Drew has to trust Jeff Teague (and Kirk) at all times, not when it is convenient..

This is the type of game in which a coach gets fired, losing a double-digit lead in the second half of a PLAYOFF GAME at home...

Coach Drew has to 'live or die' with Jeff Teague running the team along with Kirk Hinrich .

Joe Johnson is not a true point guard and shouldn't be taking the ball up the court, and that goes for Josh Smith. This happens WAY TOO MANY TIMES.

Joe should be coming off screens and shoot the basketball, just like Marvin.

We don't see Brandon Bass or Garnett walking the ball up the court multiple times a game, but here in Atlanta, this has become way too common.

I believe this has contributed to the Hawks erratic play.

The Hawks had a double-digit lead with three minutes to go after Jeff Teague made those free throws in the third quarter...and Joe started holding the ball, turning it over ...THIS PLAYED RIGHT INTO BOSTON'S HANDS.

Boston felt confident in Atlanta, because they know the Hawks' don't trust their point guards and rather have their small forwards bring the ball up, and that is recipe for disaster...

The bottom line is - if not for Kirk hitting 4 threes in 4 attempts last game we would be down 2-0.I bet Chicago wishes they had him back now.

The only thing that changed tonight was in addition to not having our best 2 centers, we also lost our 3rd string center (while still in the lead I believe) and then we lost our best player with the game still very close. LD should probably be replaced by a more experienced and better coach, but not because of anything that happened tonight. If that were the case then by the same token if we were to come back and steal a game in Boston then he should have his contract extended.
