vs Pistons 

Post#1 » by CALPURNIA » Sun Mar 20, 2011 7:59 pm

We are playing and winning into the 4th quarter.
The kind of easy game that seems more difficult for us than for any other PO team and the kind of game in which JJ shines in order to disappear agains tougher ones.
Then his averages seem to be good.
The greatest thrill is not in killing, but in letting live.

How does Drew give Teague a DNP?
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

Victory over the Pistons in a game where their bigs did some damage, LD decided not to go with Collins and where Teague went from starting to not playing (Coach's decision) for no apparent reason.
Any body, including his staff, understands what LD is trying to accomplish?

Atleast Woody made it clear that he didn't really like Teague or Acie and the rotations were consistent for the whole season. Drew really has no clue what the Hawks rotation is outside of Al,Josh,Crawford,and Joe. The way he uses Jason Collins and Teague in particular confuses the **** out of me. How can someone go from starting to DNP in less than a week & vice versa?

If the rotation has to be reduced that much to beat the Pistons at home then it is going to be a really short post-season.

Hard to expect much differently.

Missed the game, but it'd be reasonable to assume that Drew coaches to save his hide from here on out. No more developing youngsters, no more experimenting with different looks -- just trying to win. And how can you blame a man for trying to stay hired when it appears he could be fired in his 1st year?

Dont think it matters. The dude cant coach. In a game where it is easiest to look like a good coach, he manages to look like a complete moron time and time again.

He's made some really bad choices but the worst (for me) has been his decision to put the ball in Jamal's hands. I've noticed all season that Drew seems determined to make a PG out of him.

Just think: we could have traded Jamal (and gotten something decent) and gone with Jordan Crawford as our Jamal off the bench.
