Great college starter
Re: The secret behind the Atlanta Hawks success.
No one takes more than 14 shots a game, that's huge. So they aren't counting on any one particular person for the bulk of their scoring every night. That's really important for sure.

Korver is also a shooting god in a predominantly 3 point shooting league now.

to win an NBA championship in today's game, you must have one of the top offenses in the league - you can't win JUST with defense anymore like you could in previous eras.. too much spacing now and the mavs and spurs showed everyone how to optimally use that spacing.
that's why all the top teams are loaded up with great shooters, and it's why atlanta is up there with the good teams - because they have great shooting.

The secret is the system.

I usually hit open layups
Re: The secret behind the Atlanta Hawks success.
An egoless team that DOESN'T rely on hero ball and instead acts as a unit at BOTH ends. Players don't take breaks on defense and each player has made it their mission to hold their own against their match ups. Even Korver is a MUCH better defender this year and isn't hiding anymore.
The floor spacing also some of the BEST in the league. This makes up for them being undersized which is a testament to coach Buds coaching prowess.
He's definitely the leading candidate for coach of the year.

* The league is shifting to this more than ever .... 70's , 80's used to have athletic players that basically show cased their prowls and had little if any team concept.
What are you talking about? The lakers celts sixers and Pistons all played team ball. If anything the majority of the league in recent times play exactly as you describe.
