Hotlanta Respect

Please everyone take notice that this year Playoffs involved eight of the sixteen coaches is Black, Now that's big homie the new Era is here .....it's about time they notice that black coaches will make a team mentally strong ang physically ready .

You should make a seperate post bout this. I am not sure I agree that a Black cach makes for a better prepared team BUT I certainly agree that it is a good thing to have that many minority coaches in a sport that is mostly minorities. I just don't know that the fact that their are two black coaches in this series has anything to do with celticsblog paying off a bet

just coz a guy is black dont make him sa better anything, tiant bout color

i thought it was about skill and passion, not about race.

You have hit up just about every blog with this comment. I don't get it.

THANK YOU! I was strolling around the yard yesterday and saw Sanders posted the same comment under almost every article. Striving for equality - and equal access to jobs is great. But how much does the race of the coach have to do with the performance on the court? Totally respect Sanders views. But this may not be the best place for them.

KatKat - you are always the voice of reason! Gotta love it.

gotta hamfd it to em, they are true professionals givin their fans their best, unlike those worthlees clowns in the mile high city

Waiting for your next 300...

Yup, I'll pay up. Not sure if it will be now or after the series, but at LEAST 300 words on Joe Johnson are coming soon.

Being a Hotlanta native, and having been a Hawks fan from the Dan Roundfield, Charlie Criss, John Drew, Eddie Johnson, Tree Rollins, and even the beloved Doc Rivers era. Does anyone realize the crap the Hawks have taken over the years for fielding such awful, boring, underachieving, teams? I am SO mad they're in the playoffs (and the Warriors are not). But I am also secretly SO happy they got the monkey off.
