That dude has been about excuses and deflecting blame for everything, all year. He needs to be gone already.

You don't think Lou can do that?

Could this team beat the Heat and win a championship? Teague/D Harris Lou/Korver/Jenkins Smith/1st round pick Horford/Ivan/Scott D Howard/ZZ/Petro

If you are watching the game, tell me I'm right!

Of course we are overmatched, but as a coach, you should still put the players you have in the best position to succeed and we don't do that. Thats why the Pacers look better than they are. Indiana scored 94.7 points per game in the regular season. They are not as good as they are playing and we are not as bad. We need better coaching and we can be more competitive, even with the injuries.

Guess what, Ivan was in Foul trouble anyway. Ivan would have better luck with George than Hibbert. Ivan in the starting lineup does a lot of things including giving us more rebounding, especially offensive.

Yeah, changing the lineup and rotation would help. We tried putting our worst defenders on George, how about now putting our best. Teague KK Ivan Smith Horford, with a rotation of Devin Deshawn Tolliver and Petro is our best chance.

This team can be competitive with my suggested rotation and keeping three starters on the floor at all times. We can at least win a damn quarter. You can't tell me Indiana is this good. Putting Devin on Paul George is just stupid.

He is in foul trouble anyway. At least this way Ivan and Josh can take turns defending and share some fouls. Do you realize that Devin started this game defending George? Having Josh/Ivan defend George/West is our only chance.

Korver needs to be moved to the 2 and Ivan needs to start at the 4, with Smoove at the 3. Thats our best chance. Then you have a bench of Devin, Deshawn, Petro, Tolliver. This is our best chance at winning a game with our injuries.

Actually, Horford usually gets the better of the match ups with Noah. It's obvious that Horford has a more complete game than Noah.

If Devin doesn't play, I think we get swept.

I don't think it has to do with the fan base at all. I think its the culture of this team. They don't play the right way and there is little accountability. When a coach basically says, I tell my guys what not to do and they do it anyway, thats not a great environment. For Korver, its that this team does not always play the right way AND does not always play hard. The Bulls over achieve because they play the right way and hard all the time.

Man, I was about to post this, almost exactly. Glad its not just me that thinks LD blew this from jump.

I hope you are right!

WTF? I hope Al takes all the first quarter shots.

Shelvin Mack is first out the limo!

Or the charge call against Teague that negated a three point play. No way that was a charge, the dude was actually turning his shoulder and was sideways when the contact occured.

Its not Smith's fault, we all know he is an idiot. It the fault if this lame duck coach. There should never be a game where Smith has as many 3 pt shot attempts as Korver. There is no accountability...none. Giving this dude max money would be much worst than Joe. It's sad, but, this is what he is, just not mature enough to be counted on to lead this team.

There is a great quote about coaching...A coach doesn't have to get his players to love and play for him, he has to get his players to love and play for each other. Drew is a failure in that regard, he should never been hired, after Woodson, and should be fired immediately; it is apparent that he will not coach beyond this year. Name an interim coach and begin to look for the most qualified coach you can convince to come to ATL. It should be a coach that has head coaching experience and a proven track record. We have not had that since Lenny Wilkens. That is all.

There should be a 9 man rotation for the next 20 games barring injury, severe foul trouble:ZZAlJoshKorverTeagueIvanLouDeshawnMorrow

Yep, it was the right call, and he did bump him, and he should be suspended. The league almost always screws the Hawks, so we will see. It was an obvious chest bump.

Yep, the same leap we have made plenty times before, 2nd round exit. This team makes the same mistakes repeatedly, year to year. No accountability on this team, none. If I hear "we got too selfish out there" or "we need to share the ball" one more time I might lose it.

Seriously, we have not had a vet coach with a proven record since Lenny Wilkens. This team is rarely as prepared as other good teams; we are wasting prime talent. Any chance?

Ha! This vid made me feel uncomfortable..
