Sounds like Bibby is being bashed just because they wanted to get rid of him

You have lost it

4 pts and 2 assists in 32 minutes, the guy is worse than Marvin in so many ways for this team. If we had lost that game you would be saying we need more from Hinrich. That win was all about Al.

That's cool, but I am also sure Kirk Hinrich does not have what it takes to lead a team to the Eastern Conference Finals since we are basing things off of the past. My thoughts have a lot more facts to back them up than yours considering Kirk has had that chance many many times

Hinrich didn't shut anyone down. Was he the one blocking the shot at the end, was he the one with a hand in his face with the desperation 3? Nope, when we lose and Hinrich has the same stats as tonight watch you guys start complaining the truth is he was the least effective starter tonight when you look at minutes played.

I was wrong about the blown out part but Hinrich is garbage. Teague is so much better defensively.

This is still a lateral move if it's about getting to the Eastern Conference Finals. At best Kirk Hinrich will be our 4th best starter and battle Marvin for least effective starter. He is taking minutes away from your future PG and we are not going anywhere. His numbers are about the same as Teague's or worse since the trade.

Kirk Hinrich did not do anything. He and Marvin are the two most worthless starters on a playoff team. Good game Al, he deserves all the credit because if we had lost noone would be satisfied with the games of Hinrich, Marvin, or Joe

Al needs 20 shots a game and Teague needs 20 mins a game, Kirk Hinrich will give Marvin a run for least effective starter. All truths :stirthepot:

Hinrich was the least valuable starter tonight. Looks like Marvin will have competition for that honor. Teague only got 1 stint and no more play when he was not the one that put them into the 14-0 hole. Horford is Boss, and would be a 1st ballot HOF'er if he played D like Josh

As long as the franchise makes lateral to backwards moves the fans will stay outnumbered

The talk about Hinrich making the team tougher and better is such a joke. Good or great PG's dont have teams get off to 14-0 starts

Another case of you have to watch the games. Granger can look really subpar against good defenses. On the other hand, you put him as a 3rd wheel which he will be proven to be over the next few years you have a quality Big 3. Teague Joe Granger Smith Horford Even with Al playing the C out of position thats a team that will get to the Finals.

Yes, that's the bright side but I think he will play well and that will be the negative side because he should not have been put back on the bench. This is not Hinrich's team and will never be, but it could well be Teague's team sooner than later. People get tired of seeing signs or flashes the guy needs 20+ minutes with NBA level players not Josh Powell and Zaza and ballhoging Jamal

This smells blowout with Hinrich trying to guard Rose and Smith out

Who wants to see them get blown out at home? Kirk Hinrich is garbage defensively Rose will eat him alive.

The Hawks will get blown out. Kirk is overrated on defense.

He's hurting and we will miss his shooting

Guess he will look good in a suit

Sund is not good, should have tried to get two cheap young pieces from a team under the cap like the Kings.

11-4 With Josh and Kirk. 8-7 Without them. Team really need to get another big and Wing and could have if it was not all about going over the luxury threshold.

That one move for someone who has been around 30 years is not enough. Getting Jamal who GS had benched and told stay away from the team for a guy they could wave and expirings is hardly genius to me. If we are going to try to match negatives with positives his negatives out way his positives and it's not even close. We could go through all of his transactions if the info is out there and you wish to.

Teague played well scoring is his issue right now.

Sund is one of the worse GM's ever. He helped ruin Seattle and turn them into OKC and will do the same to the Hawks, I am convinced they will be moving to Las Vegas within 5 years. Sund horrible moves: Zaza's contract, Marvin's contract, not drafting a big in any draft when we clearly need atleast 2 more productive bigs. Trading 2 #1 picks for a serviceable player that makes your fragile payroll worse. Letting a lottery pick walk for a 2nd rd pick and an exception you will not use. Not trading Jamal because I don't think we will be able to resign him to start with, if we do he will be our only non minimum salary player that we sign and that means the team will not be any better. Conclusion, Sund is a old dog that is stuck in his ways to the detriment of any franchise

Thorton is possibly better than Marvin and would come cheaper. Brewer would add length. Just another reason why I can't really spend money on supporting the Hawks. They will never go both feet in when trying to take the next step or improve because it always comes back to money. People act like paying Hinrich $9 million next year is nothing when we were not going to pay Bibby and Jordan that put together, that $1 million extra we will spend paying Hinrich by himself could have been used to help get a FA that will deepen the bench. As someone stated a few days ago. I don't like this teams immediate future or down the line future.
