Offensive Struggles Continue
Posted by: Micah Hart on December 3, 2007 at 9:27PM AFT
The Hawks offensive struggles continued against the Hornets on Friday, and as a result the team fell to 6-9 after the 92-86 defeat. The players called a team meeting on Saturday to address the on-going issues; hopefully they hashed out some of the things that are going wrong and, starting tonight in Philly, will come out showing a renewed commitment to the offensive principles that led to several of their early victories.

Here are a few suggestions towards that end:

- We've got to stop sitting around and watching Joe operate. He is hard for teams to stop with his vast array of offensive maneuvers, but a 1-on-5 offense just makes everything harder.

- Get Al Horford more touches on the blocks. He has shown pretty nice touch on his face-up jumpers, and has a nice little array of hook shots as well. We aren't getting many buckets inside, and it's causing us to rely more more heavily on our perimeter scoring. Going inside more to Al and Zaza would help cure that.

- Speed it up! The more we run, the better we are. Hopefully, when Acie Law gets back, the team will be able to do that more often.
