    It’s easier to fire a coach than it is to fire players.

    Dude they fire him because he’s trash and second he’s rich too so don’t forget about that

    Sports in a marketing sense is a relief from social issues when they merge , sports lose thats why they want people to play ball and not be political . Its not about race …

    If he’s fired why Luke Walton is NOT FIRED!!

      Because Walton’s coaching record is way better than Pierce’s…

    Suspicious about what? You think the Hawks did this because they’re racist or something? Give me a break.

    Did Stephen A compare Lloyd Pierce playing career(literally knowones ever herd of) to Steve Nash (2 time mvp) come on man!!

    Mabey Stephen A thinks Eric Bienemy would be a could coach for the hawks…

    Stephen A what’s your take on only recieving one barbecue sauce for a 20pc box of Chicken McNuggets “I’m suspicious and alarmed”

    I didn’t even watch the video because I knew SAS would go with race. Reading the comments just confirms it…

    They don’t pay you to lose. You have to show improvement or the ax will fall. Further, he cut Trae off at the knee by not backing him over Steve Nash’s comments.

    Stephen As antennas telling him that Hawks players didn’t like Lloyd and wanted him out? Team still in the playoff chase even w/ their record so doing it now can help em stay afloat. Rather than waste a season. If players wanted him, he stays. Pretty simple. Could argue that you players opinion on coaches shouldn’t matter too much, that’s fair. But if he’s not the guy, doesn’t win, and the players don’t want him, there’s no reason to wait. Crazy too bc if it were a white interim coach then the narrative woulda been way worse

    The team was trash, stop with the victim mentality

    SAS doesn’t watch Hawks games. It has nothing to do with his activism. BTW it’s the Atlanta Dream, not the Storm.

    Gotta put some real players wit Trae young a superstar and or a real bonified all-star wit solid role players. Got development players now. They ‘re a like a good college team like the old hawks when Joe Johnson was there.
