Kyle Korver is a defensive liability vs. Pacers and needs to be replaced by Tolliver or Dahntay Jones

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.

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.

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.

So Smoove can get in foul trouble?

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.

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.

Make George work for those points. And make those fouls HURT.

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.

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...

This team can be competitive with my suggested rotation and keeping three starters on the floor at all times. 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.

Now we figure out why other teams bench Kyle Korver.

miss the Duck. Korver is great for the regular season, but stinks in the playoffs. Not starter material, as I've said before...

This game is not played in a pineapple under the sea, Duck would not save us in the least.
