runs back down the court after taking a shot.  I absolutely hate it.

Would you rather he celebrated all the way down the court and acted a fool like Scurry? You’re blaming a guy for his hair? Ok.  That is concrete basketball evaluation, fantastic analysis.

It's not the years, it's his size limitations and his deeply ingrained habits. He also has not shown much interest in playing off the ball. Supes is probably right in that the best thing for him is an elite center which would open room for his floater, which is his best shot. 

So to answer my question yes a 4th year player can improve those things. He may never be elite, but he can improve to more than serviceable

His long twos are his best shot, he just doesn't shoot them as much as he wa early in the season and thats the shot he probably should go to late to close out games like cp3 does.

If we get to 10 games below .500 our playoff odds fall below 10%.

Really? Ok I’ll take your word for it. And no, I’m not putting my avatar on the line, you have a weird sorcery with numbers 

Having said that, I still think we pick it up starting today. If not today, MLK day.

The thing is we have to play so hard just to get a win. When aren't playing hard we get blown out. Good teams have easy peasy wire to wire wins, we never have those.

Ok I’m moving in to today’s thread. Im done with last night’s game. We fought though, we can build on that tonight.

That Luka trade will haunt Atlanta if changes aren't made.

They havent had a top draft pick since Luka, and theyre still a better team than us with years of tanking and numerous top 10 picks......And the guy they traded most of their picks for isnt even playing.... smh

Schlenking....

We are seven games below .500. That is really bad. If we get to 10 games below .500 our playoff odds fall below 10%. I don't know what the answer is, but this season has been a monumental disappointed.

Even if we get to .500 thats the 10th spot right now...

You predicted we would be bad so why you so upset?

So a 4th year player doesn't have a ton of room for growth?

Because Im a Hawks fan... Ive been wrong plenty of times... lol

Well if you put negativity out there you get it.  

I mean I have gone negative in these threads and got the lost I predicted.  Didn't like that one bit.  Thought I'd reverse jinx us to a win.

His best shot is open ones. That's when he's at his best. He rarely misses open shots
