Kimsey Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Starters Bibby 2.5 ppg and 2 apg Nelson 19.5 ppg and 5.5 apg -17 points and -3.5 assists JJ 14.5 ppg and 4 apg Carter 22 ppg and 2.5 apg -7.5 points and +1.5 assists MW 8.5 ppg and 7.5 rpg Barnes 4 ppg and 4 rpg +4.5 points and +3.5 rebounds JS 16 ppg and 6 rpg Lewis 14.5 ppg and 5.5 rpg +1.5 points and +.5 rebounds Al 14 ppg and 8 rpg Howard 25 ppg and 14.5 rpg -11 points and -6.5 rebounds Sixth men Craw 14 ppg and 2.5 apg Peaches 10.5 and 1.5 apg +3.5 points and +1 assists As one may see it's pretty cut and dry why they are struggling so bad. The combo of Nelson and Carter combine for 24.5 points MORE than Joe and Bibby. You could cut out Carter all together and Nelson alone out scores the dynamic atlanta duo.......... Woody's option 1a and 1b, huh?!?.... Bibby puts out 2 and 2 but Teague has to wait until summer ti... Positions 3-6 is pretty much a wash, thank you.

Wurider05 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I am glad that you pointed that out. People love to complain about Marvin, Smoove, and Al but a majority of of losses come out of the backcourt being outscored. Look at the Bucks series. We rarely get totally outplayed by the opposing teams frontcourt. Not saying that it never happens but more often than not its the backcourt.

TheTruth Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hard to really evaluate head-to-head since so much of the time is spent switching. For example, a lot of times Bibby was switched onto Barnes, or Marvin on Howard. Your overall point is clear though, our backcourt ain't getting the job done...and they are perhaps the most important part of this series.
