If Prince just dunked it IN the basket instead dunking on the rim, there would have been no way to block that shot. That's what I saw...

I won't actively take part in this (and such) discussion(s any more) but I have a litte fun fact which could make some here smile a bit. If I'm not totally mistaken, conditions for Dennis' $2M/year incentives are: reach the finals or become part of an NBA all defensive team... So he technically might have signed a $70M deal but will never see more than $62M. If I were Dennis I would kick myself once a week for that and would also give Bud (who gave hin that contract) a kick to the nuts once in a while... Maybe "once in a while" happened to be recently

Refs didn't whistle... ballgame

Trying to be funny? I really don't know why I'm still posting here...

Because every PG who isn't CP3 is considered a "selfish non playmaking undersized SG who doesn't make players around him better" by some posters here

True, but nevertheless his +/- (which was discussed here) suffers from his teammates throwing the ball away (and not hitting any shots too often) Prince was promising in last year's playoffs but at the moment one could see he isn't capable to fill the role he has now. Yes there are positives like his 3 point percentage, but if he starts a drive to the hoop he often has a tunnel vision and isn't able to adjust the play if necessary. In many such situations Dennis was benched in his early years, I hated it, but it was essential for Dennis' development. Prince isn't treated that way (at least not so much) because he already has another role to fill than Dennis in his 2nd year. We will see if that's the way Prince can grow with his tasks or if he develops bad habits due to missing punishment...

Of course he has, he is the primary ball handler.... Dennis, Baze and Prince are the team leaders in touches and turnovers player | touches | assists | TOs | A/TO | TO/touch Dennis | 91.2 | 6.5 | 2.9 | 2.2 | .024 Baze | 52.3 | 3.3 | 2.4 | 1.4 | .046 Prince | 46.7 | 2.3 | 2.3 | 1.0 | .049 If you watch this stats, do you still want to tell me Dennis is the most turnover prone of them? Baze and Prince turn the ball over double the amount as Dennis does per touch and that without having the playmaking responsibility...

It's exactly the four mentioned at first + Otto Porter and Steven Adams. Current ReDrafts have Dennis at 7

sources?

Sometimes the measure shoes included and sometimes they don't. Maybe Prince is a 6'8 with shoes and LeBron 6'9 without...

Not losing Collins could have been enough to do so...

Who asked for that?

I hope you are right

No connection. Only two seperate thoughts in a single post. I don't see the potential others see in Bembry, yet - but of course he should get some time to find his form after injury... I just would like to know if pro tankers watch this team losing all the time. Because people quitting on watching their team while losing, even watching other teams instead and then return when the tank pays off wouldn't be considered fans on this side of the Atlantic, especially if they are the ones who demand the tank. But I tried to ask without offending anybody...

And I see absolutely nothing in Bembry. Is any of the pro tankers actually watching this games?

I'm slowly getting tired of watching this shit over and over again....

This Bleacher Report article lists Dennis as the 6th best isolation scorer of the league (behind Harden, LeBron, Durant, Oladipo and Austin Rivers)

@aali34 If you use Youtube Links like that: https://youtu.be/tZAuZZ4Zt1I?t=44, they will start at the second given in the link (?t=44)

Yeah let's see which bust the Hawks pick next season to safe the franchise...

I think he had some hockey assists too (no data yet) He had some real nice passes but didn't realized the opponent had figured them out at some point and that's why he threw away the ball 3 times in a row. If he had stopped these passes after the initial turn of this squence I would have been absolutely fine with his game. And of course it's much easier to get his part of the scoring if his mates have to be respected to. Can't complain about 8/12 FGs

It think he meant more like: How many made it and how many tried?

How many teams didn't get a chip despite drafting a star? (Okc drafted even three) And how many teams failed to draft a star despite picking deep in the lottery? Tanking is a lottery and I don't see the chances much better than developing players in a winning environment like the Hawks were before two years... The only thing you know for sure while tanking is to see a lot of awful basketball and losses... A team with such a low fan support like the Hawks may even be moved if they draft some busts and this tank fails, to a place where fans are waiting desperately for a basketball team...

WTF happened to Dennis game? This last two games he was awful - at least the last one we would have won with him playing at least decent...

Wow this was really ugly. But this game shows how being disrespected by the refs destroys a game. Dennis not getting calls doesn't only mean missing points from the line, it also takes away the chance to find his shooting rythm on the line in such off nights. And Collins getting the full non-star-rookie-treadment by the refs destroys the game as well. He is called for things nobody else in this league is...

Y'all know that a deal doesn't always has a winner and a loser? So even if that was the best trade ever for Charlotte, that doesn't necessarily mean it was bad for the Hawks...
