Is the Hawks playing better or worse with the return of Kirk?

PrintJeff Teague was the starting point guard and Jannero Pargo was the back up point guard at the beginning of the season. The starters and bench players played with alot of intensity and was blowing teams away. The chemistry of the Hawks seems a little different in Kirks return. No doubt Kirks a good guard and defender. But is he the right fit for the Hawks and there chemistry? Now should we keep him and juggle minutes with pargo or trade him and bring in someone we desperately need.

I wish there was "the same" option
The Hawks schedule was pretty easy up until the start of February, but let’s also consider that the Hawks could be playing Kirk so much (not only because he is better and getting 9 mil) to dangle him out there for teams to see aka trade bait.
for better or for worse
he’s here. Although I believe when Pargo’s in the game he pushes the pace better than any pg. If Jeff were to do it every now and then instead of walking the ball up like bibby or giving the ball up early instead of initializing the penetration, that’ll be awesome.
Atlanta will win a championship....someday
Trade Bait...
If not Kirk then who should be traded? The Hawks is playing well but could be playing better. Al Horford being hurt is a factor as well. But once he got hurt they was on a hot streak and still played well for some games there after. We need the point guards to take charge and hustle out there. Trading Kirk for a Big? I dont think thats a bad idea.

I think the real question should be: How bad is the grammar in this post?
How hard is it to proofread before you post, you just come off uneducated and stupid.
Hawks Fans!
All of us should be true Hawks fans. The Atlanta Hawks is the topic here. If you care about grammar go to somewhere else.

Wow!
This FanPost went into a whole different direction. Kirk is a good player at his position no doubt about it. When he returned off his injury, the Hawks seemed like they were lost on the floor and was not executing plays like they did in previous games with Pargo playing with the second unit. The second unit on the floor saved us in some of those games and this was an observation I had watching the games every night on fox sports south. No one talked about it and I just wanted to know what some Hawks fans out there thought. I want to say thank you to the ones on here who gave me something to think about.
UFcking worse no ufcking doubt. This is unbelievable.

Kirk's way more powerful than I ever gave him credit for
Considering it’s the starters who are currently a problem, and that’s been essentially the same lineup for quite a while.
It's pretty unbelievable. Offensive Rating is at 84 per 100 possessions.

Yes, Kirk is shooting horribly.
If the question was which regular rotation Hawk is shooting the worst right now, no question it’s Kirk. If it’s which regular rotation Hawk is playing overall offense the worst, good argument it’s Kirk. Giving him “credit” for how the Hawks are playing is another story. We’re in a hole before the bench ever sees the floor. Over the last 10 games, our 5 worst guys for cumulative +/- are the 5 starters. The team has been outscored by an average of 1 point with Kirk on the floor, and by an average of 12 points with JJ on the floor. We continue to beat up on sub-.500 teams and lose to +.500 teams, same as we have all season. But it’s much easier to blame Kirk for team play.
He did two things quite badly last night – he shot like crap, and his name wasn’t Jeff Teague.
Blow the starters up with a grenade launcher!
The Hawks starters are just not getting it done like they should be. Start the bench players and bench the starters, lol. I see your point, Kirk is way more powerful than we thought but his shot is not falling like it should. I think we have found the weakest link, goodbye! What was Billy Knight thinking? Now he is asking for a trade, they should have not gave him an extension! Better yet drafted him at number 2.
