Don't apologize. You're right. Some of that stuff from last night was just stupid. I have no idea why they feel as if they have to stand in the same spot for 14 seconds before they start working on getting a shot off. We need a real coach in the worst way.

Exactly. Woodson actually hurts the team. All he did was do something that he should have done 3 games ago. What kind of an idiot coach do you have to be for it to literally take you several games before you make an obvious adjustment?

It actually is the system that Skiles is exploiting. It's not Mike Bibby that Brandon Jennings is blowing by. Jennings is blowing by Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia when they're trying to guard him out on the perimeter. They're waiting until they get a guard matched up on our Center and then they exploit that matchup. They've been doing it with great success since Game 3.

Exactly. It doesn't matter who is in the game on defense if Woody keeps on allowing them to match up their PG against our Centers. What needs to happen is Woody going man-to man and letting Teague see if he can contain Jennings.

Exactly. This defense allows the defenders to be lazy and Woody is a lazy coach who doesn't like to think. That's a bad combination.

Woodson's perpetual switch defense is getting old too.

In other words, Woodson is the problem.

Woodson.

WHY CAN WOODSON NOT SEE THIS?!!!!!!!! I'd rather put Teague in the game and let him match up with Jennings ALL DAY as opposed to letting Jennings go at Zaza for an easy layup any time he wants it. Woodson is THE DUMBEST coach I've EVER seen in my life!!!!!!!

You know good and danged well that this will NEVER happen.

EXCELLENT post. Joe doesn't get to the freethrow line. That's one of my biggest gripes with him. If he got to the line more, then he might be one of those players that is just under the elite level. However, being that he doesn't, he's about 2 notches below elite. When his shot is not falling, he's absolutely useless because he won't be getting to the freethrow line.

Hilarious!!! :lol6:

I don't think these guys understand what traveling is. I just don't see where Joe took more than 2 steps. Plus, if he did take more than 2 steps, it was because he was pushed in the back.

Rose did nail it. He probably only watches the Hawks a few times a year, and he managed to figure out in a few games what Mike Woodson hasn't managed to figure out in several years. That Isolation crap just isn't going to work in the playoffs. We need to run an offense that gets everybody involved. That way, we won't have those long stretches where our offense just stagnates while everybody is watching Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford be ballhogs.

Even if we make it to the NBA Finals, it would be in spite of Woody. Woodson has to go, period. I see no advantage in keeping him. Anybody can not give a flip about offense and then just tell the team to constantly switch everything on defense no matter what.

Are you asking who will take the shot or are you asking us who do we WANT taking the shot???

Exactly. I don't think I've ever seen Woody just tell the team to just play straight man-to-man defense. He's a one-trick pony. If his switching D isn't working, he doesn't even bother to try anything else.

I agree. The Hawks have lost games that they've absolutely had no business losing.

Crawford's handles are ridiculous. Those crossover moves were just sick. I frequently hear the fans in the audience "ooo-ing" and "ahh-ing" when he pulls out his tricky dribble.

There is one little problem with what you typed there. When Woody actually does let Teague play, it seems to me as if Jamal Crawford is the primary ball handler and Teague is pretty much playing the OG position. That's not exactly playing to Teague's strengths. Woodson is doing a terrible job with developing Teague. Rondo can't shoot that well either, but he's a heck of a PG. If Woodson was coaching Rondo, he'd probably have him playing as on OG while limiting him to a few minutes a game. Rondo's confidence would have been crushed a long time ago.

Dude, stop being an attention-seeking baby. If you don't want to come to this site anymore, then just don't come. There is no need to ask how to delete an account. If you're tired of people complaining on this site, then just don't visit the site.

Uhhh, yeah. Zones usually do tend to slow down and stifle ISO offenses. That's why it's important to actually have an offense in place that you can turn to when the ISO stuff isn't working. It amazes me that Woody doesn't know this.

Exactly. Joe doesn't get to the FT line nearly enough. If the team really needs to score, we know that Joe isn't going to take it hard to the rim. That is a major flaw in his game.

I just loved it when we kept playing the same old switching defense that led to Mike Bibby guarding Dirk Nowitzki, which then led to Jason Kidd hitting wide-open 3s. I'm sorry, but if Woody doesn't care about offense, then he could at least be smart when it comes to defense. However, Woodson isn't smart when it comes to either aspect of the game. I don't care what our record ends up being this year, all I know is that the Hawks need to upgrade the Head Coach position. I simply can't stand to see us do the same old things over and over without attempting to make an adjustment when those things are not working.
