Finally got to see the game and had to give Teague and the guys props

[Admin]

Amazing, amazing effort from Teague and he looks like a completely different guy than the one I saw struggling so much throughout this season. He was just unstoppable and looked confident throughout and he is a dangerous player when he's playing like that. Just cannot overstate how happy I am to see that Teague and hope this is a sign of things to come.

Millsap was terrific, Carroll was awesome on both ends with timely insane baskets and terrific D on George. Antić completely took Hibbert out of the game and I loved seeing that. Korver worked his butt off, Mack had a couple big buckets, Brand had a big impact on the game in his minutes and if I'm forgetting someone please let me know.

Coach Bud is getting more and more of my respect as I feel so good about this team at least showing up to play every single game now and no matter what the opponent does we don't get too high or too low and we work.

Oh and that it sucks having to DVR the game and basically stay off the internet for nearly 24 hours but with us getting this win and my superstition I may try and do it again so that we can "steal" game 2.

PS - suck it Bill Simmons!

[Ruckus]

Suck it Simmons indeed!

Ya know out all posters on here that has been bashing Teague including me and dolf, why are we the only ones giving Teague his props when he actually steps up in some of the most important games.

I admit I couldn't stand Teague in a lot of the regular season games but it wasn't because I thought he sucked, it was because I know he has skills but he was just being too passive too much until recently.

Teague deserves BIG props right now and I hope he continues this great play cause this is how you make a name for yourself in this league.

Teague always plays well against number 1 seeds in the playoffs. (Remember 2011 vs. the Bulls?)

[Vol4ever]

This board has bashed Teague to no end ever since DF signed him to that contract. He did not play well in between the the first week or so of the season and the last few games of the season.

He turned in a great first game, the Pacers didn't know what hit them. Keep it up Jeff.

Oh please Dolfan...you can't just "miss the game" and then regurgitate a bunch of stuff that others have already posted...and get credit.

BE there for your team or admit that you sucked on your fanhood.

I'm tracking your fanhood and you have dropped 6% in the last 20 hours.

Better get your ass in gear son.

Wow. A 6% drop? Harsh.

[AHF]

Hate to think how much I must suck after being this late to the discussion after being out of pocket with family and traveling with work, but I actually watched this one with my father and loved every minute of it! If Teague plays with this mentality on a consistent basis, he will have the devotion of 99% of Squawkers. Can't wait to watch some TNT tonight! Go Hawks!!

[DrReality]

Carroll's defense needs to be acknowledged. As does Teague's coach-ability. You know Budz is talking to him about his 'A' game. bring it.

[AHF]

I live almost as far from Indy as Atlanta, but do love being able to watch the Hawks on TV with no problem. I saw more Hawks games in Atlanta this season than Indy (none for the latter) and expect that to continue. I will watch tonight's from a third state entirely.

Great game from all of the guys, specially Jeffy-T.

Here's hoping he goes Insaniteague the rest of the way!

He's Ice-Teague - cold water in his veins.

Don't make me regret saying this please!

Did you see the confidence Teague showed in his eyes? I think Bud has created a MONSTER

Oooh ooooh can I guess one squawker who will make up the loudest voice of the 1% who will still have something ridiculously negative to say?

Game 2 is where we finally find out if Teague is ready to be a top point guard. No one doubts his ability, it's his inconsistency, good luck Jeff!

Aww shucks Dolf. You never let me have any fun. Well how's the weather in Texas? Kind of hot in Atlanta today.

44 right now for me. Not hot. Hoping it really heats up in about 40 minutes!
