Collins with a wide open jumper from the free throw line is about an 80% bucket. The Pick-N-Pop that made Al rich and Teague an All-Star should be a staple here. But Lloyd was a new-school guy masquerading as some old-school defensive guru, hopefully Nate brings in more traditional basketball staples like mid range shots, cutting, and PG ball pressure like a coach that got some damn sense. Remains to be seen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good developmental coach is almost a cliche for a new coach who will not outlast his contract. Schlenk is not the first to fall for it and he will not be the last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it difficult to say we'd be in this situation if some KEY pieces had been mostly healthy all season... and THAT, my friends, is really no one's fault... but if it is someone's, it's the GENERAL MANAGER who actually deserves the chopping block ahead of the head coach. As always, I'm not going to comment further out of principle, but I will welcome reading others' perspectives on that. I agree. I believe we would've been in a better position if we didn't have many injuries. Even though LP had silly rotations, a lot of the blame goes on Travis because none of the players he signed this off-season (besides Bogi) fitted what LP wanted as far as defense and athleticism. His drafting of Okongwu is still a head scratcher. I don't believe the kid will be a solid contributor. He's too slow, plays too small, and doesn't provide a big defensive presence in the paint. Travis literally fired LP to save his own ass because the Rondo and Dunn signings are cringe-worthy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Schlenk couldn't handle the chew out from Ressler and decided to save his own ass. I think it's going to get nasty as more news comes out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 With every tough loss lately I kept expecting this headline. I never judged him harshly for his “failures” with a super young, tanking roster, but this season was the real test and he unfortunately came up short. Sucks about COVID and the injuries, but we’ve blown too many very winnable games. Hopefully this gives the team a jolt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Travis knows his seat is hot too, as it should be. Not that I trust the owner to make any sound basketball op related decisions. I just don’t want to hear any smoke about Klutch Sports having anything to do with the firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 18 minutes ago, bleachkit said: Nate a solid defensive coach, but his offenses are boring as dirt. Simple, give the reins back to Trae and let him run the team. Pick and Rolls, Pick and Pops, Pick and Kicks; and of course Trae finishing at the rim with a layup or floater is always good to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If and when the time comes I’m a man that pays up like a man don’t worry about that. What core btw? Oh no, is it... is it fragile ankle man n company? Come on have some compassion (if you win).

HawksNWaffles Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I have to say that this was the right move. It's the same principle with the Falcons. It's one thing to lose a few close games, but the consistency the Hawks were losing winnable games, that's one leadership. Perhaps his message had started to fall on deaf ears. With that being said, dude is a great guy and at least put in the effort. but it seemed as if he was a bit overmatched at times. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Says Nate is meeting with LP and Hawks now to decide how to proceed. Damn Nate might not want the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurider05 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 This writing was on the wall as soon as Nate got hired. I prefer another coach but Nate did get screwed by the Pacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate might not be comfortable with the firing, he's very close with Lloyd. Is Kenny Atkinson available? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
