<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Tyronn Lue has been back to his swashbuckling self the past two games for the Hawks. He was a major factor in wins over both San Antonio and Cleveland as an energetic spark off the bench. It's a role he's sure suits him best and one that works best for the Hawks, too. "At the start of games we need to get Joe [Johnson] and Al [Harrington] going early and then Zaza [Pachulia] going to do his thing," said Lue, a 10-game starter this season. "This way we can bring me and Salim [Stoudamire] off the bench and put some shooters on the floor to keep our scoring balanced when those other guys are resting." Lue scored a combined 35 points on 12-for-22 shooting in those wins over the Spurs and Cavaliers while playing just over 28 minutes a game. "I think it's more than just me [playing well]," Lue said. "Josh Childress has been doing a great job defensively, as far as being in the passing lanes and getting deflections. Defense is about effort, and Chils has been doing it every night." Lue joked that he's had to conserve his energy on the defensive end of the floor to jump-start his offensive game. "I'm not picking up full court anymore," Lue said with a smile. "They say I'm old, so I'm going to start acting like it. But the role I'm playing now is what works best for me and I think the team."</div> Source
