Bret, the only ...Can we trade Joe for Spoelstra? <br /><br />Bret, the only good that's come from the Hawks' wildly erratic season is the opportunity it provides you to surgically eviscerate the team's make-up, management, and coaching.<br /><br />Adam, nice comment, bubba. You hit the nail that management has been driving into my skull squarely on the head.lukashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940941728281399655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-72040151631160396082011-02-11T10:37:38.834-05:002011-02-11T10:37:38.834-05:00What's frustrating to me is that this all move...What's frustrating to me is that this all moved from predictable to certain the moment the team extended Joe Johnson. To be sure, Larry Drew has compounded the team's problems by not coaching to their strengths and, more importantly, minimizing their weaknesses. But neither the team's recent troubles nor their inability to change course should surprise anyone.<br /><br />That said, if Sund/Drew really ARE surprised by the recent "complacency," then there are no words. That's probably even worse than the cynicism we all assumed was behind the Johnson contract. I always thought that management just took fans' stupidity for granted, and so aimed to keep the status quo, but now it's really starting to look like management is in fact dumber than your average fan: Larry Drew might really believe the Hawks' problems begin and end with effort.Adam Malkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906845916098689970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-90579397321220376242011-02-11T08:44:27.003-05:002011-02-11T08:44:27.003-05:00Hawks Probably Not Going to Change.....What we hav...Hawks Probably Not Going to Change.....What we have here is the perfect example of "what you see is what you get." There is not much to really expect from this bunch. We have a very good 4 playing 5. We have a 3 playing 4 but nobody told him he's playing 4 cause he still acts like a 3, too many jump shots. We start a point guard who plays no defense, and hasnt sniffed the paint since we signed him. Lets not forget about our maxed out superstar, who JUST started averaging 20 points a game last month. Top it all off with a bargin basement coach that couldnt coach himself out of a brown paper bag, and I give you Ladies and Gentleman...(drum roll).......My Atlanta Hawks. We are built to fail. We are talented enough to make the playoffs because of our conference, but we will lose 1st or 2nd round as always. So you can replace the word "probably" with the word "are" in your title because the Hawks ARE Not Going to Change.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434809529066991643noreply@blogger.com
