made Marvin irrelevant.

Now you have to replace that.

Is Marvin going to replace that? He might as well have no shooting pocket. Someone’s always in it.

Is Collins? Zaza came the closest and he’s terrible?

Size and skill killed us today. No point in going “big” if you have no skill. No point in going “small” if you have no rebounding.

I don’t know how it’s a “big” lineup if Marvin is starting in place of Horford.

LD is an idiot.

Like I said, there will be other opportunities for you to say that we lost a game because we did not have Al.

But again, this is not the one. The Hawks scored 29 points in the 2nd half. Al would not have changed that very much.

I think the reason rebounds were down was lack of effort and to many jumpers.

- You can’t get rebounds when you’re hanging around the perimeter being lazy
- This is a BAD Josh game. From the comments i’ve heard it sounds like he feel in love with the jumper
- Didn’t see any of the game, but i’m not concerned. Just need to make more of an effort to drive the ball. There is a reason the Sixers rank was one of the worst times in points aloud in the paint

by BravesFanScout on Jan 20, 2012 9:55 PM EST reply actions  

because other teams actually have centers?

Other centers don’t drive the ball. Power Forwards aren’t supposed to drive. They’re supposed to shoot.

Their guards drive and get them involved.

Josh has always been in love with his jumper. And Elton Brand kept him out the paint just like Aldridge.

Hawks outrebounded 32-51 and Jeff Teague yelled at #2 Pick Marvin Williams to step it up. He then folded like a lawn chair and threw it away to Iguodala for a breakaway dunk (or did Marvin foul? I forget).

How Marvin and Josh have lasted together this long is beyond me.

Let's not throw the team or specific players under the buss over one loss.

They played really well in the first half, but they also shot 50% from the field. The hawks were outrebounded, not because of lack of size because the average height of our starters is bigger than theirs as well as the bench players that played, because they didn’t play hard. They didn’t crash the boards and they took to many jump shots. When your jumpers aren’t falling you run the risk of getting drilled on the boards. Josh is a great players, he just bailed out tonight. I think he will look at the numbers and get back to the Josh we’ve seen most of the season tomorrow night. Marvin has played great this year as well. One game doesn’t mean we should just get rid of him. Joe Johnson didn’t play very well either. I believe this loss was a team effort that started with the starters and trickled down to the bench.

When the Hawks lose because we needed Al, I will be the first one to admit it.

And I will help pull the alarm. But as now, its a false alarm because this game wasn’t a game Al would have won for us.

Blah blah blah.... We lost because we are undersized and underskilled. 5 years same script.

Al Horford, Andrew Bogut, Tyson Chandler. All can stick Elton Brand and take him out of the game.

Tonight like so many other nights Josh Smith was revealed as the center. Other than him there’s no one preventing paint looks. At least a center can push Brand and Vucevic out.

Horford is not the best fit for the team but there is no ignoring how Jason Collins lack of inside ability and rebounding hurts us. Or Ivan Johnson at center getting blocked. Or relying on Zaza to score.

Under the Buss

- You can’t get rebounds when you’re hanging around the perimeter being lazy
- This is a BAD Josh game. From the comments i’ve heard it sounds like he feel in love with the jumper

From West Coast it’s looking quite silly to always criticize Smith over the same stuff. You win, you act like he’s changed his skillset. Lose he’s Schizophrenic.

- Why does Marvin never get blamed? Smith is a tweener. But this guy Marvin is one too and he gets a pass for being an untradeable bust.

edit:

No Kurt Thomas, No Craig Smith, ala Portland

Elton Brand proves what “power forward” means drawing contact and shooting dribble jumpers. 16 rebounds.

76ers have both size and skill. Without a skilled center ATL can’t matchup.

And Al is not tradeable till March and with Sund I doubt it’ll happen. Hinrich + Marvin are mediocre chips and not getting much back. We’ll see if Josh or Jeff choke Marvin to death before that period.

It's not throwing someone under the bus to say they'll never change. The competition might change but not the player.

Smith will not back down Elton or Chuck Hayes. He’ll go off the dribble and brick or air ball.

Marvin the same. He started. Who was on him? Jodie Meeks.

small guard: Jeff Teague
big guard: Joe Johnson
small forward: Josh Smith (for “power” yet lacks power)
small forward: Marvin Williams (for “shooting” yet lacks shooting)
big center: Jason Collins

Marvin and Josh are linked. Smith will never be the player you want until Marvin is replaced for a big shooting FOrward.

Or a star SF. But how likely is that.

Bad losses happen, it should have happened in Minnesota

I felt the first half was a bit of a mirage, at least offensively anyway, none of the starters had anything offensivley and Teague’s lack of experience cost the Hawks the game in the second half. Josh Smith had become way too reliant on the Jumpshot recently and it came to bite them

Highlight of the night was Jason Collins getting outjumped by 6-8 Elton Brand for a rebound, who no longer has any lift due to multiple knee surgeries
