55 mins agoAtlanta Hawks: For wear and tear talk ’bout practice, not games
Hawks Blog | Atlanta Journal-Constitution — Woody ran his players into the ground when he looked like this. From time to time I’ve heard concerns that Woody is running his main guys into the ground and I know that’s been his rep. So let’s look at the minutes per game for J.J., Smoove and Al before I point out how those numbers might not even be the most important consideration in the matter. J.J.’s minutes are down slightly, from 39.5 last season to 38.1 this year–the fewest he’s averaged since he was a bench player for Phoenix in 2002-03. Smoove is playing 35.1 minutes per game, same as last season a...

23 hours agoAtlanta Hawks Squawks: Hawks 105, Wizards 99
Hawks Blog | Atlanta Journal-Constitution — – After the game the Hawks were pumping up the Wizards as tougher than they seem because they had been competitive in losses lately. “We’ll take it,” Horford said. “They’ve been struggling but I’ve seen them play close games against good teams. We weren’t taking anything for granted.” – I understand the Hawks taking a victory any way they can get it against whichever opponent, especially after what happened at Miami and New York. And I know all heck would have broke loose with a loss so give the Hawks credit for surviving. – But come on, man. It’s getting a little late...

March 11, 2010Hawks at Wizards . . . AKA Will (Should) Joe Johnson Go?
Hawks Blog | Atlanta Journal-Constitution — Will Joe take his ball and leave? Do you want him to go? (Zach Wolfe, Dimemag) New York media have their eye on J.J. Meanwhile THHB (now over at Peachtree Hoops) says you can have J.J. with his old, expensive, ball-demanding self. First, the New York stuff. J.J. went through the media wringer there like all big-name (he is, right?) free-agents-to-be. Speculation was that Johnson’s history with Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni and agent Arn Tellem’s relationship with Donnie Walsh could lead to J.J. signing with the Knicks. Johnson didn’t say he won’t leave the Hawks and there’s no ...

- Heyward-less Braves muster five singles Atlanta Braves with David O'Brien | Atlanta Journal-Constitution Lake Buena Vista, Fla. – Chipper Jones said last week that the Braves would need Jason Heyward on the roster from opening day to be a division contender, because “the complexion of our lineup drastically changes if Jason Heyward’s not in there.” Based on Saturday’s game, Jones could be onto something: With Heyward out of the lineup, the Braves mustered five hits — all singles — in a 3-0 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays. Heyward is batting .429 with a home run, four RBIs and a .786 slugging percentage in seven games, and has six walks with one strikeout. Co...
- Lowe, Jurrjens good to go for next starts Atlanta Braves with David O'Brien | Atlanta Journal-Constitution Lake Buena Vista, Fla. – Jair Jurrjens’ right shoulder and Derek Lowe’s right big toe felt fine Saturday, so anyone worried about the Braves’ starting rotation can probably take a deep breath and relax, for the time being. Jurrjens said his arm felt good a day after he worked two innings Friday in a Grapefruit League debut delayed more than week while he recovered from shoulder inflammation. He’ll make his next start Tuesday on three days’ rest instead of four, which will enable the Braves to keep the rotation in order after a rainout pushed Jurrjens’ debut...
- Hudson pleased with stuff, but not results Atlanta Braves with David O'Brien | Atlanta Journal-Constitution Lake Buena Vista, Fla. – Tim Hudson didn’t have a clean outing and didn’t get any run support, but the veteran pitcher found reason for encouragement after his performance Saturday in the Braves’ 3-0 loss against Toronto. “It was a good work day,” said Hudson, who kept busy for four innings, allowing seven hits and three runs (two earned) with six strikeouts. “I was able to go out and make some adjustments. It didn’t feel great, but it was one of those days where there are adjustments that need to be made from pitch to pitch, and for the most part I w...
