I went on a long (for a comment board) analytic about how we don't match up with the Magic and can't do what we do, too, in addition to not rising to the challenge. To be honest they would be a model team for the Hawks because they have similar athletic ability and length across the board, especially with their big guards...it's just that they are better-coached and have a monster in the middle.

They are just like the Hawks only better. So while I hoped for better, as I'm sure we all did, I'm coming out of this kind of thinking that I'm interested in seeing what we do with Cleveland, Phoenix, San Antonio, Dallas, Denver again--because I suspect that the Hawks are still a top 5 team who happens to not be in the same class as the Magic and LA. But I also suspect that no one else is in their class either.

rbubp,

That's the question--he's always quick to point out when it doesn't happen, but loads up the minutes on players who like to go 1 on 1 and he centers an offensive "philosophy" around it.

It's worked fine so far as the team has been aggressive towards the hoop. Last night, that didn't happen and my theory has always been that good team (like those we'll see in the second round and higher in the playoffs) are going to have defenses like this and our style of play has not scaled to that height.

The question is whether Woodson will correct the ball movement issue, because I don't think is very worried about it.
