Premium Member sturt Posted January 28, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Pargo? Okay. But I like almost everything about Hinrich's game. He brings us everything Bibby brought us when he was playing well, plus, of course, is his defense. Yes, I'm blue in the face by now... I'd rather keep Hinrich and pick up Przybilla than to trade Hinrich unless that trade could yield both a legit big plus a legit replacement for Hinrich, and I just don't see that happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 http://blogs.ajc.com...fid=blogs_hawks thanks...but that article was written before Teague's injury tonight, so we will see depending on the severity of the injury. Kirk stepped in and did a hell of a job not only in running the offense but defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawse Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hinrich needs to be starting bottom line. Teague needs his minutes but he isn't a starter. Kirk sets our guys up perfectly and plays serious D. Dude comes in and almost has 10 dimes in this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted January 28, 2012 Moderators Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Great to have a good change-up to go to whenever the fastball isn't top-notch. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk sets our guys up perfectly and plays serious D. Dude comes in and almost has 10 dimes in this game. What?! LOL. Kirk isn't a point guard first of all. He struggled getting the ball over to halfcourt which hurt the flow of our offense. He atleast chewed up about 8 seconds before we got into our offensive plays. Kirk should play SG and Pargo should be put in as point guard to keep our pace fast and steady. And plus I think he can be more effective as an offensive option on the second team with TMAC. Kirk is a much better shooter with his feet set and shoulders facing the basket. Run him off picks and let him rain jumpers! That's how other coaches have used him in the past.

Premium Member Jody23 Posted January 28, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I wouldn't get to excited about a win over the Pistons. While Hinrich is a starter quality guard, Teague is clearly the starter and the future at that position. Hinrich is short term. The Hawks should know by now that making short term decisions without looking at the big picture eventually blows up in your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk being a back-up is nothing new for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFan87 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Kirk is still not in game shape yet.. And people annoy me with the lets not get excited because is the pistons, who cares what team it is? A win is a win. I thought the offense ran smoother with kirk in. He didn't get 9 assists by mistake... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Teague has earned his starting spot but, as I'm sure is the point of this thread, it's good to have another guy that we can depend on in closing situations in case of injury or if Timid Teague rears his head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkshomer Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Its nice to see Kirk moving around, looking for the ball and getting guys in position. Setting off ball screens and the like, trying to be intense on D. He needs to get in game shape though (says the fat guy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 What?! LOL. Kirk isn't a point guard first of all. Kirk is a pg 100% He played pg and well but then chi got rose so he had to play sg, which he is worse at, which reduced his stock...then at wash they got wall so he had to play sg, keeping his stock low so we could steal him last year Then he got hurt and Teague shined so he is unlucky again and his stock will stay low He is much more effective at pg than sg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Kirk is effective at PG, running the offense setting up guys and hitting timely shots. As a SG he is effective guarding most shooting guards, plays off the ball effectively and can score if called upon to do so. Either way its a good thing for the Hawks.

We do not need a scoring PG, we need a PG that can set our other guys up. Kirk should play SG and Pargo should be put in as point guard to keep our pace fast and steady. Why? Kirk is not a primary scorer. Putting Pargo at the point and Hinrich at the 2 defeats the purpose of Hinrich being on the floor altogether. plus I think he can be more effective as an offensive option on the second team with TMAC. Kirk is a much better shooter with his feet set and shoulders facing the basket. Run him off picks and let him rain jumpers! That's how other coaches have used him in the past. Again, Kirk is not a scorer, he is a defender and a set up man. Sure he can hit the spot up threes, but scoring isn't his main asset. Kirk can set Joe, Josh and Marvin up a lot better than Teague can... also has more experience. I'm not saying abandon Teague all together, still give him 20 minutes a night, but Kirk needs to be starting. Don't even dare say Teague is a better defender either.
