Nate McMillan pls do us all a favor in RESIGN!!
What the hell does Bogi have on Nate for him to be leaving Bogi in in crunch time every damn game??? CC who has been trash all game put in for OO in crunch time.
Nate McMillan has broken me for like the 100th time. Winnable ass game in the fourth down 8.
We actually played decent for like 70 percent of this game . The second and end of the 4th we sucked. Not too mad at the result even with Trae there is no way we win this. This is the toughest regular season game we’ll play all year schedule wise. No one beats Denver in this spot. What is annoying is watching our awful offensive system. At least we came out of this road trip 2-2 and actually playing pretty well for most of it
That 5 game winning streak ruined the season like it was always clear this was a lost season with Nate McMillan at the helm and he’s getting fired the moment the clock hits 0 in the 4th game of that playoff sweep. So at the very least the team could’ve had some decency to get a decent lottery pick but nah gotta get that 42-40 season
OO was giving Jokic hell, while Capela got sonned all game. Guess who Nate wanted to close the game with
we’re fine y’all, 2nd night of a b2b, in denver altitude, with our best player out, against the best team in the league
That game was dumb af — bogi my boy. You sucked ass today. Get right
we were at least competitive first 30 games when Trae was out, now we have somehow gotten worse on defense with him out, literally a turnstile. also another game where only two players know how to play basketball in clutch situations if Trae’s feet aren’t on the court…
Nate lost us this game.
I can’t imagine the level of mental fortitude needed by these players to play with this coach lol. They are really playing against their coach and the other team and also the refs today.
nate mcmillan will be coaching in china soon
Our supposed “good lineup” with JC Capela and Dejounte totally sold our close game. Fuck this team
This is just an observation but when Trae sits out cause he’s got bubble guts the team still gives up 120 points a game just an observation though
I wish Nate simply played the hot hand. AJ hand it tonight Bogi did not. So play AJ more. It’s literally that simple
AJ and OO being taken out was criminal
Pls Quinn Snyder answer your phone this summer
JC took 5 shots btw, I want nate gone. And I dont care that trae was out, that game was within our grasp to win
We chose Bogi over Huerter.
Just think about that for a moment. Let it really sink in. And I don’t want to hear SHIT about Red Velvet’s defense. Bogi is giving us 35 percent shooting on one end and can’t move his fucking feet on the other.
We don’t know how to utilize Collins—he puts up another triple single.
AJ puts up great shooting numbers again… gets replaced by Bogi.
OO locks up Jokic, provides a spark… gets pulled.
JJ shows potential that will never be developed.
Our max player is out again with an unspecified Illness (load management) in a huge game where momentum of the win streak is important to keep to get us in the fucking play offs.
I’m so sick of this. I’m so sick of the Hawks just making the most ass-backwards decisions. Let’s either try to be good or just suck. Not this middling shit.
Bogi and Nate had a parlay going tonight because no double teams at all on Jamal Murray or pressure
Back to back in Denver is just about the hardest game on the schedule. Also were down Trae. Stayed in it until later in the fourth. Honestly, that’s about as good as you can hope for.
Before I say this, I’m fully on the Fire Nate train. I could point to many things tonight but I won’t waste your time because you guys know. With that said, back to back in Denver is brutal. They’re the best team in the West, the altitude, and we didn’t have Trae. I thought the guys tried hard and cut it close but that’s a good team over there. Brush it aside and win the next game.
I told my friend that Dejounte was better than Jamal… He acted like I was crazy. So of course this happened
I get that there are no moral victories, but we played a close game against a REALLY good team on the second night of a back to back without Trae. This outcome was fine.
Eh it kinda sucks because you wonder what would have been with Trae in. At the very least, they could have had threatened a bit more.
That said, the trio of JJ, AJ, and OO have been amazing. The minutes those three had together singlehandedly brought us back in the game. I wouldn’t be mad to see us play JC and CC less for the young guys. JC especially looks just lost out there without Trae to spoonfeed him
Was Trae out with Swol Bussie syndrome again?
One thing I have learned since DJ joined the hawks. He isn’t the elite defender I thought he was when he was playing for the Spurs.
“Heavy Legs” “Didn’t establish our defense” what else did i miss from Nate’s post game interview?
This honestly was scheduled loss. End of a back to back game against Denver is brutal for most teams. Still doesn’t give Nate a pass of what he was doing out there when the game was within reach. AJ, JJ, and OO was handling shit out there and working hard. Most coaches would reward their guys for that effort but NOPE NOT NATE. “WE GOTTA GET OUR VETS OUT THERE.” He’ll watch the kids not get a board for one possession and take them out only for Clint, JC, and Bogi to let an 8 point lead end up being a 20 point lead. It’s moronic at this point. He preach all this philosophy shit like “treat the game the right way and it’ll pay you back” well how about coach the right way and maybe you would be able to keep your job. Bozo.
lmao it’s hilarious how quick some of yall are to turn on players sometimes
Kev for the season: 15/3/3 on 47/40
Bogi for the season: 15/3/3 on 43/37
Kev last 10: 12/3/3 on 46/31
Bogi last 10: 12/2/4 on 43/38
Obviously Bogi was bad today and fucked up against Portland but he really hasn’t been any worse than the player who yall keep saying “wE dEcIdEd tO kEeP bOgI oVeR hIm”.
All this talk about Bogi not doing shit since the two weeks coming back from injury is absolute horse shit. He’s had his ups and downs as has everyone else on this team
Nate has no rotation flexibility, the oo,jj,aj trio contributed to the score run by 8 points at the end of the 4th quarter, and again jc and cc ruined the game. And don’t put djm and cc,jc together, Their chemistry doesn’t match at all.
I also just wanna point out that we literally get stuck with the most garbage officiating I’ve ever seen its getting exponentially worse every game
