3-Point Pecentages

Not a small part of why we are struggling.  3's and to's on offense are biggest issues.  

Defense has a host of issues primarily related to the wings right now.

Best 3/D trade possibility?

We need to trade for a couple outside shooters please.

Re-cue the Rudy Gay talk. Injury and all...

[Peoriabird]

That's it...All the Hawks need to do is place their orders for more shooting!   Problem solved!  Lol!

@hazer  Or maybe we just stop taking sooooo many baaaad 3s.

Anywho.......I can only think of Jared Dudley off hand. Maybe Allen Crabbe.  We can send them Baze, they need 'defense'

That's essentially Bud's offense!

We need to see less one pass and shot 3's on the perimeter, but too many threes that have to be made (corner and threes off of attention in which the ball was passed out) are simply not being made. Muscala missed one after the Knicks showed a soft double last night, Sefolosha missed a corner three, and Korver missed a three he used to make every time...

...are abysmal.  Not surprised though, there's only one pure shooter on the team who has to be assisted at all times.  The only time Baze can hit one is in the second half if he's trailing a fast break on the wing and he's in perfect rhythm after eating turkey bacon that morning, putting his left shoe on first with 3/4ths of the crowd standing.  Then he may hit one.

Dennis precipitous drop from around .400 isn't news either and Sap's three point makes have always been a premium.  I am glad Dwight hasn't attempted a single one this year though.  It wasn't clear if he was speaking tongue-in-cheek about it this summer but nice to see Bud hasn't totally lost it.

It's seems to be a down year for the league though.  The Top 10 and 20 in percentage is littered with low usage bums like when Jason Kapono led the league for a few years.  KD and Steph just tip-toed over .400 last night.  Hopefully the average shot distance in the league shortens a bit.  Just let the Rockets be the zany outlier.

RJ Hunter is available. Chicago just released him.  C'mon Hawks, lets bring the GSU star home and let him be the heir apparent to Korver.

This has to come as a shock to Muscala and Bazemore, they probably thought of themselves as elite pure shooters.

Well, Moose is shooting .439 from 3.  But yea, Baze has been disappointing so far.  We can only hope that he is going through a slump and will turn it around soon.

Believe that is what most of us are hoping other teams are thinking. Lets make a deal. Anybody?
