Tough game to watch last night...perspective will ease the pain but that shyt was difficult to watch, not gonna lie. As for the season, unbelievable year, wow so many memories and a good run. The ECF was a failure but at least we got there. Now we gotta get to the Finals.
As for the roster:
PG: Teague (1st time All Star, showed some growth but also still showed his maddening inconsistency with his lack of consistent aggression. I don't want to trade him but if we could package him for a superstar level guard then I'd consider it. Y'all gotta remember the type of PG Bud wants, a probing, quick floor general. I've seen suggestions like Brandon Jennings...c'mon y'all that's not the type of PG Bud wants)
SG: Korver (obviously wore down down the stretch...was not even close to the same player post ASG and it showed. His play tailed off the same time the team did. I'd be in favor of bringing him off the bench if we got a clear upgrade at the SG position).
SF: DMC (Bring him back at all costs, as long as it ain't too ridiculous. Dude is all heart and his offensive game is starting to show up. Was our best player in the postseason with turf toe and a bad knee. Gotta bring him back)
PF: Millsap (hurt before the playoffs & then mediocre during the playoffs. He cost himself some money with his lackluster play, but obviously is a must resign. 2 time AS, very versatile, crafty, he's a big part of what we do)
C: Horford (el jefe, the captain. He's locked in, coming off an AS season. Had some big moments in the playoffs, but his lack of post play hurt vs. CLE. I don't think you move Horford to PF because that eliminates the mismatch he has with his quickness at the C position. Y'all gotta remember, Al is a AS at C. Is he an All Star at PF? IDK. I prefer him at the C TBH
Bench: Schroeder will continue to improve. If he can get a consistent shot, h could push Teague to start
Bazemore: gotta get bigger, gotta improve his handle and his shot. Played well when called upon, versatile defender
Mack: May not be enough room for him here, but he's a pro's pro at the backup spot. Played well when we needed him as well
Scott: gotta establish touch around the rim. I'm a fan of his game, but he's too reliant on his outside shot. Needs to work on his rebounding and inside game in the summer
Moose: played his ass off down the stretch, had some moments in the playoffs, he's earned a right to be the first big off the bench moving forward
John Jenkins:
see ya breh
Antics:
fukk outta here
Brand: enjoy retirement
Daye: enjoy unemployment
Bud: GOAT Hawks coaching season, COY plus arguably executive of the year. Not much he did that didn't work except him resting our guys for the second half of the season. This was a .500 team in the playoffs & .500 down the stretch, that decision backfired IMO
Outlook: if we can resign Carroll & Millsap and focus on depth on the wings and get bigger, I could see 55-60 wins again. Focus has to be on half court execution and rebounding, but everything else is in place. New logo & new owners on the way too
to the #Set, hellavu year brehs
