What difference do you see in this team from last season. Yeah, there are a few new faces, but this is the same stale-no producing offense that hawks put on the floor last season.
This was suppose to be the season that the Hawks stepped up there game and started the season where they lefted off last season.
But everyone went home over the offseason and found themselves a jump-shot. Everyone wants to shoot from 18ft and beyond. I think I even saw Mike Woodson spot up in the corner behind the 3-pt line.
Anyone who has played organized basketball, knows that basketball is not a complex game. It can be easily taught and understood. But the Hawks haven't grasp the fundamental concepts of this game called "Basketball". The object of the game is to get your team or teammates in the best position for a easy score or shot.
1. Take Care of the Ball (No Turn-overs) ( Give the damn ball up J-Smoove after you rebound).
2. Set Solid legal Screens ( ZaaZaa stay stationary)
3. Rebounding (Crash the Boards) ( All Big Men get in positon for a rebound, box-out, then get the ball)
4.Defense Stop the Man with the Ball when on Defense ( no one should ever take the ball the length of the floor
5. STOP TAKING JUMP SHOTS WITH NO ONE UNDERNEATH TO GET A DAMN REBOUND!!!!!!!!!!
6. Share the Ball... ( Joe, Josh give the ball up before 6 sec. left on the damn shot clock)
7. Play Smart, Play with Confidense
8. Know when you are not on your game ( When you are not scoring do other things like rebound, loose balls, set solid screens, be a positive force on the floor)
9. Situational Basket Ball
10. Always finish Strong!!!!!!!!!
But, this is all in vain, if you don't have a Strong Minded Coach on your bench...
Need I say more...
