so with taht as preface - the fact is that Thompson is very good at challenging 3 shooters. I can still picture T-Mo fouling Korver on and +1 where he was just inside the 3 line. A 4 pt play is going ot give a team life.
Good point, but there's a little more to it than that ... it's also about being able to switch those P&R's. We became so predictable about it, that Teague was inviting it and attacking Thompson (with his 5 fouls).
Why would we invite a mismatch like that? Over and over?
And the answer is we'd rather see the Hawks try to go 1v1 then get their offense flowing by rotating and getting their passing game going.
Heh, as I type you're mentioning this in the 91.1 inteview.
