Former Bench Mob stalwart says Thibodeau's tough methods obviously
work and management smooth transition to Hawks
By Teddy Greenstein, December 22, 2012
ATLANTA — The broken-up Bench Mob has a mob mentality when it comes to Tom
Thibodeau's practices.
Echoing the sentiments of former Bulls Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Watson, Kyle
Korver said before Saturday night's game that Thibodeau "probably walks the
line of what's the right amount and what's too much. It can definitely wear on
guys.
"But at the same time, you have a great game-plan going into every single game.
And as a player, you appreciate that."
The nine-year pro is having a typically solid season as a Hawks starter. His
minutes per game (28.4 vs. 22.6) and scoring (10.6 per game vs. 8.1) are up
from last season, and he's happy living in the South.
"Atlanta's different in a lot of ways," he said. "Style of play. It was 55
degrees today. I use up just a tank of gas a month because I don't have to
drive to the Berto (Center) from downtown and back and forth. Things like that
are very nice."
And the practices and shootarounds are far easier on his 31-year-old legs.
"Thibs pushes you to your limit — and then he lets back," he said. "He pushes
you again — and lets back. He knows exactly how to work that and obviously is
doing a great job again this year."
Korver, who was dealt to the Hawks for cash considerations and a trade
exception, said he figured he would not return because of team finances.
"But they were upfront with us and helped me get into a situation that was good
for me," he said. "I have nothing but great things to say about everyone in
Chicago."
Brotherly love: When did Hawks guard Jeff Teague know that little brother
Marquis had NBA ability?
"When he was in the eighth grade," Teague said. "He had three dunks in a row
with two hands. And I was like: Man, I couldn't even dunk when I was a
freshman."
Teague said he was happy when the Bulls drafted Marquis because the Bulls "were
going to make him work. I know guys who got drafted by certain teams, and
they're out of the league now."
