First and foremost, I've been reading this forum for years and after a wrecking Hawks week I decide to join this great community. In advance sorry for my english mistakes.
I dont know where can I start to vent my frustratrions. Its clear that this team has flaws since last season. I'll try to enumerate them:
1- Korver is not a starter player. We cannot build our offense around him anymore. Sadly he is our only true shooter though, we need him unless THJ is stepping up consistently.
2- We havent paid 70M to Bazemore for playing out of position. He is a clear SG. Playing as a SF he was beaten up by Batum, Anthony and Hayward.
3- At the moment Millsap and Howard dont mesh well in this system. Millsap hasnt improved his 3 point shoot to create space, so both eat space in the paint for each other. There were a few games when both played good.
4- We are in some sort of midlife Bud crisis. We lack a true identity in offense, we dont know how to play. In theory we are a more physical team but we play really soft like the shooting team we were with Horford and Teague. No ball movement and no chemistry whatsover.
5- I dont know if there are some issues in the locker room, but after these blowouts Im starting to think that Bud with his stubbornness might lose control of this team. I mean if something isnt working some changes are really needed.
6- We might make a trade next February if we fall in the race of 2-6 in the East. Every passing day is more likely and urgent.
