Pre and Post all star offensive number are pretty compelling but I don't watch any Atlanta games.

Hes played very well his last 3 games--theyve given him more work and hes rolled with it.
One thing people have to remember is that Grant and thj=same age.

And yet I still feel like Grant is scratching the surface. Big body for a PG who can move his feet defensively. His game has changed since the beginning of the year and I hope it's headed in the right direction.

Dude actually did a heat check 3. Can't wait til after the summer for both he and KP.

Grant post-AS numbers look pretty good too. If only he was getting minutes but I guess sometimes I fail to understand the complexities of Philbis' developmental process

Just imagine how amped up KP would be if his buddy Willy comes over to work out with him. Also adding Wroten to the mix will make it very interesting indeed. I really look forward to this summer and next season. I'm not the least bit down on this team given the things we have to look forward to in terms of development and Free Agency.

Timmy can score..... he can't do anything else. He's defense is horrible too. Atlanta has a need for a shooting guard and still refused to play him. I say Atlanta took a stand the same way we're trying to do with our players.

The assists are low but so are the turnovers. I don't think that rebound rate is much lower than an average SGs. Afflalo is paid six times as much as TH JR.

What Atlanta did was for THJ to become a basketball player. Sometime you have to break a player to mold him into something useful. Phil did that for years when he was a coach. I hate to say this but Next town Larry Brown tried to do the same with Marbury. Some player don't want to conform. In THJ's case he had no choice.

I was really down on THJr. Im still not a buyer. He can shoot it. Def prefer Grant and his upside. Good for Timmy he's cracking the rotation.

Phil is trying to instill that culture into the franchise. The media say that's what they want and when it happens they flip it to circulate more bad juju. I'm loving what's being built. I wish fans would realize what's happening. Real will recognize real. We will get back to the playoffs and beyond if we stay the course

It's just sad he has to play in the triangle under the dumbest coach in the league

atlanta has a much more wide open and simpler offense. I am sure that helps.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Said it before.... TH > JG. Specially on a team/system that needs three point shooting.

How can you come to such a solution when Grant hasn't even played a full season in the NBA?
