Can't believe the Thunder didn't want Thabo...

[Dr. Ice]

He started off in a slump but man, this dude is a fantastic player. Unbelievable defense and very smart on offense, now that his shot is falling the dude has literally been doing it all for us. But man, even when he was in that slump, that defense was still godlike. HUGE upgrade over what we had last year, and is one of the main reasons the hawks have been so consistently good right now.

He's outstanding. What a steal we signed him for.

Thunder FO is one of the worst of all time at things besides drafting

[JimmyMcAdocious]

He fell off in OKC. Some guys need a new scenery and some need a new system. Let's be real, what OKC runs... Stars gonna look like stars and role players gonna look like role players or scrubs on a fully healthy team. It's doing no one any favors. You wouldn't see Boris Diaw, or Danny Green, or Draymond Green, look like the clear best player on the floor on any given night in OKC.

Hawks run a system that caters to the whole team and Sefolosha is benefitting from it.

I think it was a win-win for all parties involved. Sefolosha needed to get out of there, Hawks know how to use him, and OKC has more PT for their younger players (and now with the addition of Waiters, Sefolosha would have been buried more).

He was trash last year, even his defense fell. I am glad he left, easily the best choice available.

But am also glad he is back to playing good, classy guy.
I believe the hawks system is making average players look good, kudos to bud.

[Fowl]

He used to be garbage on the Bulls.

[T_L_P]

Always been a fan of his game.

He didn't seem to like OKC that much though. It's not all that tightly bonded of a team when you really break it down.

He was terrible in the Playoffs though. I can see why they parted ways.

shooting 29% from 3 tho'.

Dude is a killer on defense.
A massive, unreal upgrade over Cartier Martin.
And if he gets into a rhythm on offense, he can really get us a lot of wins.

Our bench had 41 yesterday. Almost impossible to beat any team that gets that much off the bench.

He has a better QB at point guard in Teague, and Korver, Millsap and Horford are all good passers (as is Antic and Carroll).

Thunder is just - here's the ball and iso.

The Hawks offense is motion and passing and movement.

:roll:

[Pointguard]

He might be one of those players that excels when he feels like he part of the pie. The current Atlanta group, like SA last year, are loaded with those type of players. Most of them won't do well in other settings. Its great to watch Atlanta this year. I love watching great team ball.

[LONGTIME]

:facepalm

[Richesly]

He had a horrid shooting start to the season. Believe he was like shooting 12% from 3 to start december off.

[Cowboy Thunder]

Wish the guy the best. We really liked him.

[Dro]

Also in OKC, 2 guys get all the shots, Ibaka gets the rest....Role players want shots sometimes too and they're more likely to play defense and rebound or do the "dirty work" if they feel included in the offense...Just like big men who never get touches or shots, they are less likely to do all the other stuff....

And ATL incorporates EVERYONE..They play ultimate team ball....

[navy]

I dont know he looked done his last year in OKC. A change of scenery was for the best.

[GimmeThat]

Jason Kidd now has a job in the FO of the NBA.

[MavsSuperFan]

He was bad last year. Remember the playoffs when people crushed OKC saying the were putting out lineups where only 2 guys could score.
