Last shot to DMC? My goodness...

[NBASupes]

Dennis should have took it to the rack to score.

He should have dunked it from the FT line. Big mistake by the kid there. 

[Packfill]

Am I missing something or are the Hawks playing a bunch of veterans 35+ minutes in a preseason game?

[BrazilianHawk]

Meh win. The porous defense on the second half is starting to bother me some.

They have one preseason game left - chances are they won't play much in that one. This is the most they've played.

Hawks "Win"!

I'm beginning to conclude that Thabo is better than DMC

[Gray Mule]

Hornets radio announcer said that four of their potential five starters

were out, yet it took Atlanta Hawks an overtime period to win - - 117-114.

 

Rebounding and second half defense continues to be a concern.

 

GO ATL !

[Guest]

Hawks had 42 freethrow attempts :-0. Is that a record for Hawks?

Out rebounded by 12 - Gary Neal with 9??? :-(

Thabo is better than DMC like Dennis is more talented and a true PG than Jeff. DMC still should start but Thabo will take his spot but the 15th game. Jeff needs to be traded by ASG. Even more than Sap needs to be traded. Dennis has made Jeff expendable.

I had no idea that Thabo was this kind of rebounder!  Definitely plays a more controlled smarter game than DMC.  And there is no comparison on offense!  Thabo>>>>>DMC on offense

He has always been a better defensive player than DMC but offensively in OKC, he was trash. For the Hawks, he is solid on offense and his rebounding is heavily needed. DMC is a junkyard player. Thabo is made for our system. Controlled, athletic, can play off the ball, can rebound and can defend. Like Korver, this system makes him a much better player.

DMC is kinda a disaster on offense...Can't put the ball on the floor and make moves.  Also struggles to finish around the rim.  No mid-range game to speak of.  Thabo on the other had is smooth around the basket and can put the ball on the floor.  The offense is garbage in OKC....Almost all iso using Westbrook and Durant.  Thabo was only asked to be a spot up shooter in a very disjointed system.

Let's wait until he does something in a real game before we start making these types of claims.

[BrazilianHawk]

Well, Thabo does get paid more money than DMC, so he should be better. Fortunately that appears to be the case; If so, our starting lineup would be upgraded at SF and C. Not bad at all.
