If Young doesn't change, however, and the next coach produces the same disappointing results, what then? Will Young ever buy into a role that asks him not just to concede some control (which he has proven willing to do with Murray), but actually to do something other than spatially spectate in these moments?


Firing McMillan is their first step in trying to make that happen. If you can't pull a top-10 offense, at a bare minimum, out of a team led by Trae Young, you've got to go. Atlanta is one of those teams that people who don't know any better like to say anyone could coach because, honestly, there's not much to what they do.Īsk yourself: What NBA-caliber coach couldn't stand on the sideline and watch Trae Young run a thousand pick-and-rolls while everyone else stands still? Throw in Murray for some one-on-one stuff, and you've got your Hawks offense, which, this season, qualifies as below average. They take and make fewer 3-pointers than just about every team in the league. McMillan is old school, which, to be frank, is just a euphemism for stubbornly or unimaginative, or both, and outdated. Outside of the 2021 honeymoon that just so happened to coincide with the roster getting healthy in a way Lloyd Pierce never enjoyed, McMillan has not come close to maximizing the considerable parts at his disposal. After what was, with the benefit of hindsight, a matchup-friendly and ultimately deceiving run to the 2021 Eastern Conference finals, the Hawks, despite their talented roster that last summer came to include Dejounte Murray, have been one of the more disappointing teams in the league for going on two years now.Ĭoach apologists are going to say McMillan is a scapegoat. He loves me just as I am, whether I'm little and needy or on my knees and begging for him.The Altanta Hawks fired Nate McMillan on Tuesday, and it was a long time coming. He encourages me to be little, but understands it's not something I can give him all the time.

As soon as I felt his arms holding me while I fell asleep in his lap, I was hooked. Working at a kink club might not have been my best move, but the tips make up for the torture of being faced with my fantasies every night. More often than not, that means I have to ignore my own desires, but she's worth it.
