Hawks (16-10) at Celtics (20-4) 12/16

Gotta get some good minutes from the bench here. I don't think Bradley will see the floor though.

[USG]

If Erden can just get some hands, he's got a chance to be really valuable for a while. Guy has a feel on offense.

[hpantazo]

that was a tough call on Quisy

[slamtheking]

Powell's looking like a nice pickup for Atlanta. 

That J is about all he has.  Brian Cook 2.0.

I may be seeing more than what's actually there but he seems to be hustling and helping on boards and D as well.  Nothing outstanding mind you, but definitely some decent play from someone I hadn't really heard of prior to this game.

He has good hands, his thumb is affecting his catching and shooting lately. The first few weeks of the season he showed that he can catch and shoot very well for a big.

This unit doesn't have enough passers for my liking.  And Semih still has zero rebounds. 

Shouldn't that be out of bounds on Nate? 

[snively]

Teague is no PG.

Is it? That's good to know.

Timing on boards is a big must too.

Tommy just pointed out Semih is shooting lefty but he's a righty.  the thumb is effecting which hand he uses.

[vinnie]

I love Semih's effort, but his rebounding is abominable and his defense not much better. How can a guy that big have NO rebounds?  none. He might get the worst position of any center in the world, never mind the NBA.

[snively]

If it wasn't for Marvin Williams the Hawks would be down by 15.

[slamtheking]

Teague is no PG.

no but he's looking like an offensive all-star tonight because no one on the C's is stopping him.

Sadly, they have no one to stop him tonight.

He rebounds like me.  Slaps at the ball instead of grabbing it.

I'm not sure that Avery Bradley could stop him if he had a stop sign.

And a gun.
