Why the Hawks were overrated.......

[atlhawks1]

And this is NOT a negative knock on the team. They still deserve credit for what they have done. At the end of the day, its STILL about talent. What they have proved is that the Spurs system can take average players, and make them great as a UNIT. People think Kyle Korver and the Hawks outside shooting has suddenly gone bad. Nope, ill tell you what it is:

 

MOST nba players are the same lazy dudes on the playground who dont wanna play defense. Thats INCLUDING Lebron James. Lebron himself downplayed the Hawk blowouts of the Cavaliers during the regular season for that very reason. During the regular season, teams barely cared to run thru 3 or 4 Hawk screens just to stop Kyle Korver. The few games that teams DID care, they beat the Hawks. It goes back to balance on the boards and in the paint, the two things the Hawks sorely lack. When your post game is Teague and Schröder drives to the basket, you are in trouble, and thats exactly what was happening last night. Teague and Schröder were getting their layups thrown back in their faces.

 

The Hawk have to remedy this one or two ways: Get more scoring from the post ( Moose, Scott, draft, free agent), or get a wing player who can get his own shots, even with a hand in his face. Somebody who can put the ball on the floor. Reggie Miller and crew KEPT pointing out the fact in a not disrespectful way, that Korver is garbage if he cant catch and shoot. Anyway, if the Hawks cant get out on the fast break because of turnovers, OR, have a crisp offensive possession where they out pass the defense, they struggle.

 

They got to improve their talent. Running Korver, Pero, etc. out there next year is not gonna get it. On a side note,if the Hawks stay the status quo by preferring big men who can shoot, but not play the post, at least get one who can score consistently ( kaminsky out of wisconsin), over the inconsistent pero Antić.
