Family of four will be there then at the Hawks game at night. Hopefully it's a good sports day. Peaceful Thanksgiving all, squeeze someone you love, and, well, maybe even someone you don't.

Is brew's kid pissed they are playing on Chicago?


Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 11:19:22 AMA significant portion of Marquette's alumni base is from the Chicago area, myself included.  I think neutral court Chicago games against high-major teams are a really nice reward for the many loyal fans in that area. 

So is it about the best fan experience or the best fan experience for you personally?

That was a hell of a first quarter the wizards had vs the hawks. 8-8! Atlanta are 26th in defensive rating right now, that cannot be encouraging...

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on Today at 03:37:04 PMVery interesting sentence. It sounds so simple and direct, but I don't think it is. Please explain what the "team he has" is and why he should not turn them into "the team he wants." I'm not trying to give you a hard time. It's an honest question.


I'm not hawk, but I'll throw something out here ...

When I coach, I have an offensive system I like, as well as a full-court press I like to use. They were perfect for the conference-championship (middle school) team I coached. After a couple years as a HS assistant, I returned to MS level, though a far more competitive one. I really wanted that team to use my offense and press, but I learned fairly quickly that the personnel simply couldn't run the press, and they weren't very good at executing the offense, either. So I chucked the press - went with more of an half-court trap - and made numerous changes to the offense. I coached the team I had, not the one I wanted.

I'm interpreting what hawk said, at least in part, to Shaka still running a 3-heavy offense even though we're not a good shooting team, and a defense in which our 5 hedges 40 feet from the hoop even though it has mostly yielded poor results so far this season. Is he coaching the team he wants? Maybe.
