Tom Gugliotta started for Harrington against the Hornets.<br> <br> Harrington managed only two rebounds in the Hawks&#39; 12th straight loss, a 111-91 setback to the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday. With starting center Obinna Ekezie similarly ineffective, Woodson said ``Al and Ekezie didn&#39;t do the job.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Woodson also said ``I&#39;m going to find me some guys who want to play, if not this year then next year.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Harrington was on the injured list from Feb. 7-16 with tendinitis in the knee. He also missed the March 28 game at Orlando with the problem, and his status for the rest of the season had been uncertain.<br> <br> ``It&#39;s kind of up to him,&#39;&#39; Woodson said when asked about shutting Harrington down for the final nine games.<br> <br> Harrington is averaging 17.5 points in his first year in Atlanta. He also leads the team with 7.5 rebounds and 38.6 minutes per game.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
