Premium Member Diesel Posted May 9, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 And it not that I don't think he can hit a three pointer, it's just so much wasted ability. Moreover, our rebounding sucks because he's on the perimeter. I applauded Kris Humphries. The dude was one guy with 4 jersey around him and he's ripping down rebounds. While Cowardly Horf is standing on the three point line with his hands out. What Free agent is going to help us on the boards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewsFromTheSquawk Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Zaza is the only one who would help. Maybe Ezeli but he could be looking at a nice pay raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on if we are looking for Horford's replacement or Horford's back up... if we bring him Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted May 9, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I actually agree with D. We need a low post player to create spacing and can actually GASP offensively rebound as needed. Having Horford at the three point line kills that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescout5 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 How about Noah of the Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted May 9, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Noah has zero offensive game and looked completely broken down last season. I want no part of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I was on the Al Jefferson bandwagon 3 years ago, no one wanted any part of that dude. Al will keep shooting jumpers, and might improve to be a 37% shooter from 3. Also keep in mind that it's the coach that wants Al shooting the 3. Al is simply doing what he is asked to do.

It's not that Al is coached to shoot threes, it's that even when Al is in position to get a defensive rebound, he doesn't. Watching these second chance points pile up is blasphemous. Plain and simple. Where's the rebounding? Where's the effort?? Did Coach Bud take the effort from Al too? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I believe he has been a poor rebounder this season.. but i haven't looked at his numbers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDog90 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Get Bismack Biyumbo. 48 minutes ago, pimp said: Depends on if we are looking for Horford's replacement or Horford's back up... if we bring him Back. I agree. If he returns, you got a healthy Splitter. I'd love for ATL to cut Scott and have Hump back up Millsap. If Horford leaves, I wouldn't mind starting Kris at center and having Splitter back him up and give Tavares Muscula's minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimsey Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 He had one more rebound(14) than 3 point attempt(13) for the series, Making an NBA 3 pointer for a backcourt player must feel like a drug because it makes guys do odd things coughs#smoove.

Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted May 9, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Same here... Time to move and either get D12 (then scorer later) or start Splitter and go after a scorer... I really do think we have a chance at Durant IMHO. We have a lot of great pieces to put around him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wether Al is back or not the weakest front court player is Moose. Keep Humph over him. At least Scott can score and help win some games (his improved defense still bites though). Feels like we would survive with Tiago, Humph and Edy in the middle as you said. Find that alpha dog for the swing player. Biyumbo can really rebound so that is a good thought.

Actually, Scott is one of our better Others... I think he just needs floor time. I like Hump too, he takes the problem child out of our rebounding. The real question is what will we get with Splitter. All signs point to the fact that Splitter may have been the biggest mistake of this regime. He has to come in and show that he can help our rebounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Just wanted to say that even though I've been railing on Al, he along with Sap and Playoff Teague of past he is one of my favorite Hawks. That being said they all have serious flaws considering they are Allstars. Right now nothing should be set in stone with them even though Bud just really, really, really loves this group.

I have to agree here. Giving Horf 100 Million dollars to be a stretch PF is not the smartest thing in the world for us. I think Sap is the one we should roll with into the future but we need help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Biyombo is a great get if we had like a Durant and Westbrook but he makes Thabo look like Harden on offense. He's a terrible fit offensively to justify him. Humphries is more intriguing as a starter and he's no starter for any NBA team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely the guy I want coming in behind Sap. The real question is what can Splitter bring?? Everything rests on that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
