hawks21 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) The Hawks are giving up way too many points, and it isn't ALL Kyle Korver's fault, but his matchup against Paul George or Gerald Green is a terrible matchup. Dahntay is not a great shooter, but we need a more physical defender on the court AT ALL TIMES. Tolliver is a better shooter, and would be anohther option who should be getting more minutes. Several weeks ago Drew said after a game at postgame conference, this team isn't going to outscore most teams, and defense will have to be a priority. Hawks are giving up mearly 60 points by halftime and over 100...something has to change and it begins with BENCHING KYLE KORVER.

swolehawk2 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Korver needs to be moved to the 2 and Ivan needs to start at the 4, with Smoove at the 3. Thats our best chance. Then you have a bench of Devin, Deshawn, Petro, Tolliver. This is our best chance at winning a game with our injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameTime Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Completely agree. Putting Josh on him gets him in foul trouble and George is running rampant on Korver. We need a player who is not afraid to get down and dirty on George if we want to have a chance to win this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Drew lied - asked before the playoffs what do the Hawks need to do to beat Indy, he said If we execute offensively. Nothing about defense and rebounding. The Hawks are giving up way too many points, and it isn't ALL Kyle Korver's fault, but his matchup against Paul George or Gerald Green is a terrible matchup. Dahntay is not a great shooter, but we need a more physical defender on the court AT ALL TIMES. Tolliver is a better shooter, and would be anohther option who should be getting more minutes.

Premium Member Peoriabird Posted April 25, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 He has been a liability all season long... something I pointed out in the Korver appreciation thread a while back..He is a bench player at best and doesn't deserve more than 4 million per year.

This game is going to have to get DIRTY and Kyle Korver isn't going to stop Gerald Green or Paul George == period... Dahntay Jones style of play defensively vs. Kobe a few weeks ago is what this team needs NOW. Paul George is too comfortable and if Kyle is left on the floor guarding WHOEVER for 30 minutes a game, it is not going to bode well even in a home game in ATLANTA.

Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted April 25, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I miss the Duck. Korver is great for the regular season, but stinks in the playoffs. Not starter material, as I've said before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And make those fouls HURT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swolehawk2 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 So Smoove can get in foul trouble?He is in foul trouble anyway. At least this way Ivan and Josh can take turns defending and share some fouls. Do you realize that Devin started this game defending George? Having Josh/Ivan defend George/West is our only chance.

Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted April 25, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 We don't really have a chance. Best case scenario they win in 5. We can't win with a coach who goes 10-deep and uses a lineup of Harris-Stevenson-Jones-IVAN-Petro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can at least win a damn quarter. You can't tell me Indiana is this good. Putting Devin on Paul George is just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plainview1981 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 What team has ever benched Kyle Korver? I was saying there is a reason he comes off the bench rather than starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is not played in a pineapple under the sea, Duck would not save us in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
