Starter Marvin Williams suffered a right knee injury Wednesday and was ruled out. Mo Evans (knee) will miss his fourth consecutive game. That's the complete list of Hawks small forwards.

The team also could be without guard Jamal Crawford, who missed the Pistons game after suffering a toe injury Tuesday at Cleveland. Crawford said Thursday the injury hadn't improved much. “It’s day-to-day,” he said. “It depends on how it feels when I wake up [Friday]."

The Hawks are deep at guard, but with Williams and Evans out, Drew said he would "have to move some pieces around" to fill in at small forward. Most likely, reserve 6-foot-11 center Zaza Pachulia will move into the starting lineup, with Al Horford moving to power forward and Josh Smith to small forward. Drew said he favors that lineup because Minnesota's starting frontcourt features Michael Beasley (6-10), Kevin Love (6-10) and Darko Milicic (7-0).

Great, now someone like Zaza is going to go off against us instead of Marvin.

Someone's actually game planning for us? I think this is a win in itself

Where is Joe Johnson in the starting lineup? C'mon, I know you've got a picture of a johnson somewhere.

s.darko was terrible, but Donnie Darko is a great flick.

All I can say is I hope they're fired up and ready to give A LOT more than they have the past week.

Beas is still day-to-day. He didn't sound too confident after practice though.

younggunsmn · Post #10 » by **younggunsmn** » Fri Nov 5, 2010 10:34 am

I'm just hoping for one game where the rotation has a small fragment of logic in it and players aren't yanked in and out in a random manner.

Post #11 » by **C.lupus** » Fri Nov 5, 2010 1:34 pm

Nice GT. I'm hoping they come out with some energy and their heads up. We could really use a good game from Darko in this one.

Beas still sore but will play & start

I would hope Ellington is sliding down the depth chart enough to where garbage minutes are probable...

I think Crawford being out helps us a lot. Williams too.

Love the picture of "Proposition Joe" Johnson.

I hope the wolves can shoot tonight. Transition defense and bad rotations on D aside, they just flatout couldn't buy a bucket on the road.

Welll I sure hope they put and effort up tonight,going to my first Wolves game of the year.Just please if the lose don't be more then 10-12 points.If they getting blow out again I am going to have to start up a fire Rambis chant.LETS GO WOLVES.

Hopefully Beasely is not rushing back too early.

Other than that I think having Darko on Zaza we need to see him go strong at the basket. Love will be on Horford which means he wont get burnt at the three point line like he did against the Magic.

Ridnour needs to push the pace against Bibby but not think he is stve nash with the quick trigger.
