|
| |  | ATLANTA: GUARDS: Considering he was almost gone a year ago, the Hawks are thankful JEFF TEAGUE is still in town. He may never be a great shooter, but he gets wherever he wants on the floor . . . KYLE KORVER is still the NBA's premier shooter, and he's shown no signs of relinquishing that title . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA gives the Hawks a defensive option to complement Korver. He looked worn down last season though, eventually falling out of OKC's rotation . . . KENT BAZEMORE gives Atlanta some more offensive firepower off the bench . . . DENNIS SCHRODER showed flashes of that Rajon Rondo Lite promise last year. Don't be surprised to see him paired with Teague in some lineups . . . There's no guarantee JOHN JENKINS will ever be the same after back surgery. FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP has developed into a capable co-alpha, along with Jeff Teague. In addition to his low-post work, he's developed a three-point shot and the ability to work off the dribble . . . DeMARRE CARROLL is trying to add a three-point shot to his repertoire. It would give him a big boost in offensive value to go along with his defense and all-around hustle . . . ADREIAN PAYNE will provide some much-needed depth at the 4 and 5 spots. He's NBA-ready, especially with his ability to pull opposing big men away from the basket with his shooting . . . MIKE MUSCALA gives them another big man who can shoot it, but he's not athletic enough to hold his own in the NBA. CENTERS: Will AL HORFORD ever stay healthy? He's an All-Star when he is. His recent injuries have been a bit fluky, but it's going to be tough to trust him . . . PERO ANTIC proved to be a capable stretch-5 last year, but the arrival of Payne will likely push him out of the rotation. | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: JOHN WALL has improved tremendously over the past two seasons. His physical skills are off the chart, and now he's significantly cut back on head-scratching mistakes . . . It appears that BRADLEY BEAL is becoming the perfect running mate for Wall in the short and the long term. He continues to develop off-the-dribble skills to go along with his shooting. His broken wrist is expected to fully heal by late November . . . ANDRE MILLER is in more of a mentor role in Washington. He's 38 and averaged less than 17 minutes per night last season . . . GLEN RICE JR. tore up Summer League, but it's unlikely the gunner will become an efficient scorer . . . GARRETT TEMPLE gives them a defense-first option off the bench, but his playing time will be minimal again. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE takes Trevor Ariza's spot at the 3. He'll have much more space to work in, not that he's ever needed it . . . The Wizards will likely play it safe with NENE HILARIO's minutes during the regular season again. They'll need him fresh for the playoffs, and they have enough frontcourt depth to do it . . . Back surgery is going to keep MARTELL WEBSTER out for a huge chunk of the season. He's a question mark even after he returns . . . After a lost rookie season, OTTO PORTER should be able to break into this rotation, especially with Webster out . . . KRIS HUMPHRIES will provide some rebounding and energy behind Nen' . . . It's incredible that DREW GOODEN is still employed. CENTERS: MARCIN GORTAT made beautiful pick-and-roll music with Wall last year. There's no reason that shouldn't continue. Gortat is a fringe All-Star . . . DeJUAN BLAIR can mix it up for 20 minutes per night, especially against smaller 5's. |

*Hawks-Wizards Preview* =======================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer
Atlanta At Washington, Game Two, 5:00 p.m. EDT
John Wall did his best not to appear dejected when discussing his status for Game 3 against the Atlanta Hawks.
He complimented his Washington Wizards teammates for their valiant effort without him before falling short in Game 2 and still left open the possibility of playing in this contest.
But Wall knows his chances of being on the court Saturday night in Washington aren't too good as the pain caused by five non-displaced fractures in his left wrist and hand lingers.
"If the pain goes away and I can dribble and do those things, then it's all up to me if I want to take that risk to hurt my hand even more down the road," Wall said. "How competitive I am, if I'm able to be myself then there's a great percentage I will play. But if I can't be myself there's no point of going out there.
"I believe in (my teammates) 110 percent. I don't want everything to be on me."
The decision to make Wall inactive Tuesday came shortly before tipoff, as Wall struggled to complete basic drills in pregame warmups. Ramon Sessions started in his place and scored 21 points, but the Wizards couldn't keep up without their leader down the stretch and fell 106-90 as Atlanta evened this Eastern Conference semifinal series at one game apiece.
Bradley Beal, playing through a sprained ankle, finished with 20 points and seven assists as he took over the point guard duties. Wall is averaging a league-high 12.6 assists in the postseason.
"I got to rely on my teammates and act like John is there when he's not there," Beal said.
Otto Porter and Paul Pierce each added 15 points for the Wizards, who trailed the top-seeded Hawks by only five entering the fourth quarter, though they'll need an even better effort to take back the series lead if Wall can't go.
"It's the playoffs. You're going to run into problems, ups and downs, injuries," Porter said. "Our mindset and game plan is the same. Going in and playing very aggressive, very confident."
The Hawks quickly realized that Washington has more weapons than Wall, who had 18 points and 13 assists in the Wizards' 104-98 victory in Game 1 despite suffering his injury in the second quarter.
Beal also got hurt in that contest but hasn't let the injury hamper his production. Pierce is averaging 16.0 points in the playoffs and Marcin Gortat is scoring 15.2 for the Wizards, who are 5-1 in the postseason.
"It's dangerous, man," Hawks reserve Kent Bazemore said after Game 2. "Oh, their best player is not playing, so they don't have a chance. ... But they still have a very dangerous team."
Atlanta does, too. DeMarre Carroll had 22 points Tuesday, and the imposing front line of Paul Millsap and Al Horford that has helped hold Nene to no field goals in the series scored 18 apiece.
Carroll especially has elevated his game, averaging 22.0 points over the last six games after scoring 12.6 per contest during the season.
The Hawks still have their issues, though. Jeff Teague has shot 7 for 26 in the series and was outplayed by Sessions in Game 2, finishing with nine points and eight assists.
Korver shot an NBA-best 49.2 percent from 3-point range during the season, but he's 7 of 22 in this series and has shot 37.8 percent overall in the last six games.
Atlanta had the East's best road record during the season but dropped two of three at Brooklyn in the first round.
