Did an incredible job of taking a team that's frankly not that talented to incredible heights. Good luck against the Cavs when you meet them. Most of the world is rooting for you.
Tool an 8th seed to the number 1 seed in 1 year? Yeah I'd say it's most deserved. Isn't he a former assistant of coach Pop?
It's bizarre watching the polar opposite career trajectories of Pop's pupils vs. Phil's pupils. To their credit, I think some of Phil's guys have gotten raw deals thus far. Bud definitely deserved this. He has the Hawks playing great team basketball this year. No egos, no superstar. They all bought in and give their all on both ends of the court. Watching them move the ball and play the right way is so much more enjoyable to watch that that trash Doc is promoting in LA.
He's getting only 2 million a year and his contract expires next summer... back up the trucks!!!! $$$$
