PROBLEMS? We've all got problems.

TANK! We all knew, before the season began, this was to be a rebuilding year for the Atlanta Hawks.
None of us, even the most optimistic, like me, expected great things out of this team. However, we
did not expect to lose every night we played. What is the problem, or problems with our team?
1- We hear and we believe, that our starting center is doing well, Dedmon has exceeded expectations.
2- Rookie Collins has improved. He just keeps on getting better and better.
3- PF - Collins is the answer, but he's been back up center. We knew we would miss Millsap here. (And we do)
4- SF - Prince continues to improve and impress and as become a leader in his second year.
5- SG - Bazemore can be good at times, tries too hard, perhaps, but can play great defense. Will steal.
6- PG - Dennis runs hot and cold. When he's hot, he's hot and when he's not he tries to be anyway.
Every game this team plays, they somehow manage to keep the score close. If they fall behind early, they
will and do fight back and catch up with most any opponent. How many teams can brag, "We blew away
the lowly Hawks!" Hasn't happened too often, has it.
As we look over our team, almost every player we see, we can say, "He's improved since the season started."
Yet, our early season road games were so close, but no wins. Now, our games are all so close, yet no wins.
This team plays hard. They don't seem to ever give up until the very end.
In our last win, everything went right. Hawks played good defense and their shots fell. That proved that they
are capable. But, coming up so close, time after time, only to taste defeat, is getting old. What is the problem?
This Hawk team ain't great. We all know that. But, they are good and improving.
