Jason, you had me at hello (hello being the title) No one has stumped harder than I for Al to become a focal point in the Hawks offense. Will he have his struggles against some of the bigger teams in the league? Perhaps, but we all know the Knicks front court is absolutely no match for him. The only problem is none of us are in a position to make his teammates realize this. January is a brutal month and they've started it off with a loss to a team they should have beaten. There's no excuse for losing to the Knicks who had just lost to a team that hasn't won 5 games yet. This is why I felt like contract year Joe Johnson might be a bad thing for this team. He's had a few nights already where he has successfully shot the team right out of games. The sadder part is that they're all content in letting him do so.CoCohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03580418511916359036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483919325744857366.post-32289206933281803822010-01-02T15:04:55.150-05:002010-01-02T15:04:55.150-05:00Anonymous and rbubp---you both provide very valid observations and reasons why Rick Sund is waiting to see if this team can improve and take things to the next level before committing any longer to Coach Woodson.THHBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05622741233643856856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483919325744857366.post-7286965944212515202010-01-02T11:50:04.854-05:002010-01-02T11:50:04.854-05:00yeah, you're right on in your comments about our fourth quarter offense. I love watching us play on offense through the first 3 quarters, when everyone is getting involved. Why wouldn't this offense work in the fourth quarter too? If Woodson has any kind of basketball mind at all, adjustments have to be coming, what with three straight blown games by horrible fourth quarter offense. Woody, its time to put up and run some offense through Josh and Al late in the 4th, or its no extension for youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483919325744857366.post-25949290392890015932010-01-02T11:10:41.565-05:002010-01-02T11:10:41.565-05:00Mike Woodson may well be the most strategically inflexible professional coach I have ever seen.rbubpnoreply@blogger.com
