"They Say Du-Wop Homeeee" The GREAT Dwight Howard Returns...2016-17 ATL Hawks Season Thread

[charmander]

It might be time to start thinking about cutting the cords with Bud. I think he was crowned too early. This team ain't never going anywhere with his vision

i won't go that far......yet

but he has definitely been making some flabbergasting retarded ass moves this season, not only as a GM but as a coach

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

WOAT bytchmore: 10 points, 5 fouls
Dennis: 19 points and then benched two quarters later

Bud is a terrible front office guy but even his coaching has gone to shyt now

Crazy thing is that the Warriors haven't really played well @G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman this is probably a B-/C level game from yall correct?

Correct.

Get rid of Bud the GM first.

I'm glad you said it but there's a couple problems:

1. I don't think Bud is a bad coach. His rotations and blind loyalty to his guys aside I do think he's a decent enough coach. But Bud has GOT to relinquish his front office position. Get a real President of basketball operations (get rid of the bumbling, non comedic goof ball GM Wes Wilcox) and start fresh. But this product is stale and this team is uninspiring. Buds personnel decisions have led to that and he's gottta get outta his position and get a real basketball person in here to run the team

Why Dennis get benched?

My issue with him is that he is too stubborn and his rotations suck. Full disclosure, i follow the hawks but im a Celtics fan. They run the same system. They rarely get blown out. Their talent is about the same (before this year the Hawks had more). But the difference is that Brad Stevens has better instincts. He knows when to sit folks down, he knows how to ride the hot hand. Bud has an infatuation with Delaney and Baze. Anchor them nikkas to the bench. He runs off players like Louis Williams and Jeff Teague but LOVES Baze and Moose. Dude is a drunk idiot

The other thing is that the Hawks are probably the most active local team in the city, on social media, doing events, but none of that translates into the on court product. It's gotta be a real problem for them because the team has zero buzz around them locally and if they aren't careful is gonna become an afterthought behind the NFC Champion Falcons, up and coming Braves, Atlanta United last night

Hawks need to get it together

Tune into the postgame

None of us know including the announcers

I agree. His infatuation with WOAT is more troubling considering the contract and the fact they counted on him as a starter but he's been one of the worst SFs in the game. WOAT doesn't start on a halfway decent team but Bud is gonna ride with him no matter how poorly he plays. He's his guy but Bud ain't gonna sit WOAT. He does limit his minutes to 24-28 mins and wouldn't have put him back out there if Delaney doesn't get hurt but yea you make a good point. The WOAT situation is one of the worst personnel decisions GM Bud has made

This Dennis situation is getting close to being #2...

 

[AVXL]

So they're looking at some highlights from a few possessions where there was miscommunication between Wop and Das on a series of defensive miscues midway through the third. It didn't look too serious tho, just miscommunication that can happen in a game...guys arguing with each other where they are supposed to be on the floor. shyt looks harmless but maybe it's something deeper

 

[AVXL]

Bud on why Dennis was benched: "Coach's decision. We need to learn to play together and staying together and moving onto the next play"

Pretty vague reasoning...something deeper is goin on

 

[charmander]

i honestly feel like that's the main reason for our struggles

bud is a great coach, i'm not gonna sit here and shyt on bro because he's been nothing but good for us

but as a front office nikka, that nikka is fukkin trash bro on Allah that shyt is disgusting

he should just stick on what got his name hot before we turn on his ass on some

type shyt

schroder seem like a real nikka so he prolly stepped to bud's bytch ass and told him to stop playin

how my man got 19 in the first quarter and don't play but like 7 minutes in the 2nd half aint no injury or nothing

bud need to stop acting off emotions like a bytch

 

[AVXL]

Dennis deserves some blame here too tho

-late coming back from Germany after the All Star break

-Late for the team bus in Orlando

-Getting benched again tonight

Dennis doesn't deserve all the blame but I'm not giving him a complete pass, he's gotta man up and do what he needs to do for the squad

They just have the worst on court product.

Braves have the farm and the rookies.

Falcons got Julio and just went to the Super Bowl.

United is new.

Hawks tho, it's the best going nowhere team in the NBA
