[QUOTE="Chad Fleck, post: 1694234, member: 748535"] RE: Hawkins There were comments about Hawkins not being effective on the court during his time. Then others taking the completely opposite side. I see it this way: [B]The Good[/B] He was active on the offensive boards and was doing a good job of defense overall, but especially off the ball defense. [B]The Bad[/B] He was not moving the ball well in the flow of the offense last night. He's been kind of prone to shot fakes that are both not good (they don't really look like his shot actually starting) and people probably aren't that worried about him shooting them. Then he puts the ball on the floor for 2 dribbles or so and gets cut off because he really isn't getting around someone who is fleet of foot. This stalls the offensive flow. He just doesn't look very natural on the perimeter a lot of the time. [B]Overall[/B] Two things can be true at once. The game thread is just too brief in comments to fully explain the ideas. That's why it seems so schizophrenic. It's basically a thread of off the cuff tweets because the game is moving fast, as basketball games do. [/QUOTE]
