This isn't even the first game it has happened which is just crazy. Other players do it too I can't show the examples like DolFan, but the coach definitely needs to do something. The player denying the PG the ball usually turns it over or jacks up some stupid shot, it sucks to watch.

I hope so, he needs to play like this every night!

Normally this would give us a mismatch at the SF position since a SG would be covering marvin...but marvin can do nothing but defend.

MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A OREB DREB REB AST STL BLK TO PF +/- PTS 40 6-14 1-3 7-9 1 2 3 6 2 0 2 3 +25 20 Salmons against the Lakers. I don't know why I posted this I was just curious how they did against the same competition...was too lazy to get all their comps.

This?!

Not placing the blame on him, there is no way we should've been in that position that was the fault of others. Those turnovers took the wind out of our sails though at that moment in the game. I think Hinrich overall had a nice game though. To see him clapping and waving his arms to get the ball and not get it says a lot about what did put us in that position.

His outlook is grim until he proves something in the playoffs because the regular season play isn't looking great.

Why did Drew have Josh guarding Amare...makes no sense. I think Hinrich's turnovers killed our momentum, but we should have been in a better position if guys were knocking down shots. Craw 5-13, Marvin 2-7, Joe 7-15. Jumpshooting team makes for quick playoff exit especially Iso jump shooting teams. Iso teams that penetrate and get fouled are going to do better. I'm not saying anything new at all. We need a post presence because all our plays result in jumpshots. Could we still say we are getting used to the trade? I dunno how much time do you think is fair for them to adjust to it?

Is Al sick or injured? If not, I'm sick and injured from watching his display of effort last night. He was passing up open shots early. Its funny generally if his first shot goes in he is set and will shoot well, but i've noticed when that first shot misses he defers and usually concentrates on doing other stuff like rebound and defend. He did neither last night.

Every two techs he get another game suspension.

Horford does some of that, but I don't think he yells in other player's faces. Smith's giant balls thing probably got him on some lists.

So you are adding Hinrich to your list?

I do feel bad for trading Bibby out of the blue like that because I do appreciate what he brought to the franchise when we were in need of leadership and what he brought to the court. And especially on a day where he was getting tickets for everyone back home. I hope the ASG puts something together to welcome him back when he comes with Miami he did a lot for us. It did work out for the best for us to trade him in that deal because of the way the salaries matched.

i'm usually the first person complaining about the hawks mailing it in and taking the easy way to play the game (jumpers), but I have to give it to them for playing hard with defense and making some real effort plays. Do the work and get the dividends from that work in the form of a win I hope they keep it up. They still take too many jumpers, but you can't change everything at once.

Zaza didn't have the best game, but when he came in he did some of the gritty things that get the team back into the game. Pushing Boozer on that terrible foul got us fired up for sure.

hinrich is owed 8 million next year.

Maybe they only watched the pistons game this year.

Also it didn't change for me the first time I opened the chat I had to refresh it. This is for people who wonder why it didn't change, if it didn't for them.

I'm hoping Al can be a big part of tonight since he didn't get that many minutes last night. Also something to think about is this. Half the nuggets players aren't used to the altitude as they just got there a couple days ago.

Very good article. I hope we see post moves in his game soon. Thanks for getting it. Makes me wonder what a real scouting report looks like.

I wanted to read this article does anyone have access?

Thanks!

I'm not sure why JC wouldn't want to do this. He's a shooter right?

Good game by Zaza he has always been a hard working low talent kind of guy and a team with this defensive intensity will hopefully light a fire under him and get him to bring it every night. EEEEYYYYYYY!!!

I think he has looked good and warranted more than the 13 minutes he got last night, but I also think it is just a matter of time before other teams just say box out when he goes to the hole because he doesn't finish well. Maybe it is ok that he is getting the limited minutes because they are pulling him after he does something positive rather than when he does something negative which they were doing in the past. Sitting down after a bad play is hard on the confidence.
