This is going to be very disappointing, if we lose this game.

They need to start this quarter very well.  No half stepping.

We are going to lose because LP's lineups are HORRID and clueless. Also Wow, I just saw a coaches challenge by Ryan Saunders. I wonder if LP is taking notes? Probably not. FIRE LP. He's AWFUL. 

Wonderful lineup by LP at the end of the 3rd. Jabari at the C and Vince at the PF position. 

Do you think we will get any rebounds? LOL LP ur awful and should be fired. How many games have we lost this season due to LP? I'm counting about 4 or 5 so far.

Literally the worst moronic fool I've ever witnessed. Heck, I'd take WOODSON over this clown.

BRING BACK WOODSON! HE IS GOODSON!

OMG!!

For the first time all year, Bruno leads all centers in minutes played ( 12 ) going into halftime.

LP is learning!!

LP learned too slow, and he didn't really learn. Djones is STINKING it up again in the 3rd qtr. LP is dumb. Flat out dumb and doesn't have an analytics person on staff. clueless. I'd rather have Fred Sanders the 33 year old coach of the Wolves than dumb LP. He never even makes situational subs or changes up his gameplan (if he even had a gameplan in the first place)

Bembry is great at pressuring the ball, so is Reddish and Hunter. LP needs to think about it.

Thanks LP! I don't know what LP's love affair is with DJones. Dude is really really really bad.

Can you imagine this lineup. Center: Djones Power Forward: Vince Carter.

Will we get any rebounds? THANKS LLOYD!!! 

3 offensive rebounds in a row for the Raptors. I wonder when LP will make an adjustment? holy cow this dude is literally dumb as PUCK. 

VC at power forward is such a disaster. I wonder if LP will recognize it? Probably not. Here is an idea. Play Len at C. Play Bruno at PF.

Problem solved. Defense solved. Everything solved. Too bad Lloyd is lloyd and you all defend him. He's HORRID.

Excellent defense by Bruno to end the quarter, both on the ball and with help defense.

+4 for the game so far.

Bruno playing well. So what happens? Worthless LP pulls him for Djones at the start of the 2nd QTR. Honestly getting sick of LP and is braindead mindless rotations. Literally the worst. I'm done with LP. Clueless coach and bad. Keep defending him though 

speaking of Djones. Dude was a matador just a moment ago. easy drive, easy foul, Easy +3. 

Thanks LP! legit clueless and bad.

If LP was a GOOD coach he would know how to run Trae off of a bunch of screens 

 

And Bruno is just getting straight up punked out there

LP isn't a good coach. Trae is getting frustrated out there. Game after game, it will start to wear down a player. I know i'm worn down watching this crap. 

Travis is a garbagecan. We needed a decent defensive minded center. Use Len as the backup. Use Bruno as the third stringer in limited minutes. DJONES SHOULD NOT BE STARTING OR SNIFFING THE COURT. His Defense is horrid. I can't stand it. I can't stand LP. I can't stand this team. And I can't stand the fact that Tony Resller has a billion dollars but he hasn't worked a day in his life. This society is a JOKE.

Parsons is finished. He looks even slower than Vince

I don't know man. He has 10 minutes and has a +/- of 0. So....that's better than a lot of the other players who have played this game. Sometimes I wonder if LP even bothers looking at +/-.

Does he have anyone on staff to show him the analytics? Even the basic stuff? My guess is no. He can't even utilize coaches challenges properly. 

When VC has a -23 in like 10 minutes in the first half, why on EARTH would you let him play a single minute in the second half? Like...is LP really just dumb?

nevermind I know the answer.

Maybe LP will save his coaches challenge until the last 1 minute like last game vs the Bucks. Remember how he "retardedly" used his coaches challenge when it made zero difference?

LP is a  coach. Bad rotations, bad analytics, bad understand of the game.  And here I thought it was a meritocracy. The players have to be really good, but the coaches can be  and get paid millions.

Pretty sure this season is done. Travis wants to tank more. What a joke.

Jones:  3 pts - 4 rebs  . . . in 21 min

Len:  1 pt - 2 rebs . . . in 11 min

Bruno:  4 pts  - 4 rebs . . in 8 min

 

But guess who's still on the bench?

That Djones stat line is sickening. What is wrong with LP? START BRUNO PLEASE. holy cow LP. I'm so pissed. I hope trae demands that he be fired. Too bad Trae is too nice for that. Joke.

Salute to Cam and Hunter for showing heart

 

I'm just sorry that u guys have a dunce as a coach

 

And Cam is still on the bench for some reason

LP doesn't understand running with the hot hand. LP doesn't have an analytics guy on the bench. LP is bad and doesn't deserve his million dollar + contract. Sad!

Looking at Lebron out there on the floor, I see no way in the world he passed a drug test if he was even administered one while John failed. Just not possible.

Of course Lebron is on drugs. He's taking Testosterone and probably straight HGH. If you don't think that's the case then I have a bridge to sell you in NYC. Maybe the white collar criminal Tony Resler will buy it from me?

I can't believe Atlanta is subsidizing this criminal....Such a joke. 

Honestly this roster is a joke. Trae doesn't want to lose anymore. He is too competitive. I don't want to lose anymore. This team started off very good the first 5 games. Now it's a joke. LP can't adjust or adapt. And garbage TITS won't make any signings. Lots of players that are unsigned that could assist coming off the bench. 1 big and 1 ball handler/shooter. 

Too bad TITS is standing pat and LP never adjusts fast enough. He's really bad. Management for this team is bad. And Tony Ressler has never worked one day in his life yet has a billion dollars. Huh? Sounds like the "owner" of this team is an economic parasite and white collar criminal. Btw, our tax dollars went to state farm arena, for what? So Tony Ressler can sell the hawks in 5 years and double his 1 billion dollars by sitting around and doing nothing? This society is a joke.

Look up what the french did during the french revolution. I'm thinking we need some of that ASAP. 

Jones is so bad. He isn't an NBA player. He is a third stringer at best. This is a joke. Why isn't Alex Len playing 30 minutes a game? SHEESH.

In this game in particular, the Lakers are putting a HUGE team on the floor, while the Hawks are going small.  We shoot the basketball horribly.

If anything, I would've tried to go big for big initially, instead of going with the small and fast lineup.  Maybe go with 2 "centers" to start, instead of Parker, to combat AD and McGee.

Bruno, right now, is actually playing quite well defensively against AD, so why not try that, instead of forcing Parker to guard him?  Bruno, while he makes mistakes, can at least move laterally enough to stay in front of Davis . . a little.

I'm not as down on Pierce as you are, but I do want to see a lot more adjustments from him.  Just don't put lineups out there, just to do it.  At least show a little bit of ability to make the correct adjustments.

I'm fine with the double center lineup. Jones and Bruno to see how it works.

Right now at the start of the 2nd qtr we can't rebound at all vs Dwight. Is there a reason why Alex Len is sitting on the bench? Oh wait, LP is a retread. Thanks LP!!!!! Smooth.

Which asshole wants to blame the rookies for this?

Rookies will be Rookies. You need to put them in a position to win and gain confidence. You can't start Reddish AND JONES. You are going to get completely demolished within the first 5-6 minutes. Golly gee what happened? Past two games. This is kinda pathetic. LP is clueless. He isn't good. stop defending him.

Just now, NBASupes said:

A lot of missed defensive reads by Parker. I don't see how some of you think he will get Prince salary. I think 4/40 is high end

You can't start Parker without a VERY good defensive C. Too bad LP doesn't realize that. 

I predicted this start. I knew it was gonna happen. Too bad LP the "retread" doesn't understand it. It's pretty disgusting actually. 

You honestly think a player like Trae is going to accept this BS? Dude wants to win. Zero reason not to sign a C to a 1 year deal. Noah is available? Trade for Adams? ANYTHING. This is pretty pathetic. Trae started this season going ham. Now he is getting PISSED. So am I. Screw LP awful coach. And Screw Travis. TITS? My butt. He's an awful GM.

Whelp. Lakers will start out VERY VERY HOT. Djones will be a disaster during the first 5-6 minutes. BOOK IT! Thanks for the free loss LP! Ur making millions of dollars, lmao. 

Does this guy even use analytics? This is a joke. You can't start Jones and Parker at C and PF, The Defense is too porous and the rebounding will be horrible...

If I was Pierce I would go ahead and insert Bembry in the starting lineup and send Cam to the Bench.  At least Bembry can get to the basket to score or play the passing lanes which could lead to fast break points.  I am sick of the slow starts in every game.

AGREED. Too bad LP is clueless. but I guess we'll find out in about 30 minutes!

Like I said in the other thread the Hawks are showing EXTREME symptoms of being poorly coached. Pierce clearly doesn't know a damn thing about offense, certain players clearly don't know their roles and I never see any adjustment from Pierce. And some of the lineups he puts on the floor are just asinine!!!

 

I can't wait until more people remove their lips from Pierce's butt. Just becuz he makes some quips after the game doesn't make him a good coach!!!!

Agreed with everything you said. Yes, the roster isn't the best. But the lineups are horrible. He doesn't understand his players or how to put them in the best position to succeed. It's really sad this dude is making millions of dollars while a lot of you guys are the fry guys at mcdonalds and could probably do a better job. And here I thought we lived in a meritocracy.  Btw, speaking of meritocracies, does anyone know what Tony Ressler did to make billions of dollars? I'm guessing he hasn't worked an actual day in his life.

Sad!
