back up.

Just because he didn't score 22 points doesn't mean he was non-existent. He grabbed every rebound he could in limited minutes of game 7. Including 6 offensive boards. He was also solid in games 1 and 2. Not to mention the good defense he usually gives us. Sure we need him to play more at that next level but that doesn't mean he's non-existent just because he's not scoring 20 points.

It's hard to prove anything when your coach won't play you or only gives you a token 5 minutes a game. We've all seen Teague have a good game and then not play in the next one. Woody will do his best(or worst) to make sure Teague doesn't develop.

Just blame Marvin like everyone else around here does.

Kobe is one of the best closers in the game. He and Joe are not anywhere near the same level.

Wasn't Marvin 7-10? How is that being lost?

To be fair Joe made the allstar game by being the best player on godawful teams.

Marvin is the best on ball defender on this team so there's no real debate there. Marvin FG% - .448% Crawford FG% - .449% What's the difference? Well Crawford gets 13.8 attempts per game and Marvin only gets 8.3. I watch him post up his guy every game at least once and just has his way with them. Of course Woody never goes back to it. Marvin needs more touches and he'd be pretty effective.

"Coach Woodson says he isn't holding Marvin back, and really it comes down to the player taking his game to another level." I disagree. When Marvin had that big first half against the Spurs, Woody went with iso after iso with Joe and Craw in the second half. Same thing happened in the Utah game. If Woody would actually run plays for Marvin maybe he'd be more consistent. Also in the next game Marvin got two shots and only played 16 minutes. I'd say he's done his best to hold Marvin back.

It's not like Bibby just recently went to crap though. He's been horrid for months now.

I think Marvin was hurt. He came up limping after he took that foul that they had to check to see if it was a three point shot or not. He played a few more minutes and then I saw him go to the locker room with the trainer when he came out.

If he wants the max then I would let Joe walk and make a bid for Wade or Bosh.

When in doubt blame Marvin, LOL. This board is hilarious.

Actually Griffey did want to play in Atlanta. Just never materialized.

Andruw Jones is the only player I knew of that lived at the strip club...when he was younger of course. Then again it's not like anyone watches 30 rock anyway...

You're wrong about the draft. It's supposed to be one of the deepest drafts in recent memory. The more picks the better. Also the Thrashers are still in the playoff hunt. We got two good young prospects and a pick to go along with a top 4 dman and all we gave up was a one dimensional player who wants the biggest contract of all time. We got a great return considering Kovy is a rental and word is he'd rather take the big money and play in the KHL. The entire fan based isn't pissed. Those of us that know the players and the game past the "superstars" names know this was a good move for the Thrashers. Also so we're clear on the math here...SOMETHING > NOTHING

Double double tonight and he barely played in the second half. Weird that we took out our best rebounder of the night against a team rebounding everything in site. Oh well, at least Bibby was out there to guard the 3 point line.

Maybe Woodson being a bad coach has something to do with those PG's failing.? You earn the benefit of the doubt when you develop players. Not when they sit on the bench, not develop and leave. Um, that's what happens when guys stay on the bench. They don't develop.

The jumper not going in is a direct result of the lack of minutes played. Working on it in practice is completely different then in a real game. You can't expect him to get better playing 3 minutes a night and maybe MAYBE taking two jumpshots a game. People like northcyde want Teague to suddenly improve his game while sitting on the bench. That's not going to happen.

Yeah a slump...a two month slump. Good lord people, try to check your homerism at the door.

Come on people. Mario West isn't going to help anything.

I just don't get why we kept playing Crawford when he couldn't hit a shot all night.

LOL @ Teague and his one minute. What a joke.

Teague doesn't play enough for anyone to form a real opinion on his play.

I think the problem is that we don't have a superstar. I like Joe but he is not a superstar. Kobe is. We need someone like that we can lean on to carry this team. Joe doesn't do that. He's a nice player to have but he will more than likely not take you very far.
