It could be it's something of a self-fulfilling prophecy (much like the pace slowing in the playoffs) that's not unique to the Hawks though they may suffer from a slow pace more than most teams.Bret LaGreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000566742639583055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-41741181596672933142010-01-02T11:41:17.675-05:002010-01-02T11:41:17.675-05:00right on the money Bret. how there was no one ther...right on the money Bret. how there was no one there to challenge shots at the rim against nate was really puzzling. I mean, wasn't Jared Jeffries, maybe the worst offensive player in the League, on the floor during all of crunch time? whoever was covering him should have been running to nate as soon as he started making a move to the bucket. have to make someone else beat you in those sports, and the hawks repeatedly failed to make the necessary adjustments.<br /><br />Now for offense, whatever happened to us when they went zone needs to remedied quickly. Give the Knicks credit for adjusting their D, but the Hawks are good enough on offense where they should be able to figure out how to get what they want against a zone after seeing it for a couple of possessions. <br /><br />Bret, one last thing, but do you have pace, possession, and offensive stats for the Hawks in the fourth quarter as compared to the first three for the season? I feel like the hawks seemingly refuse to push the ball in the fourth quarter, and I would like to see if this has an effect on their efficiency in the fourth. Thanks for everything on the blog, you do a terrific job.weemsildinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363960898825201164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-56360816761862820312010-01-02T08:15:10.587-05:002010-01-02T08:15:10.587-05:00Bret, what do you think will finally make Woodson ...Bret, what do you think will finally make Woodson change his 4th quarter tactics, that is if he ever does at all? At times last night during the 4th quarter and OT I wandered why ATL even sent all 5 players to play offense. The other 4 (outside of Johnson) would have been better used to stay on the defensive end to make sure they were ready when the Knicks inevitably rebounded Johnson's misses.James Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02459413005372050374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-32909269186455028892010-01-02T08:11:59.806-05:002010-01-02T08:11:59.806-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373236717850677492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-4324655587772154372010-01-02T02:00:57.797-05:002010-01-02T02:00:57.797-05:00"The Atlanta Hawks are the only team that wou..."The Atlanta Hawks are the only team that wouldn't know how to defend Joe Johnson."<br /><br />That almost made me fall out of my chair laughing.CoCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580418511916359036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-45352011170258676882010-01-01T23:59:04.619-05:002010-01-01T23:59:04.619-05:00great point about us not being able to defend an i...great point about us not being able to defend an isolation play. And when I mean a great point - i mean a super great point. How you allow another team to defend your bread and butter (and by butter, I mean margarine b/c it's not successful enough to be considered real butter) and yet you can't sniff at it in 17 minutes - well, it's a sad day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838862137960043254noreply@blogger.com
