ATL vs IND

[Ruhiel]

Probable starters:
Jeff Teague--------PG--Darren Collison
Kirk Hinrich--------SG--Paul George
Marvin Williams----SF--Danny Granger
Josh Smith---------PF---David West
Zaza Pachulia------C---Roy Hibbert

----
Hawks Injury Report: Al Horford (pectoral) and Jason Collins (elbow) are out. Joe Johnson (knee) is doubtful. Tracy McGrady (knee) and Willie Green (back) are questionable.

Pacers Injury Report: Jeff Foster (back) is out.
----

Uh-oh. No Joe and Them Pacers are looking for blood.

I think keys will be
- Kirk vs George
- then George Hill off of Indiana's bench
- Smith vs West; last time Smith took and hit a boatload of jumpers. With no Joe Johnson taking off pressure he likely has to find a way to adjust.
- We are Away. Pacers likely get some home cooking from the refs.

idk why Injury Report has "Joe Johnson (knee) is doubtful". Are we expecting a Willis Reed from him? lol

I hope we compete

****!
No JJ is ok now. But no Green... oh, no... Green is essential now to this team...

I don't know, we did win the last two games without him.

I believe in us after the OKC game. Games vs Philly, Orlando, and Indy are twice as important because of the race for 3rd. Lets see if we get 3 straight games of "Good Josh"

Good luck.

McGrady said he has to manage his surgically-repaired left knee: “It doesn’t do very well on the back-to-backs. I didn’t have my balance and planted it wrong [vs. the Thunder]. It was already sore before the game.” Drew: “I don’t think he’s 100 percent but he feels like he can go. We will see how he looks.”

I think Marvin and Josh bring their A-Game defensively ala vs OKC. I think we lockdown Granger and West. But anyone have a feeling Paul George or Hill goes off?

[HMFFL]

I intend on paying close attention to Josh Smith to see how he performs. It's his team tonight, he needs to set the tone, and be a leader to the best of his ability.

Smith wasn't exactly getting past West last time. A boatload of drives ending in stepback jumpers.

I have a bad feeling about this. We'll see.

[Ruhiel]

TEAGUE!!!!!!!

[Ruhiel]

did you guys see that close up on 6'10 Paul George vs Kirk. Josh wont like that. Malice in Indiana.

VERY CHIPPY early

[Ruhiel]

Josh with some very ugly post ups vs West. Almost turned it over 2 or 3 times and That desperation Pargo FGA was a horrible look.

[johnny878]

jesus christ, he is 7 for 9 at the time of your post and you are still bitching non stop about him

[Rip2137]

He's not really bitching. He post this weird play by play only he skips the plays that don't agree with his ideas of how this team should work. Meaning Josh can't play well against PF's because he is a SF and all, so he has to point out when things dont go perfectly.

[HMFFL]

58-54 at the half.

[Superiorblogman]

If Teague could make a layup or FT we could really be on to something that young fella.

[Ruhiel]

Circle post up = switch

Smith hits the jumper over Roy

pick and pop, West falls for fake Smith pulls up at elbow jumper. wet.
