Of course the ATL
Yea my boy is a hawks fan (im not) and he was telling me that ATL aint miss Demarre because of how Baze playin. But u cant let the stats fool you. DMC was the best wing defender and he was clutch as fukk. He didnt dribble off his feet and constantly stay on the ground

DMC was a goofy ass nikka too tho, he played it off better but he fell down dribbling the ball more than anyone on the team last yr. his clutch factor was meh, but he wasn't really called on to be clutch. If we gon keep it real, DMC ain't really play well offensively until like March of last season. He wasn't putting up numbers like that

He had one stretch early in the fourth quarter where I think he had like 4 turnovers in less than 3 minutes. He plays super hyper, sometimes for no reason. His game is frustrating as fukk because he plays with no pace, just reckless abandon
That's why I don't think he is ready to start. He's just too wild regardless of him being better than Korver. Korver is always smart and under control. He plays the game always three steps ahead like Bibby. While Bazemore is like a dog.

He was clutch, he wasn't a clutch scorer but he was a clutch player. Yeah, he couldn't dribble but he wasn't uncoordinated. We got some goofies on our team like Bazemore, Sap and Horford. Not even mentioning nikkas like Tiago, Muscala and big ass Edy.

Since when did Tim Hardaway Jr become so gunshy.

I mean the total package. He could shut down a wing, make the right pass, get the rebound, steal etc. He could knock down the occasional three. He was the perfect player for this system plus he was the only nikka really putting in work last year in the playoffs consistently till he got hurt.

Smh, Paul gotta make that. I'm still disturbed we don't have a wing we can give the ball to and get us a bucket anytime we need it
This. Our best option to win a big game let alone any game is to give our pf a ISO from the 3pt line:scust: I'm sick of that shyt and if teague having a solid game tonight accelerates a fix I'm down.

I miss that nikka, he really is the difference. That tells you how much this team rely on that starting five. They could have won 65 games too. This team is lacking that SF who does the little things and can really hoop.

I think the biggest place bazemore can improve is simply FEEL for the game. I feel qohelet on him running unnecessarily at times.

I loved DMC but let's not act like he wasn't terrible at dribbling. Especially his 1st yr here as a starter. The 2nd year in march he barely dribbled because he became so pure from 3:dame:

I think he's scared if he shoots too much Bud will send him back to the D League :heh:

We know he was a terrible dribbler but he wasn't one of them nikkas dribbling into two defenders like Bazemore or Dennis. It's like he knew how to play the fukking game. I miss that, that's a starter in our system. Bazemore is just a talent, we need a starter.

Al and Sap shyt AND coach Bud need to realize their value is in being blue collar lunchpail players. You cant turn Milsap into Carmelo and expect him to win games like that. Al needs to get his big ass in the paint. Let Teague or Korver run off a screen or something because they were the only ones who were hot.

Baze and Kyle probably wouldnt start for any other contending team. Facts

The nikka is scared on offense, it's like shyt, I want my selfish Tim back from New York. That nikka gave you scoring, this nikka here plays good defense and gets to the line but it's nothing special.

Nan one of them nikkas was getting open. Bazemore is too damn foolish to get the ball to with the game on the line.

Don't get me wrong, DMC did a lot of good things here, I just think he gets hyped up like he was an all time great player we lost. He was a very solid player who did a lot of things well in our system and we do miss his contributions but we gotta remember he was the only starter who WASNT an All Star last yr. Outside of Millsap the rest of the starters have regressed for various reasons
