An interesting look at the past and present of the Hawks offensive philosophies. I can't describe how much more I enjoy this Hawks team than the Iso (Joe, Josh, etc.) iterations.

It was really frustrating watching the Josh/Joe era, because it's such a talented team on paper that it was frustrating watching Josh take so many out-of-rhythm long jumpers, or seeing Joe iso at the top of the key in for floaters, even when they went in.

Like, it you just look at the talent, that was a great team. Joe Johnson was just so smooth all-around, Josh had such easy athleticism and ability to finish inside, Al being Al, Bibby with that easy outside stroke, even Marvin with his swiss-army ability. That team should have done much more than it did.

Agreed. Those teams are easily the most talented Hawks teams I watched over the last 20 years, but they were wrecked by a poor offensive system, bad coaching and a serious lack of chemistry on and off the court.

Joe shooting off of one dribble was a rarity in Atlanta.
