Our defense was really good tonight. Like exceptionally good. Our offense is just wack, it is what it is.
I remember seeing something a couple of weeks ago where we were 1st in defensive efficiency since the start of January

Also, this dude Kris Humphries instantly becomes the Hawks best rebounder. Crazy.

That's what that man does, had back to back 10+ RPG seasons w/ the Nets and has a career average of 11 RPG per 36 mins. Can't believe it took the postseason deadline for Bud & Co to figure out we needed a guy who can rebound. Don't know how much of an impact he'll make tho

So it looks like Hardaway is starting to eat into Korver's minutes and is coming along at the right time heading down the stretch. My question is...if THJ continue improving the rest of the season and playing with the starters down the stretch like he did in the Charlotte game, does this make Bazemore or Korver expendable in the off-season? I think we can all agree Bazemore is a SG playing SF so if Tim is the starting SG next year and we look for a legit SF, I'm not so sure Bazemore would be cool coming off the bench...

Baze is a FA after this yr, Korver is on a reasonable deal, I'd like to keep both ideally. Neither one of them are starters on a championship team, but Hardaway isn't really either. The thing is, do we draft or sign a FA or two who can actually win the starting SG & SF positions?

And Baze may not be cool coming off the bench but he's gotta be real about what he is: An undersized SF who doesn't really handle the ball well enough to be a guard, he can be a 10 ppg scorer off the bench, but his decline since Jan should tell us what role he should have for us moving forward

But Holiday was one of those key FAs pickups, Mack resigned last summer too :francis:

Team coming off a 2-3 home stand, Bud shouldn't be the GM
Because another gm could have brought us a player good enough to beat the warriors?:francis:

This season is what it is:yeshrug:

I'ma watch Dennis grow into a star and Hardaway turn into a legit player for us. Humphries gonna add something we lacking. This a rough stretch but we gon make it:mjcry:

Not worried about tonight. Win or lose this isn't a team good enough to get out of the first round. I do think we have a chance to win the division, which I think would be a major accomplishment considering how lackluster we've looked.

Interested to see how Humprhies looks for us...like said @FreshFromATL hes our best rebounder by default
