Well if we actually played any defense it would come down a bit.

very good point. its easy to shoot for a good percentage when the defense doesnt pressure you

The sad thing is the Hawks are probably the most offensively challenged team in the league.

yeah, last night it was the 76ers, couple nights ago the same was said about the Hornets....some people just need to give it a rest with overreacting.
I'm far from happy with our D at the moment, but calling every team we hate "the worst offensive team" when they score is just pointless.

I didn't call any other team the worst offensive team and you are the one who is overreacting.

Not zero sum-melo he never hustles.

Ask yourself why melo is guarding korver a straight catch and shoot player. But yeah a great hustle play....

I don't. He always gets his but almosts never facilitates for others or plays shutdown defense on the other team's best wing.

Actually if you are watching the game he rotated to Korver. JR is guarding Korver. Melo has been on Smith and Ivan when he has played the 4 and Stevenson when he is at the 3.
