  1. He definitely was doing what he was brought here to do and thats develop players. I think the owners wanted to speed up the process and pressed Schlenk a bit and Loyd couldn't rise to the challenge with some of the injuries. He was not adding value when everything wasn't perfect. I don't blame him personally for the lack of success but I don't think he was good enough to overcome the challenges we have this season. Too bad we couldn't see what he could do with a full squad.
  2. Before Schlenk, it should be the medical staff. They are way too conservative with these players. Bogi is practically auditioning to play and they wont let him. Dre being out 10 weeks for what he had is ridiculous. Don't get me started on Dunn and Rondo. Why would the medical staff allow these players to be signed if they weren't healthy? Clint was ready to play a week after we traded for him. They made him suffer watching the team when he could help. I was ok with this two years ago and last year because it allowed our young guys to develop while staying in contention for high draft picks but we are not in that mode any more.
  3. I hope you are wrong too. The worst thing you can do now though is to pull the plug on your whole plan out of fear. I always knew Loyd wouldn't be the coach that took us all the way unless he did something extraordinary. Schlenk is following the golden state blue print all the way. Loyd was a development coach like Mark Jackson and they cut their ties as soon as all the players they drafted were developed. This is just the next step in the plan that came a little early.
  4. Yeah don’t get get Trae traded with your rants. Lol.
  5. Hang in there brother. Trae is an amazing, unique all world talent and he has that has fiery competitive spirit which can’t easily be replaced. He will make everyone eat crow sooner or later. I am with Trae til the end and wont turn on him even if we don't win. I still love the Hawks first and foremost but Trae is special. He will get it done.
  6. Agree 100%. I hope he can turn it around fast or it is about to get ugly.
  7. Supes has gone over the rails trying to prove his point. Lol. We are all mad right now, no need to burn down the best thing we have going for us. That post wont age well.
  8. Again, that’s where the coaching comes in. DESIGN plays to go inside the paint. Every shot needs to be in the paint looking for fouls. Only shoot threes if it is the best shot after the ball has touched 3 hands and the shooter is wide open. If any player cant do that, including Trae down the stretch, their a** should be on the bench.
  9. It does amount to winning. He had that team in contention when it hadn't been for ages. It didn't come crashing down until teams double and triple teamed him EVERY time down and he still had a chance to take that team to the tourney. I understand people are mad at the losing but you have to remember we are coming off rebuilding mode. When the GM of the team says he doesn't think we will win more than 31 games, you cant blame Trae for the record.
  10. There is no consistent offense for our second team and role players to play. They aren't coached hard and don’t scare other teams. If you go back and look at all our losses, you will see big nights from a bunch of bench and role players on the other teams. They simply dont respect us and play hard every minute they are on the court and when our team relaxes, which they always do, they go on big runs. Our team only has a plan for the starters and HOPE our bench doesn't cause too much damage when they are out there. Meanwhile people like Nunn, Dort, Windler, etc. have career games against us.
  11. There is no point hating on Trae. He is probably the best player the Hawks will ever have. We need to find a way to make it work. This game is entirely on Pierce. I want Pierce to succeed because he deserves a shot to coach a team expected to win, but he is not adding value right now.
  12. Stop it bro. The man is doing things that hardly has been done throughout NBA history. We need to quit acting like these guys grow on trees. We haven't had a player like this since Nique.
  13. Stop it. Trae ain't going no where. What more can you ask of that man. We need some better coaching and better role play. Also, Schlenk and the medical staff does not get a pass either. They are ultra conservative with these players injuries. Bogi is begging to come back and Dre had a knee scope and they want to keep him out for 10 weeks. They are sabotaging the team.
  14. 20 Million dollars for Gallo. WTF?
  15. We may not win another game this month. Buckle up true fans.
  16. They just need to run plays to him in the post. That’s all. Basic stuff.
  17. There is no way we should be losing these types of games. Even without all our players.
  18. This team can’t get out of their own way.
  19. D*** Trae, stop trying to go for the homerun! Keep taking the ball to the basket!
  20. Thats what i am talking about. Find John.
  21. I haven't seen one post up play for Collins yet. He is going to got to bench without taking a shot and stay there until the game is out of reach.
  22. If they go away from John in the fourth, i am going to flip my lid! The guy can create his own shot.
  23. Great example at the 8:05 mark in the first quarter where Trae pulls up a deep three and his teams just sits there and watches the ball including Clint. They have to stop being surprised by that shot and expect it to miss and get the rebound.
