re: ATL 87 NO 79 - Final - Hornets/Hawks game thread

I never like these kind of games, where CP3 is a scorer before a passer. 10 points and only 1 assist so far.

there are to many headbands on the court this year. i use to be able to tell JuJu was on the court because of the head band. now posey, brown and ju...

adda boy Paul.

Now they just gotta get other people involved on the offense, and actually play some defense.

one of the best means top ten, and it truly is. look at their starters dude. dont be ignorant here.

they are one of the sloppiest teams, if not for Johnson no one would make any shots between the paint and the arc. They also play in the shitty east, Im sure their offensive stats are high.

I am not worried about he Hornets catching up, they can certainly score the points. I am more worried about the Hornets actually playing defense and making stops, stops other than the Hawks just dribbling it out of bounds.

I was just about to say what a great way to end the half then Bibby hits a 3 with 1 second left

ETA: Wide open

I dont see how "good" an "solid" equate to top 10, maybe statistically like say against inferior competition yes, but come on, they are clearly not at that level yet.

well johnson is a star and one of the top 5 shooting guards in the league, and josh smith is a top 5 defender and athlete. the rest are solid starters. not that many teams can say their starting 5 is that good.

Johnson is fricking sick, if only Smith could actually develop some offensive game that team would get over the cliche hurdle. Smith is good on defense, but he often gets matched up against taller/more physical post players who tend to dominate him, despite his aerial prowess.

Smith and Williams if only they could become more well rounded on offense and not rely on athleticism alone that team would actually become a threat.
