Pachulia to Joe (Smith)

They threw him out of the game mighty quick though. The refs knew that if they got Zaza out of the game, that we virtually had no center, due to Horford's injury.

Over his last 10 games he is shooting 36%. He is a turnover machine that doesn't play D or get defensive rebounds.

But if you look at the last seven games, his line looks like this.

4.2 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 50% FG, 1.0 TOPG, 0.8 SPG, in less than 13 MPG.

What more do you expect in 13 minutes per game? In the last 2 weeks, he has finally starting playing decently again.

The problem is that the Hawks aren't paying him for a handful of decent games and a multitude of crap games. Shooting 50% so far this month doesn't offset the fact that he shot 22% last month. Given that he can't defend the rim at all and is weak on the defensive glass his poor shooting and excessive fouls/turnovers are all the more painful.
