The three point attempts are just field goal attempts, same as two point attempts. <br /><br />Also I agree about what Hinrich brings to the table defensively. His conditioning is only going to get better and while he's far from an elite shot creator, he's usually a capable distributor. I think the turnovers are a little bit of an aberration. He's been at about 2.0 turnovers/36 min for his career when he's not the primary ball handler/distributor as is the case now. I think the current 2.7 figure will regress back to the mean with better conditioning.Paraghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101888425096847464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-77897518854094407702012-02-08T10:23:45.001-05:002012-02-08T10:23:45.001-05:00K --

If making 14% of his shots truly was "pretty typical" he wouldn't be in the league even though he pulls off the trick of being simultaneously "worthless" and "valuable in a trade."<br /><br />I get that it's tiring to reiterate how the Joe Johnson signing, Al Horford's injury, and Josh Smith's peculiarities define and limit this team but blaming a bad loss and the onset of reality on the backup point guard who plays good defense strains credulity.Bret LaGreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000566742639583055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-33099510524810530352012-02-08T09:55:24.227-05:002012-02-08T09:55:24.227-05:00How does Kirk deserve a 6?

He led the team in turnovers, and if I remember correctly, they were pretty careless turnovers. He also shot 14% (1/5 FG, 0/2 3PT) from the field. Albeit, he is coming back from injury, but this is pretty typical stuff from him. I have never understood why Hawks fans think he is still a valuable player. He is a middle of the road veteran player, who lacks a lot of athleticism. I have always believed that he isn't the right fit for the Hawks team and he continues to prove this. If there is anyone on the team who could be valuable in a trade and worth the Hawks getting rid of, it is Kirk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-72285810649193639772012-02-07T00:40:54.566-05:002012-02-07T00:40:54.566-05:00Wesley I must admit I was bedazzled by Vlad's ...Wesley I must admit I was bedazzled by Vlad's few hot shooting games in the early season and didn't have a problem with him getting minutes. But as the season has worn on it's become clear that he's a major liability on the floor.<br /><br />What is it with Larry Drew? You take away Josh Powell, take away Mike Bibby, Jason Collins gets hurt and he still finds a way to funnel minutes to the worst available option.Buddy Grizzardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922712364080112515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-52892158890048002772012-02-06T23:31:34.522-05:002012-02-06T23:31:34.522-05:00I think it's finally time to declare this is a...I think it's finally time to declare this is a poorly built team. And old bench each possessing few skills (one of them being the ability to jack up midrange shots), lack of competent centers, a disinterested semi-star, an overpaid semi-star, among other glaring weaknesses. In this situation, on-court X's and O's take a backseat and management squarely takes the blame for a weakly put-together team.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439219114465772981noreply@blogger.com
