  1. A little advise that my Dad always said worked, he even had a plaque on the wall that said "I am the Boss in this house, and I have my wife's permission to say so"
  2. After tonight's game we do not play again until Friday vs GSW. 3 days of practice time for Quin and the team.
  3. ... The young Magic team regrouped after Butler’s regulation buzzer-beater, holding Butler scoreless in the extra session to put the game out of reach. As the final 17 seconds ticked off the clock, a frustrated Butler walked off the floor before the game had officially ended, leading to Miami getting hit with a technical foul because — without Butler — the Heat had only four players on the court. The technical angered Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, but when asked after the game whether he was even aware of the call, Butler responded succinctly. “I don’t give a f—,” he said. – via Nick Friedell @ ESPN
  4. Went with Royce O'Neal - a guy that just plays and does his job. Shooting 39.5% on 5.t attempts from 3 this year, and plays defense.
  5. Last one: How unsettling is it to not yet know your team? You come in, and you have to live with some stuff until you’re more familiar. For one thing, the coaching staff has been great. The guys, listening to them, sharing, you think we can adapt in this area? ‘Quin, that one’s hard.’ Or, a lot of things, you find out, they’re doing. And how can you try to make it more comfortable for me, and also keep the players in their comfort zones. Just getting to know everybody in the organization. Again, I think that’s where Landry and Kyle have really helped. And, everybody – from Zac (Walsh, the Hawks’ director of team operations), operations, training staff, coaching staff, people have really helped me
  6. What did you want to establish with Trae going forward? I haven’t had a specific agenda. That’s why I felt like being thrown into it with all the guys — with D.J. (Dejounte Murray), with Hunt (De’Andre Hunter), with Trae, you kind of go down the line — just being together and being around each other, those windows that you feel, those things that you think are important, present themselves, and then you can talk about them. Whatever that might be. Rather than kind of having a list of things. Let’s experience it first. Let me get to know them, them get to know me, and to the extent that everybody gives each other the benefit of the doubt on trust, until that gets violated in some way — and maybe it will, even unknowingly. But even that is an experience, if you’re transparent about everything, that can help you grow as a team, and grow as a coach. Trae Young: Quin Snyder is a hell of a coach “Quin’s a hell of a coach, hell of a person,” Young said after the Hawks swept a key two-game series in D.C. over the Wizards last week, giving them a little breathing room over the Raptors and Wizards in the Play-In chase. “I just continue to take it day-by-day. We’re continuing to learn each other. It’s been a great process so far. It’s just the beginning. I know we’re going to win a lot of games here. We’re going to win a lot of games together. So, that’s the plan.” – via David Aldridge @ The Athletic John Collins calls Hawks' 2022-23 season 'a soap opera' “I’ve been through losing years, up years, down years, having playoffs, coming back, whatever,” forward John Collins said. “This one has been one that (is), in the best way, just drama. Just like a soap opera, you know what I mean? This, that, what’s going on? Nobody even asks me about basketball. Everybody asks me about the show.” – via David Aldridge @ The Athletic https://theathletic.com/4300281/2023/03/13/quin-snyder-exclusive-interview-trae-young/
