frankthetank966 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Really disappointed with Bud tonight. The Hawks were being out rebounded and how did he answer? By playing Carroll as a 4 most of the game. There is a near 7-footer on the bench that signed a 10-day contract. He should have been given more than 3 minutes of playing time. And for the limited time he did get, he had 3 rebounds! Even more so Schröder got no playing time again. If he is going to sit on th bench he should be sent to the D League. How much did John Jenkins learn fom keeping seats warm last year? On top of the poor substitutions, he clock management was awful. I must say, I miss Larry Drew's creative play calls at the end of games. He makes Bud look like a rookie! One can argue Scott got fouled on his three but I'll say that was not by design. The play was dead 2-3 seconds on the inbound. It is really tough to know where this team is going. They should have pulled this one out. Instead Teague forced 2 silly turnovers with 30 seconds in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Agreed.....especially with the Jenkins comparison to Dennis. Dennis is just rotting away and hawk fans want to make excuses for him not deserving to get minutes, which is bogus.Also the Carroll over Pittman is just plan out dumb. I'm starting to get sick of coach bud and I really wanted him here. I watched Pittman when he got his chance and he can easily be effective...I'm wondering if this spurs way is just a joke in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post macdaddy Posted February 26, 2014 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 How many guys over the last 10 years have we complained about "rotting away" on the bench that actually amounted to anything? I can think of zero. Not that Dennis won't amount to anything but there is a method to developing players. It may require patience when the player is 19 and in the nba but I doubt very seriously that Bud is trying to waste our top draft pick. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Popular Post Peoriabird Posted February 26, 2014 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Now we have Bud haters! LOL! I find it very strange that even though the majority of the message board was in favor of the team being in the lottery, the message board adds another person to their hate list with every team loss. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye242424 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 It's not Bud. This is a team cursed with injuries and missing our best player for the year, and we're still in the playoffs.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Vol4ever Posted February 26, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) If you want to criticize Bud that is ok, but imo that is not why the Hawks lost the game, the Hawks lost the game because of execution on the court and they were undermanned. Teague made a dumb play by stepping out of bounds, Scott was definitely fouled by Noah at the end and the refs missed it. Bud is going to be an outstanding coach in this league and if he had the players that Jeff Horncek has in Phoenix he would be the rookie coach of the year. Be a little patient, Bud is one of the few bright spots in this organization. Edited February 26, 2014 by Vol4ever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm a huge fan of Bud, he deserved some criticism last night, but to start a negative thread about him is almost blasphemous. The Bulls usually surrender 90 points, not 103, and this is to NBA teams with an actual respectable scorer in uniform. That man got more rings than my mama. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Bud be better? Sure. A rookie head coach with half a season under his belt with a depleted roster that has the team competing night in night out and this is what you complain about.

Moderators macdaddy Posted February 26, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 This is a forest for the trees type thing. The truth is that even with a team totally depleted by injuries there isn't anyone in the east better than us except Indy and the Heat. The fact that Bud has these guys motivated and playing this hard in our situation should make him a friggin hero around here. I mean we've got PGs at the wing, wings at the 4 and a bench full of empty chairs and it takes some bailout calls for a team with some of the best defensive bigs in the game to beat us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a learning curve.No matter how long he's been around, he's still a first time head coach - there is NO spinning that fact!

No matter how long he's been around, he's still a first time head coach - there is NO spinning that fact! Exactly. Add in that there has been no season before now that Bud has been in control of timeouts, substitutions, play calling, etc. and we should have posters recognize that he is a rookie. Of course he makes mistakes, just like a rookie. And if we make Bud puns then I think we should either go with Spicoli: or Spuds MackKenzie: But I'm open to other puns, and This Bud's For You is pretty good. Just not my favorite.

Against those 5 teams, the Hawks are 4 - 8 vs those teams. 4 - 1 before the Horford injury. 0 - 7 after the Horford injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
