Official Game Thread: Pistons at Hawks

[LK6969]

Hahahahahah.

The team quit on LP. It's so obvious. No one ran back after the TO. LP has lost control of the team because THEY KNOW he is incompetent. Sad! Waiting for the old boomers on this board to make some up excuse (or explain why they get conned by creflo dollar)

 

LP screwed up this game by awful rotations and improper lineups to matchup with DET (same ole same ole)

Bruno seems to be the only one pissed about how this game is going.  Silly to do that, but I understand the frustration.

He busted his ass. 200%

Like Hunter tonight. First time he has played well on the backend of a b2b

it's not a back to back for him. He didn't play last night, atleast that what it felt like

[BudBall]

Sometimes I wonder if our team actually respects LP. On to the next game!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Goodwin doesn't play meaningful minutes = Hawks lose

We have to find a way to keep his energy on the floor, even if we're going with 3 PGs now.  Not like the rest of the bench can provide a spark.  Let Goodwin guard some 2s and 3s, just to be a pest.

They don't. You know it, and everyone watching the Hawks this season knows it. It's SO OBVIOUS.

He's a horrible coach. 

 

Only the shills defend LP. WAHHHH our roster is bad! What do you expect?

You want to know what I expect? Competent coaching. Putting your players IN THE BEST POSITION TO SUCCEED. Even if they lose due to lack of talent, fine. At least you put them in the best position to succeed. Right now, they aren't put in the best position to succeed. It's like LP is blind or doesn't understand basketball. 

[NBASupes]

Happy to have Jeff back

I was here. Complaining about the AWFUL 3rd qtr that LP coached when the Hawks gave up a huge 10 point lead going into the 3rd.. Go look at the thread. At this point I think you are LP's wife or something the way you defend him.

My thing with LP in a game like this, is that you have to at least give Collins a chance to be protected.  Why have him up against Drummond?  And with Hunter's inability to be a decent undersized rebounder, it just puts the Hawks in an unnecessary bind from the jump.

As for this game, the loss is predictable, seeing how emotional the game was last night in San Antonio.  Didn't expect them to lose by 30 though.

Hopefully they'll make up for it on Monday.

Goodwin cant shoot period.

I just think he is a good coach who is very talented.

Completely agreed.

At the NBA level.

LP might want to consider starting Bruno again at center.

You make a very good point on this. I would love to hear LP thought process on why he decided on that line up.

Since you're LP's wife please let him know tonight when you snuggle up to him in bed!
Starting Bruno at Center and JC at the Power Forward position is fine with me!

But knowing LP and his low basketball IQ, I wouldn't count on it. Let's see what the starting lineup is on Monday, shall we?

There's really no evidence of that.  I know you've stated what you like about him in the past, but he's definitely not putting these guys in the best position to succeed on a nightly basis.

He rolled with the hot hand lineup. Any quality coach would have did the same

[Spud2nique]

That was tough. Young guys need to learn about consistency which they will in time. Let’s get ready for the Raps on MLK day.

Hunter and Teague brought it but not much else. Welcome back Teague time!

Tough loss but we will get better. Keep your head up young Hawks!

 

[Buzzard]

I honestly think Collins should have been matched up on Sekou and Morris. LP's instructions to Bruno and Jones should be simple, keep a body on Drummond tonight until you foul out.
