What's going on with Ferguson?

So much talent in Atlanta...add another very high draft pick this offseason and they should be really to contend in 2-3 years.

I’m ready for shai to find his three point shot again.

Gallo is healthy, playing REALLY well this season but...looks like no team is willing to pull the trigger for him

I love CP3 but it's nice to see SGA handling the ball as well.

Dort is so much better than Ferguson

Not yet but he will be. I'd rather start Dort over Ferguson to develop him.

up 22 and Donovan playing the starters...really smart considering we are playing tomorrow night @ Minny

Great team performance. Shooting almost 60% from the floor and 56% from 3...Gallo and our 3 guards played really well. Defense was very bad at times though.

Hawks are interesting. Like the process era sixers 2.0. could be pretty exciting in a couple years if they can get Young some help.

I agree. A player like Adams would help them so much.

They hit some crazy shots on the first 2 1/2 quarters and we matched them every time. When they cooled off, we stayed hot by shooting 58% and 56% from three for the game. Not sustainable but fun to watch.

Shai only took 3 shots outside the paint last night. Two of them were his early three point attempts and the other was just outside of it. Atlanta's defense was very porous so its good that he took what was given. He is doing a better job getting to the line since the season started. He was 10-13 on ft last night. Rebounding has improved as well. I don't think his lack of play making is as bad as some initially thought, but prone to some silly turnovers. He had 6 assists last night.

I worry about him being a little too reliant on driving to the basket against better defenses. He's clearly not a bad shooter but he's not as comfortable with shots further away from the basket. BTW, was slick was this?

They sure are fun when they go in. (If it hadn't we'd have been like, 'DUDE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!')

I noticed this too. As he's grown more confident getting into the lane he's stopped even looking at threes as much. It's like he read that Zach Lowe write up on his ability to get into the lane and is now feeling himself.

Teams are giving him room like he's DIallo. He's a solid shooter but its almost like he doesn't feel comfortable with the catch and shoot three. Kind of like Melo, he would rather dribble first. I'm sure its something he'll work on in the offseason.
