ATL…overly
They'll be fine bruh. They're just adjusting to new offense philosophies.

Team still has alotta issues with 1. turnovers (Hawks are one of the worst turnover teams in the league...that stems from inconsistent PG play) 2. subpar wing play (Korver, Baze are undersized and overmatched on a nightly basis). But these guys look bad...i think it's a deeper issue than just the offensive philosophy

It hurts to say this but something is up with this team and I'm not sure there is even a "basketball" fix for it...

Dwight, Baze, and Dennis seem to be on different pages out there.

1. Dwight only job should be to keep Drummond out the paint and rebound. No passes should be going into the paint to Dwight unless there is a lob opportunity (ala Deandre Jordan). And Dwight looks like he’s half-assing it on the defensive end.

2. Baze is playing wayyy outside of his role and ability. I don’t know who gave him the greenlight to do what he is doing but he is giving one hell of a Josh Smith impression right now.

3. Dennis don’t look like he trust anyone on the team to make a shot and he and Dwight is not on the same page.
