Do you realize......

That Salim is shooting the same percentage as our starting PF ...although he has taken 62 3s.

Why isn't Salim shooting 20 times a game?

Why don't we run him off screens like Rip or Reggie?

Is it because he is a rookie?...so what!

Al my cry and whine because we take shots away from him in a contract year.....so what!

C'mon Woody let Salim shoot 20 - 25 times a game.

Do you realize that Al has a higher shooting percentage then JJ?

Maybe JJ should be benched. They both get almost all of their points off jumpshots.

Yep, except Al is playing the 4... and gets posted a lot more than JJ....that was my point, when your only post threat is shooting the same percentage as your guards ....then you have become a jumpshooting team...since we have become a jump shooting team, why don't you let your best jump shooters shoot the ball....follow along now....this is the part where Salim comes in.

Well, I am not sure having JJ and Salim on the court at the same time is a recipe for success in the long run - neither can run an offense.

That said, since the Hawks are in the throws of the 2004 through 2006 Hawks are becoming the NBA's all-time worst team, I can see your point - can't get any worse!
