Interesting. I kind of like what Pierce put together last night

Trae / Heurt / Prince / Collins / Ded

Lin / Baze / Bembry / Spell / Len

I also think we need to get Prince right. Maybe coming off the bench a game or two would have a similar effect on Prince as it did on Baze.

I think Trae needs another facilitator / scorer to play with and up to now Baze / Prince been struggling with that

Great game last night.
Excellent block with seconds left to to seal it for us.
Refs could have easily blown the whistle just because.

Go Hawks!!!

I've heard a few fans here speculate that Huerter has the size to play SF.

I'D be okay keeping Bazemore at SG and playing KH at the 3.

Or would that be putting too much on the rookie too soon?

I feel like having a size advantage over 2s is a big part of why he's doing so well but you never know till you try it. Not sure he has the strength for some of the better 3s in the league. Which was Baze's problem too. I'm a fan of playing the best players you have though within reasonable position matchups. I'm really optimistic that Huerter is a real starter eventually.

I like Baze off the bench. He has really good impact with the 2nd unit. Great team win but we should have held that double digit lead but young teams struggle with closing games

8-)

Tonight, Hawks again. This time it's at their house and they want revenge and we want a 3 game winning streak..
4th quarter sleepwalk almost cost us last night. Can't do that tonight. Also, tighten up the onset.

GO ATL HAWKS !!

:D

Return to Atlanta Hawks
