Thad is really just a slow 3. He doesn't make any sense on this team at least at the 4. I guess if you have team speed at every other position you can hide him, which is what I assume Philly was doing.

I am starting to become concerned with the apparent recent trend of Wiggins being relegated to the weak side on offense. Pek's return to blame?

Man, I hope Ricky can come back soon.

Thad with an efficient 16/7/5 after 3Qs. Absolutely embarrassing. Lets grab our pitchforks and kill him now.

Will only start watching now. Saw that flip started pek/dieng/young frontcourt. How did it look? based on boxscore, the 1st quarter was 24-25 in favor of hawks. So i assume they did not look bad??

Love Thad at the 3. Hate Daniels at the 1.

Poor d to start the 4th.

And getting completely dominated at every position he defended. Being an undersized and a slow 3 will always make for offensive opportunities. But he is a liability on the defensive end. Every front court player on Atlanta is having a much more efficient offensive game. Thad is part of the reason for that. Hopefully his improvement offensively will get someone to take him off our hands and not have him force us to overpay next year.

I have maintained with him that he may have great skills for a NBA team. We are just not the right team for the price he will command if he opts in.

Let's just say Dieng didn't look comfortable guarding Millsap. And by that I mean he struggled mightily. Not a good matchup for him, honestly.

What an awful game from Thad. So bad.
