Larry Drew is Terrible

[BudBall]

No Teague or Hinrich in the 4th? Fire him asap please. What kind of coach doesnt play either of pgs in the 4th Quarter?

Woody sucked, but at least he knew how to use Jamal better and was able to control Smoove's shot selection.

PS: TRADE SMOOVE

not only are his substitutions god awful, but I'll go as far as to say that this offense is worse than woodrow's. I can't wait to see how this team from head to bottom responds after getting massacred in the playoffs.

[Superiorblogman]

Yes, Drew and Mr. Josh Smith lost this game for the most part. Key possession, the Hawks get it down to 3 in the 4th and Josh jacks up another jumpshot knowing he had not hit one all night. Drew once again went offense over defense with Jamal in the game and neither Kirk nor Teague. LD is a man with few convictions and should not be leading anything or anyone worthy of being lead.

Sweet threads!!!!! You guys want to talk about predictable...that's what this site is sometimes. After a loss, you see the same crap over and over.

[Peoriabird]

Every time the Bench got the Hawks back into this game, Drew pulled them and put Joe and Smith back in. Then the lead would balloon up because even though LD preaches defense and inside play his substitutions speak otherwise!

[Brokentree]

George Karl must have been giggling in his sleep the night after the Carmelo trade. His superior coaching really shows when he was a team full of talent like he has now. That team is freaking good.

[Supporter]

Nuggets have more talent than us team wise as well as having a better coach, not really surprising that they won.

[terrell]

LMAO @ Josh thinking its a good shot if he's open. There's a reason they're leavin you open Smoove.

LMAO @ LD for thinking Jamal Crawford is a pg.

LMAO @ Al only getting up 5 shots.

LMAO @ no pg being on the floor in the 4th.

LMAO @ Joe Johnson failing to have 2 good games in a row @ 20 mill a year.

LMAO @ Zaza being the leading scorer.

Can you say dysfunctional?

I still prefer LD over Woody but his use of Jamal is pathetic. In fact, that may be Woody's stronger points is he knew how to use Jamal. If you're going to put him on the court for an extended period of time then he better be scoring. If he's not then you're digging a hole because he does NOTHING on defense. Tonight he was also doing Nothing on offense so why not have a defender in there?

Another thing, if you're going to post a guy up to draw a double team then you have to do something when he kicks the ball. At one point Josh draws a double in the post, kicks to Joe who just puts the ball on his hip until the defense gets lined back up. WTF!!!!!

I prefer NEITHER.

[APE]

Anyone see when Josh was open rat 20ft and I think Chandler just turned and went the other way? They know he's too stupid to do anything else but shoot, too bad his great Oak Hill education can't help him make fundamental basquetbol plays.

Oh.. I thought that was what this site was for. You see threads after they win too.. is that ok?

[macdaddy]

Again why so much about Josh's stupid shots when he was probably the 7th worst performance on the court. Zaza was the only one who showed for this one. Joe, Marvin, Jamal, and Horf were god awful.

After awhile some of you I hate Woody guys need to come around to the fact that Woody is just a much better coach. I can't understand what you like about LD better. Are our offensive sets better, yes, but our personnel rarely ever executes and rarely has showed signs to ever to so. This isn't a Woody/LD problem, this is a personnel problem.

[GameTime]

Drew definitely lost this game for us.

[Bawse]

Man, I had to leave the chat for chicken I was so disgusted. Fire this coach asap.

[benhillboy]

That looked like an exhibition for the Nuggets. A nice little fine-tuning. But for some time now, the fifth seed in the West is gonna be considerably superior to the same in the East. Tonight was a picture perfect example. Yeah, this coach is pretty lame. I knew by his first-day interviews that we got what we paid for. Just so overwhelmed.

I wonder what were you expecting to read... This is a place for us to cheer and vent. Of course we get frustrated when we lose, so if you don't like it... Well, there are some other really nice sites over the web.

[Packfill]

Did anyone really expect Drew to be the answer? Did it really strike anyone as a good decision to promote an assistant from a bad coaching staff? Did it sound like a recipe for success to have the lowest paid coach in the league? Did anyone not think a better call would have been to bring in a real coaching talent? Anyone notice what is happening in Chicago right now?

Yeah, they have a rookie coach who knows what he's doing.
