byron scott fired
January 27, 2004 at 07:27PM View BBCode
do u think that he deserved to get fired. personally i think that he shouldnt have been fired yet. the nets were on a 5 game slide before the blow out of boston and were blown out by miami. they r only 22-20. so i think that they should have given him alittle more time but if the ship wuznt turned around then yea fire him.

So does Kidd hold the league record for two-faced backstabbing yet? Definitely in the running...

And now it looks like the Boston coach quit. That means that the Eastern Conference coach with the longest run with his current team is... Terry Stotts. He is the coach of the Hawks. The NBA's worst team! This is cracking me up.

i really dont know about kidd and scott's relationship. i mean kidd doesnt seem like the kind of player that would have a big problem with a coach. he looks to pass first and stuff like that so he isnt a selfish player, and he takes poor kids for newark shopping for christmas gifts so he probably isnt a bad guy, but that could be a publicity stunt thing. but i sure as hell dont believe a word the media says so who knows.

The rumor is Doc will come in and be GM and coach, but we have to get new ownership first. What a screwup franchise!

Every coach in the East has been fired or quit except Stotts, and yet Stotts is still the coach of the Hawks. It's no wonder I live in Atlanta, have free tickets to an upcoming game, and am still not sure I even want to go.The rumor is Doc will come in and be GM and coach, but we have to get new ownership first.

Hard to say with the Hawks if they'll keep their coach or not, cause it really doesn't seem to matter what they do, the fans will never come, they're doomed in Atlanta...

The same will be true for the Braves, if Sheurholtz doesn't start building teams that will win in the post season very soon, we're gonna stop going to Braves games whether they win the division or not. unless there is a very tight race this year it will be the lowest attended season in Turner Field history.
But the real problem is the ownership. The same group owned the Hawks, Thrashers, and Braves. So the same mentality went throughout the organization. The Braves have told the fans in atlanta that the last few years have been great sucesses. They said that if we weren't happy with getting dropped in the postseason after winning the division for the 11th straight time we weren't real baseball fans.
Are you guys satisfied winning the division and losing in the playoffs every season in SD?
The Thrashers will make the playoffs this year, the fans will come out to watch and support and cheer. Why? New ownership will treat the fans with some respect.
The Hawks will suck, no one will come, and AOL will still be trying to sell the team in 6 months.
The Braves will win their division, with the lowest attendance since the new building, and Sportscenter anchors will lament the lack of true fans in Atlanta because it is an easy target.
If we don't let them know we are unhappy with our wallets, what should we do?

Everybody likes to say Atlanta has horrible fans, but it is a terrific sports town. Part of the problem is that so many people from out of town move into Atlanta, and are already fans of another team. There aren't that many homers. We had to put up with a GM for 11 years that made the worst 1st round draft picks in the world. The only way we finally got rid of the guy was to stay away from the arena.The same will be true for the Braves, if Sheurholtz doesn't start building teams that will win in the post season very soon, we're gonna stop going to Braves games whether they win the division or not. unless there is a very tight race this year it will be the lowest attended season in Turner Field history.

Hawks are simply worthless, and always have been.

Hard to win once you get to the playoffs, not matter how good you are (see the Yankees that last 3 years). Braves fans should be happy.Hawks are simply worthless, and always have been.

only time they were much good was when they had steve smith and mookie blaylock.

Here in Chicago when the Cubs lost that game 6 most of us fans could physically feel our heart being torn in half in our chests, the wind was knocked out of us, and all we could do is hopelessly stare off into space. True fans live and die with their teams. Atlanta fans seem only too willing to ignore their teams until they do well, and even then, they better win it all or they stop caring again.
Mind you, we only have the Braves to test that theory with, but nevertheless...

There are good Atlanta fans, I mean, there are true fans in every city. But in Atlanta there seems to be a general apathy towards there teams. The Braves didn't make the world series again, eh, oh well. That seems to be how every Atlanta fan reacts.Here in Chicago when the Cubs lost that game 6 most of us fans could physically feel our heart being torn in half in our chests, the wind was knocked out of us, and all we could do is hopelessly stare off into space.
