exodus Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I don't know what possessed Woody to start Smith at the 3 tonight but it was a disaster. The offense was a complete train wreck until the 4th quarter when, sure enough, smith was playing the 4. Woody no Goody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOL_Hawks Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 That befuddled me as well. They really let KG being out effect them in a BAD way if that's actually feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureGreatness Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) 22-11-4-3 smith at the 3 looked fine to me. aint his fault Horford(who people want to play PF so bad) goes 3-12. or that bibby(our starting point gaurd) can't play defense to save his life and only had 2 assist. or that woody changed the lineup. or that joe decides he is gonna go iso and pound the ball WHICH IS THE REAL REASON HAWKS SUCKED ON OFFENSE. but i agree we shouldn't have changed it.

Premium Member Peoriabird Posted March 28, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 22-11-4-3 smith at the 3 looked fine to me. Hope you realize that Smith play the 4 most of the night which is when he scored the majority of his point so no, he wasn't fine at the 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOL_Hawks Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 It really hurts that Horford played so well during the winning streak, and now he's gone down in quality when we need it the most. I don't know what's going on with Horford, but he's gotta step it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO. Edited March 28, 2009 by hoodstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO. LOL that is a horrible analogy. With Smith at the 3 that is one less shooter on the floor which kills spacing. When the hawks start with Mo,Bibby, JJ that gives them 3 legit 3 pt threats to space the floor. Smith can't beat 3s off the dribble as easily as he can beat 4s. He also gets beat routinely off the dribble when he tries to defend the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does matter. When you have a guy at the 3 who is one of the worst jump shooters in the league it kills spacing. Smarten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smarten up. smartin up? does it make that much of a difference? smith is a sf. ITS NOT HIS FAULT WOODY DONT KNOW HOW TO COACH A HALF COURT SET THAT ISNT JUST A ISO WHETHER SMITH IS THE SF OR PF. This off season the hawks are gonna trade marvin imo and move smith to the sf not because they want to but because they want Horford to play the PF. unfortunatley our coach isnt smart.

DJlaysitup Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well honestly it's unfair to judge AH as a PF based on a 1/2 game experiment. My guess is that ownership pressured Woody to do it and Woody set it up to fail. Why go "big" if all you do is shoot Perimeter-jumpers anyway? I don't think Woody's heart was in it and it showed. Our offense was more of a mess than usual tonight. Granted...we did miss a bunch of close-inners. The Hawks are usually out of sync on offense....but we were even farther out of sync tonight.
