Go Teague Go

[Jubs]

Teague is awesome. Oh, and we actually do have a bench. Nice to see Woody realizing the same thing.

The ball's moving, guys are getting their shots (well, except for Horford, but he barely played tonight), Joe's staying aggressive without TOO much pounding the ball into the floor (maybe a little)...

.... WOW! What's there not to like?

And for those who claimed we were good offensively before, mistaking our athleticism for efficiency, look carefully because this is what offensive flow looks like.

Gotta stop before I start gushing about how good Teague'll be in 2 years.

You have a solid team, go to the games. Your arena is like the public library, lol.

Great performance. We have played two teams the past two games that didn't offer much resistance and just taken it to them.

I loved Teague tonight. He looks so comfortable and confident on the floor. He is also a MUCH better passer than I remembered him being in college. He has a chance to carve out a serious role for himself on this team.

Smoove has hit 7 of his past 9 free throws. That's a small sample size I know but at least it's something. I want to see him shooting closer to 70% from the stripe.

You cant drop 140+ on the raptors and expect to get away with it, NO WAY. A good team like the raptors will most definitely respond back and blowout the Hawks. I'm expecting some beef to go down today. Raptors win 125 - 80.

LOL the Hawks would score 80 on the Raptors playing 4 on 5.

Boy Teague shows some flashes. Needs more minutes in games that arent blowouts still.

[Hawkeyes]

Wow, we really matchup well with the Raptors. Anyways, this game clearly belongs to the bench. Unbelieveable effort by everyone off the bench, and they outperformed Toronto's starters tonight. It's the reason why this team is being taken serious this year, and is playing at a high level. Our starting lineup has always been viewed as one of the best in the league, but the bench was always thin as could be. With Evans playing well, Crawford nearly a starter, Zaza, Joe Smith and Teague continues to improve nightly. We are a legit 9 deep team right now, but by the end of the year it should be 10. I still get the feeling that Woodson isn't comfortable with going to Teague a lot in close games, but if Teague continues to play like he is now, then Woodson will have no choice. Favorable schedule coming up, so hopefully the Hawks continue to take advantage of the weaker teams.to

[BAMABIRD]

Games like this will allow Teague to get more minutes. I like how Woody is bringing Teague along. Let the coach do his thing, he knows whats best for his young rookie PG.
