I like Nate more after hearing his presser.

Sounds smart and mature. I'm a fan.

The fact that we are 7-1 with him at the helm, and on a 5 game winning streak...and yet we are STILL under .500 overall just shows how bad this team was performing under LP.

Nate: 7-1

LP: 12-19

Bruno

Looks lost and disinterested.  Might be time to cut him...

I was watching him the entire 2nd half.  He was literally sitting in his seat . . with no one within 10 feet of him.

Now maybe they all have assigned seats.  But with Knight on the floor, there were 2 Gatorade containers and 2 empty chairs around him.  

The dude didn't look this bad last year.  Something is wrong.  Really hasn't been the same since his mother passed away.  He had those few good games in the immediate aftermath of her passing.  Nothing groundbreaking after that.  Just doing his job, while making mistakes.

Knight already the best interviewee on the team? lol

Strictly off of energy and aggression.

[Bonkers]

This just has me thinking of how much of a TOXIC person LP must of been

 

Seemed like a complete asshole and this pretty much confirms it for me

I saw this happen to Stanley Johnson. Dude played with elite energy but when he lost his mother, it was like his energy was zapped. These things are hard to deal with especially when you aren't having success. A lot of people don't realize that these NBA players are human. This isn't easy for them.

Bogi:  5-9/ 2-4 from 3, 4 rebounds, 2 assists - looked a little spry tonight.

Naw, Nathan got skill and a serious ass first step that makes you think he might could develop into a Tobi Harris type with more development.

Hawks fav name: NATE (McMillan/Knight)

Hawks fav # (19 Collins/Huerter)

That’s CINCOOOOOO (5) WINS!!!

@TheNorthCydeRises @REHawksFan Nice win huh boys! 

Our superstar went for 14 and 6 and we won. Hmm stats are funny sometimes aren’t they. RESPECT THE VET POSTER AND THE REST OF OUR SQUAD TOO!!!  Trae gets it, all that matters.

@Jody23 ON TO THE NEXT! 
 

GO HAWKS!

No, he was a good guy, very intelligent too. Team wasn't playing well, and his game adjustments weren't the best, but no need for baseless personal attacks on the guy.

And then the COVID isolation - I can only imagine how tough that must have been for him.

You forgot to add under Lloyd Pierce!

Remind me how many points per game Trae is averaging under Nate...

[Buzzard]

A really nice win!

No Capela, No Problem. The rest of the Hawks bigs tonight.

Collins, 22/13/1/1
Gallinari 20/5/0/1
Knight 16/8/1/2

Trae had 14 points, 6 assist, and 1 turnover. In under 28 minutes and 44.4 FG% in the blowout. The Hawks also had a small Bogi showing. 12 points. 55.6 FG%, 50.0 from three in 25 minutes.

Last season if Trae only gets 14, its because the Hawks are losing by 30.

 

Go Hawks!

Stop it! The dude was great and talented, he just can't coach. To be honest, he never HC at any level before this job, it wasn't like he didn't work hard, he did. He just couldn't coach in-game. That takes a lot of work. He really wasn't ever a floor coach. His biggest job was a defensive coordinator for Philly. He never had to know how to coach and before Nate, we didn't have anyone to show him how.
