00:00I'm sorry, I'm not saying everything is Quinn Snyder's fault,
00:03but it's enough that I would fire him if I'm at Atlanta
00:06as I head into one of the most important off-seasons
00:10that this franchise has had in some time.
00:13And it's amazing, Kevin, when you think about Atlanta,
00:19they go from a team that we had high expectations for this season,
00:23they trade Trey, start over, 19-3 down the stretch,
00:29raise the ceiling.
00:30And, folks, I want to make sure people understand this.
00:34Atlanta picked the Knicks.
00:37That's the matchup they wanted.
00:40So, when you get that, and it's almost like, Kevin,
00:46they got their soul taken from them in Game 4.
00:51Because Game 5 was pretty non-competitive as well.
00:54But for you to go home, and forget the 61 points in the second half,
01:0256, you were down 25 after the first quarter.
01:09OG and Anobi had more points than you did.
01:12You had 10 turnovers.
01:16That is lack of effort.
01:17That is lack of focus.
01:19That is lack of coaching.
01:21And when that happens, all the goodwill that came out of Atlanta
01:26down the stretch, Kevin, literally got flushed down the toilet.
01:29But Atlanta's got an interesting off-season.
01:32You're absolutely right with that pick that they have through to New Orleans
01:36and Milwaukee.
01:37A couple things they need to do.
01:39They need to make sure they re-sign Kaminga,
01:41who was a valuable resource off the bench.
01:45You've got to retain C.J. McCollum, but he can't be the guy.
01:49I think he became the guy.
01:50The Knicks locked him up, and then they couldn't do anything else.
01:53Okay?
01:53You've got to get more adults in the room, veteran guys that are tough guys
01:58that can look at a team and say, this is unacceptable.
02:01And then they've got to look at Zachary Richerche and say,
02:05either we've got to find a way to develop this kid,
02:07or we've got to get rid of him before so we can get something else.
02:11Because that kid, as a number one draft pick, or number two draft pick,
02:15what he did and what he is not is an indictment on the franchise
02:20and the coaching staff.
02:21They've got to find a way to unlock this kid.
02:24It's too much talent, Kate, up.
02:26They've got to find a way to unlock this kid.
02:28And if they can't, they've got to move him before his value drops any lower.
