Horst: Prunty, we **** canned Griffin. You're the interim.

Prunty: Story of my life.

Interim for an afternoon lol. Still, can put 3x NBA head coach on the resume.

I don’t think doc is good, but there aren’t a lot of good coaches in general. He’s at the very least on the same tier as Mazzulla

Thinks its a better hire than Atkinson considering the corcumstances. Atkinson hasnt had any success as HC and at least vets will play hard for Doc

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

You’ve got the 2024 version of Shaq and Kobe on your roster. You need someone who can command respect in the lockeroom, and at the same time give them freedom.

Doc fits that bill. Atkinson does not. It’s that simple.

(And I think most of you realize this is all Kabuki theater right now for PR purposes. This deal is done).

youre the master.

All Doc needs to do is command the respect from Gianni, then Dame, Khris and Brook. If the "Big Four" buy in it should be fine. And we just have to hope that Doc's "consultant" role was secretly him telling Horst and the Owners "This system is exposing this roster's weaknesses as opposed to accentuating its strengths."

[James1980]

Horst getting credit for firing Griffin is like Larry Harris and Jon Hammond getting credit for getting rid of players that they brought in.

****, I finally get to the end of this thread and they just announce Doc.

I have some questions, regardless:

* Do we know why Giannis hates Nurse so much? Guessing this links back to 2019.
* Why on Earth were so many of you clamouring for Atkinson? He had four relatively mediocre seasons at the Nets and got canned just before they brought in KD. My memory of those Nets teams were them being not quite as bad as people thought they'd be but I don't recall Atkinson standing out as a brilliant coach at the time. What am I missing about Kenny?

I don't mind the Doc hiring. He's not an elite coach anymore, but he's not terrible either and honestly that might be enough for a team with this much talent to win. We need someone who is proven and will command the respect of the players. Doc provides this. After swinging for the fences with Griffin, I don't think it was tenable to bring in another career assistant in Kenny A. No hate on the guy but it's too much of a risk coming of the Griff debacle.

Polling results are correct.

Plot twist, Horst is the man behind the PP account all this time.

I think the real question is how much of it was actually consulting and how much was just bringing in Doc to get a front row view of his future players a month before he's actually hired as head coach.

[WiscoKing13]

So like 15 minutes minutes later still only CNN sports reporting? Seems strange not one of Haynes, shams, woj or Fischer confirmed it.

I'm still not seeing anywhere that Doc was officially hired. Where are we hearing this?

[Daver]
