Marvins homecoming

Williams had 16 points and five rebounds at halftime, setting the tone early for a Hawks team that opened their five-game Western Conference road trip with a sleepy first quarter start in a loss to Denver Wednesday.
But Williams wouldn

This is what we need from the team. If someone has an off night or gets into foul trouble, someone else needs to step it up. Hopefully marvin is showing he can be a threat and shows he was worth that pick.

What Marvin has done the last two games has been a great sign. Against Denver he started off terrible shooting and has been shooting poorly of late. But he kept taking the ball to the bucket and trying to get into the game and ended up shooting 6-14 after starting off like 1-6. Seeing Marv play with confidence even when he isn't at his best was one of the most positive things I've seen this season. And Against Seattle he was rewarded with the 33 point outburst.

Woodson should known that playing JJ this much would ultimately result in an unfavorable outcomes... what irritates me is that he will play JJ a ton of minutes on an off night (or an off week for that matter). The man some breathing room...

The Seattle game came at the right time for the entire team and Marvin. Obviously Marvin enjoyed being around family and friends. The team needed to get out of the skid and try to finish out the rest of the month on a positive note.

He does the same for everyone though. He will beat the players into thr ground and eventually, they will get injured. Marvin and Horford do not need to get 39 and 38 minutes a night. 25 max should be solid, give the minutes to the bench guys, chill could use and increase, as could shelden and jones.

I would have a problem with Joe's minutes if he played like Josh Smith or AI. I don't see him being on the floor for the length of the game being an issue.
I'd still like to see Shelden on the court more and with solid minutes he may become something. Woody like to leave him on the court for spurts and I don't think it's a wise way to groom a young guy. (Young gun, Ha) Shelden is a bit too aggressive out there and gets into foul trouble. To play the 5 he has to find time behind Al and ZaZa. It doesn't help fighting for playing time behind Josh Smith as well.
I'd like to see Solomon average 5-8 minutes per/game, but it's a similar situation to Sheldens, because not only is he behind many forwards and centers, he's also gets into foul trouble. Woody needs to allow Solomon to have some floor time during each or every other game. One night he may let him play for 18 minutes and he sits for the next four games.

JJ has always logged big minutes here. I don't think that's the issue.
