Is Mike Budenholzer the Next Great Coach in the NBA?

[atljonesbro]

Looking at this Hawks roster without Al Horford they really have no business being in the playoffs at all. They look to be about a 25 win team at best. Can we attribute this to great coaching by Budenholzer?

i havent watched enough hawks games this season to really break it down, but i do like how their offense looks. the ball movement is very reminiscent of the spurs.

VDN had a nice little overview of their offense during Gametime on NBAtv last night.

Hawks definitely overachivied. Al Horford's loss was a big hit, they were 3rd in the east at the time and still manage to make the playoffs without him (although East weakness tells something about it)

I think he did very well for a rookie coach.

I think he has done a great job @ coaching this year. The Hawks offense looks good, and they can shoot. I am a Pacers fan, but I can see the Hawks running this to a game 6 or 7 situation, and possibly win the series depending on which Pacers team decides to show up.

See you next year.

Yes. Serving as an assistant to Pop for 16 years I'm sure did wonders. I was hoping he'd be Pop's successor.

Bump to appreciate greatness.

I am the only one on this board that if Atlanta meet Miami next round, they could push the heat to 7 games. Budenholzer would run circles round Spoelstra, he run exactly the spurs system albeit with a different set of players. :confusedshrug:

Hawks are a young hungry team, but we still have to wait and see how they perform in a 7 game series.

Great ball movement...Fire Spo hire Budenholzer .

Now that I live in Atlanta and have gone to some games...I must say he definitely is putting a nice plan together for them. Really stressing ball movement and trying to make Teague a star. His defensive strategy is average, but without Horford he made some nice adjustments...especially giving Elton Brand crazy minutes. I think Atlanta will still struggle to bring in an elite FA because the fans are attrocious, but he will be a top 10 coach for the next 12-15 years.

You're the only one on this board who thinks it is possible for Atlanta to meet Miami next round, dense mufuka. :rolleyes:
