Zaza Pachulia has had a rough time since coming back from injury as he’s not yet got his starting job back. The Hawks need him to earn his job back because his hustle is a good example for the younger Hawks players. He’s only averaging 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in his last six games. He needs to double that to get his starting job back.
With Speedy Claxton and Tyronn Lue both out with injuries, Joe Johnson has solid over to point guard for a little bit. The Hawks really needed someone off the bench to step up it the backcourt and Childress has been that guy. In his last 7 games, Childress has averaged 15.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He’s also been a very hot shooter as he’s hit 55.4% from the floor in those games. The Hawks need Childress to keep playing well because the Hawks are not a very deep team.
The Hawks got beat for the second night in a row by the Charlotte Bobcats and both of these losses were beatings! The Hawks played absolutely no defense last night as the Bobcats hit 64.6% of their shots from the floor! Joe Johnson led the Hawks with 22 points and 5 assists. Marvin Williams also had a good game with 20 points and 5 rebounds.
The Hawks fell to 13-25 on the season with this loss. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270120030
