Bud is 1-0 on his way to leading the Bucks to a top 3 seed and the playoffs.

Pierce is 0-1 on his way to leading the Hawks to a top 3 draft pick.

Great. Hope youre right about the Hawks getting a top 3 pick..Couldnt care less about Milwaukee..But they wont be top 3..Boston/Toronto/Philly/are all better imo..Indiana/Milwaukee/Wiz next tier...

Travis Schlenk isn't the only idiot GM in the NBA.  There are others that can be taken advantage of like teams take advantage of Travis.

Why the f....do you come on a message board to espouse your hate of the GM  and team and act like you are a fan for so long? Your schtick is the most boring and maddening crap on this board.  I give you the benefit of the doubt when you bring solid arguments, but why dont you join another teams fan base?  I'm sure you'd bring more to them.

You do know what credible means, don't you?  Because I don't see anyone on here more credible than I am when it comes to the Hawks.  Everything that I have said about them and this process has been proven to be true.  Don't forget that I was the one that told you that tanking was going to cost this team Mike Budenholzer, and I'm also the one that told you the team was drafting Trae Young and Kevin Huerter well before the draft.

I do, and you’re utterly delusional. And painfully un-self-aware.

This has aged well.

A really disappointing start. No one played well after the 1st quarter and so much for the veteran leadership and depth. Just one game and the 1st of the season; plenty of time to get things right.

For those who care...Doncic started out well but ended on a poor opening night.

Doncic and Trae are even game 1.

Suns got a nice young core. Booker, Ayton, etc.

Like I said, once every 4 games. Show up, you can do it ??

 

Edit: once every 3 games

LOL . . I was about to say.  If it's once every 4 games, that dude will be right about everything he's saying.

At some point, we're just going to have to admit that KB is right about this team and its direction, until the team and management proves him wrong.   We did the bare minimum in free agency, and most teams that are this young are historically extremely bad teams.

Let's see if the Hawks can change this trajectory.

Marvin tanked the game for Charlotte 

All they ask Marvin to do is make open shots.  And he couldn't even do that.   Poor Kemba has to be Captain America every night, fighting the entire universe.

Josh Jackson too and one of the Bridges. They’ll be fighting for a playoff spot by next year.

Of all the unproven non-playoff young cores in the NBA, the Suns have the most upside to me.

Or DAL just sucks like we thought they would.

Trae is going to be a great player for us for many seasons.  I just hope we build around him and not give him the Barry Sander's treatment.

Luka looks really good. Defense better at least bring it for one game because if they don't the Hawks are gonna get embarrassed big time.

I find it funny that Hawk fans are willing to compliment other team's player while criticizing their own when both Trae and Doncic had the exact same stats and the exact same game result.

Why would I do that and miss the opportunity to remind you that I told you all of this would happen?

Want to know how to end this?  Get some veteran players that know how to win in this league.  Bring Paul Millsap back after this year.  Sign another 3-4 veteran players.  Trade some of these draft picks for veterans.  Get rid of Lloyd Pierce and bring in a real head coach that isn't just a rah rah guy.

Agree.   We are ALL fans and I dont agree with the tank at all, but we all have our opinions.   Pierce and the staff really looked disorganized and the team was out of control, no leadership.   Hopefully its just the first game and things will come together a little better.  I put out there I believe we would win 22 games and I still believe that until proven wrong.  This is regular season and not summer league or preseason.

made a mistake letting Bud go.   Bud wants to win and didnt want to be in a loosing situation and I dont blame him.  Pierce jumped on the job because he has never been a head coach and the Hawks hired him for stop gap and he was cheap.  

[KB21]

Oh, just for the running tally:

Jaren Jackson Jr = 11.9 BPM

Marvin Bagley III = -13.0 BPM

[Peoriabird]

The way @Vol4everand @KB21 are celebrating...One wound think that the Hawks were the only team that lost big last night and Milwaukee blew out Golden state!

Bud is a top 2 coach in the Eastern Conference and a top 5 coach in the NBA.  The Hawks were foolish to do anything that would make him want to walk out the door.
