Things noticed from 1st half.

[KB21]

1. A defensive intensity is there that we haven't seen in a while. Duncan is getting his, but no one else has more than 5 points on the Spurs team.

2. The offense is being run through Shareef. Glen is the secondary guy and is shooting poorly, but it isn't bogging the team down like it has in the past.

3. Who is this Mike Wilks, and where did he come from?

4. Dominique Wilkins is on the bench as an assistant coach.

5. Mike Wilks? Anybody?

6. Players seem to be responding to Terry Stotts.

7. If Stotts turns this thing around, I think Babcock should be fired for A) not making the move sooner and B) not hiring Stotts when he hired Kruger in the first place!

8. Who is Mike Wilks? This kid has 7 points on 3 for 3 shooting with 4 assists in 20 minutes. He started and has added ball handling and defense to the back court.

9. Hawks have turned the ball over only 4 times!!
