I been caught up with football all day I forgot about this game. We seriously lost by 44? Smh 
I don't wanna hear anymore "it's early" or "give it time" or "it's just a slump". This right here is early 2000's Hawks during the Jason Terry/Shareef years. These guys have just looked uninterested lately and the chemistry is way off.
Dwight is our new Shareef. A stat player who can't do shyt

What do the Atlanta Hawks need to do to fix their struggling starting unit?

For a majority of the season, the Hawks starting unit has logged one of the least impressive net ratings across the league. Despite losses in their last several games, the net rating is moving in a positive direction. Still the Hawks starting units have a league worst net rating per NBA.com of -1.0. Additionally, the normal starting unit of Schroder, Korver, Bazemore, Millsap and Howard have a net rating of -2.3, the worst across the league for any group of regular starters and the 2nd worst for any five man line-up averaging 12 minutes per game or more.
In terms of why this is happening, at a high level my assessment based upon what I am seeing is that the team is struggling to settle upon a healthy and repeatable distribution of offensive responsibility. Keep in mind that offensive responsibility does not equal shot volume, although it does make up an important part of it.
In Coach Budenholzer’s first three years leading the Hawks, the team had a pretty natural distribution of offensive responsibility. The offense was/is designed for the open player to take the shot, but in terms of who did what within the scheme was very clear. Jeff Teague handled a large majority of the offensive initiation, the wings would serve as spacers or cutters as needed, Horford and Millsap would primarily serve as the screener in pick and roll action. Secondary actions were typically very intuitive for the group as well.
In moving on from Horford and Teague for Howard and Schroder, the team attrited a pretty significant amount of offensive skill. Howard is significantly less skilled than Horford (although he brings other strengths to the team) and Schroder skill set at this point is less developed than is Teague’s. Thus, the distribution of offensive responsibility has to be adjusted with this group. Let’s take a look at that one player at a time.
