Everyone you said is spot on.
This team has many holes.
I don't think stan is some great coach but i dont think he is the worst either.
Next year will tell us what we need to know.
If things go bad next year he is gone.

Next year is going to write the story, barring some sort of catastrophic injury scenario(which lets be honest, has like a 65% probability of happening given our cursed history).
At the same time, Griff and Langdon need to step up. To me this offseason will be as big or a bigger indictment of them.
The roster around BI and Zion has to get more complimentary. We need another playmaking guard(maybe NAW, maybe Kira, but either way we probably need a vet as well), we need shooters, and we ideally need a 4/3 defensive stopper that can space.
It’s a lot of holes to fill and guys we need to get out of to fill them, which also speaks to how Griff has so far mismanaged aspects of the roster to this point.

there's a saying that coaching in the nba is 15% about the x's and o's. the rest is simply motivating and managing personnel.
Sometimes a guy just sucks at that, and the team lacks the effort most nights
Sometimes a guy does something, or continues to do things that rub guys the wrong way and eventually leads to the team no longer believing in him or wanting to play hard for him.
Sometimes the player personnel just sucks.
I know our roster isn't some world beater, and we have glaring holes, but i know Zion isn't an "i'm not going to try hard" kind of guy. Based on everything you read about BI's offseasons, he doesn't seem like that guy either. Both of their play on the court at times tells you different. We have guys like Hart and Adams (and Redick) who were there to make sure the effort level was up, and pushed others to do so, so it's not like we didn't have some veteran voices to get people to try hard.
I simply think this team doesn't relate to SVG. They don't listen to him, and they don't care about doing what he says b/c they don't believe it will work. I think they gave it their best, it hasnt' worked, they don't like it, they don't believe in it, and that has all made the effort on the court reflect that at times.
The Hawks were sitting at a 112.5 defensive rating this year before firing their coach. Good for 22nd in the league.
Since they fired him, they have the 11th best defense at 110.7
Their offensive rating went from 112.7 to 115.6.
They have the third best record in the league since firing their coach, 20-8. They were 15-20 before firing him. That's a ridiculous turn around just by getting rid of the coach.
I mean it's not like the team changed other than Rondo/Lou swap. Hell they actually had a ton of people hurt when the change happened. Hunter has been out for quite some time.
