Game Thread: Hawks at Jazz -- 2/1

[IheartTHEhurt]

The more I think about it, the more Lin to Philly is screaming at me.. Perfect to come in to spell Ben

[peoriabird]

I have to be the only one who never wants to see Prince,Bembry or Baze ever handle the damn ball! Or shoot. Or anything....

Our wings are terrible!

I don't think Bembry is terrible , he just isn't an offensive guy.. He can score sometimes but you cannot depend on him.
He is a second unit defender.. period
When played like he should he is a nice piece on the bench

Prince is solid. I think he would be better in a system that on defense allows him to be a risk taker which we can't due to playing Collins and Trae. Prince has been much improved since he came back from his injury. He is no one trying to be the guy, now, he is just playing his role. This is the Prince we been wanting this year when Kevin emerged as that guy.

Bembry is a great army swiss knife but a horrendous starter. We need to move him back to the bench.

Baze was great before the injury and it's only his 2nd game back so I'll give him time.

I am very confident in Baze and Prince shooting. At times, more confident in them than Trae. I have NEVER been confident in Bembry shooting threes. He shoots like Draymond but thinks he shoots like Klay.

Prince still has tunnel vision on offense. Typically when he gets the ball I'm expecting the worst moves short of Will Ferrell. Maybe that's too harsh, but I've just not been overly stoked about him. I think he could do much better on the defensive end and as a spot up shooter, ok.

Baze...glimpses of hope a lot. And if I'm honest he's good when he focused and 'loose.'. He's ok except trying to dribble..lol.

Bembry off the bench I can live with. I just think it Schlenk plays the trade and draft correctly, all three could be minimized....or traded.

Why did I read this in a Chuck Barkley voice the first time..whoa

16 dimes combined for our starting backcourt. Warning: Exciting times ahead.

I think Lin has been already traded. That's why we are barely playing him. He wasn't hurt or nothing. Teams sometimes have deals locked in but are waiting to a certain date to see if they can add more to the deal.

Dedmon on the other hand hasn't moved. I am hearing the Philly interest is real but the Fultz move is going back and fore for Philly. They want more than just Dedmon and Atlanta are refusing to even add an late 2nd rounder. I think it might come down to the end. There are about 5 teams interested in Dedmon but haven't come close to pulling the trigger and indications are Atlanta wants to keep and potentially resign Dedmon.

I would pull the trigger on that trade-in a heartbeat.. Dedmon and a 2nd rounder? Wasn't there a time where Fultz was considered a up and coming player?. With all that said it will be sad to see Dedmon's range go to Philly

Fultz is diseased. I wouldn't personally even give them Dedmon straight up. Just two Justin Anderson and a mid 2nd rounder

Anderson can't be traded back to Philly this year.

I don't think Bembry is terrible , he just isn't an offensive guy.. He can score sometimes but you cannot depend on him.

Bembry has the worse IQ on the team. Dude thinks he can pass and one of the worse passer in the league. Can't run a 3 on 1 break if his life depended on it but always wants to try.

Nope......Bembry is offensively challenged. Tries too hard sometimes but always willing to make the right play (or what he thinks is the right play), his terrible freethrow shooting I think limits his attacks in the paint. He's worried about getting fouled.

There was a practice clip from early in season with Pierce asking Bembry what he was thinking on a fast break. Bembry said he heard the footsteps and didn't want to get his shot blocked. Pierce told him to focus more on making the shot than getting it blocked.

His IQ on defense you can't teach though - I wish Prince was half as good in that aspect.

What's with the Pierce Love affair with Vince Carter??? Carter/Spellman front court against the Jazz??? WTF?
