He was one of the earliest to call for arenas being used as polling places.

But while he was really positive person for the Georgia community, obviously the Hawks not so good hired in 2018, Atlanta missed the playoffs in each of his two completed seasons.

但是，雖然他真的是喬治亞州社區的積極人士，但顯然老鷹隊在2018年沒有那麼好的僱用，亞特蘭大在他完成的兩個賽季中每個賽季都錯過了季後賽。

They are 10 and nine.

他們是10和9。

Right now, they've lost 11 of their last 15 games.

現在，他們已經輸掉了過去15場比賽中的11場。

如果你想對某人或某事指手畫腳，你就得對自己指手畫腳，嗯，你知道，我們都是這樣。

Uh, you know, Coach Pierce takes the hit for this, but we all play a part in him not being here today.

Well, let's see.

好吧，讓我們來看看。

The Hawks were bad last year.

老鷹隊去年的表現很糟糕。

Then they made a bunch of moves.

然後他們做出了一堆動作。

They traded for Capella.

They signed a bunch of people in free agency.

And we're expecting the Hawks to somehow be really good.

而我們期待老鷹隊能以某種方式成為真正的好手。

Despite all those things, Bogdan Bogdanovic is coming back very soon.

儘管有這些事情，博格丹-博格達諾維奇很快就會回來。

I bet Lloyd Pierce what I'd like to keep coaching a team when they're price off.

我和勞埃德-皮爾斯打賭，當他們價格下降時，我願意繼續執教一支球隊。

Off season acquisition came back.

淡季收購回來了。

But look, sometimes you just need a new voice, Their reports in the athletic and other places today that the Hawks players sort of had grown tired of Lloyd Pierce's voice.

但你看，有時你只是需要一個新的聲音，他們的報告在競技和其他地方今天，老鷹隊的球員有點已經厭倦了勞埃德皮爾斯的聲音。

Maybe that's true.

也許這是真的。

He is a straight shooter.

他是一個直接的射手。

He does not pull punches in the media or privately with his players, but I got news for you.

他不會在媒體上或私下裡對他的球員動粗，但我有消息要告訴你。

Nate McMillan doesn't either Nate McMillan is a hard ass.

Nate McMillan也沒有 Nate McMillan是個硬漢。

He's going to coach them hard.

他要狠狠地教他們。

And if they thought Lloyd Pierce was that way, Nate McMillan is going to be that way, too.

如果他們認為勞埃德-皮爾斯是那樣的人，那麼內特-麥克米蘭也會是那樣的人。

Sometimes you just need to make a change.

有時候，你只需要做出改變。

I don't think this was particularly fair to Coach Pierce.

我覺得這對皮爾斯教練不是特別公平。

I would have liked to see him coach the real team.

我希望看到他執教真正的球隊。

But this stuff happens all the time.

但這種事情經常發生。

I like you, said Rachel.

That stuff is gonna last.

這東西是要去持續。

He's going to keep going.

他要繼續前進。

He's not going to stop doing those things.

他不會停止做這些事情的。

Yeah, this one really hurt just because, as you said, you know, Zach Coach Pierce was on the, You know forefront, the frontlines, advocating for the players in the league and some of the, you know, recent hard moments.

是啊，這一次真的很受傷，只是因為，正如你所說，你知道，扎克教練皮爾斯是在，你知道的最前線，前線，倡導的球員在聯盟和一些，你知道，最近的困難時刻。

He did a tremendous job off the court with Atlanta.

他在亞特蘭大的球場外做了巨大的工作。

But when it comes to you know, on the court, of course, you know there are a few seasons since he's been hired in 2018, you know, they've been less than ideal, and we're also talking about a year where the New York Knicks find themselves forth in the East, and Trae Young was not named an All Star, which sort of has a compounding effect, you know?

但當它涉及到你知道，在球場上，當然，你知道自從他在2018年被僱用以來，有幾個賽季，你知道，他們一直不太理想，我們也在談論紐約尼克斯隊發現自己在東部提出的一年，特雷-楊沒有入選全明星，這有點有一個複合效應，你知道嗎？

Plus, you know, this is a team, as Zack mentioned, acquired a number of vets that were the hope to get this team to win.

另外，你知道，這支球隊，正如扎克所說，收購了不少老將，是讓這支球隊獲勝的希望。

But now you're in a situation where all of those things sort of feel like an avalanche that are just, you know, when when you're losing.

但現在你在一個情況下，所有這些事情有點像雪崩，只是，你知道，當你失去。

It just feels even worse when all those things aren't working in your favor.

當所有這些事情都對你不利的時候，感覺就更糟糕了。

So obviously, we all hope that Coach Pierce gets another opportunity, since he's such an amazing advocate and brings so much invaluable presence to this league.

所以很明顯，我們都希望皮爾斯教練能再獲得一次機會，因為他是一個了不起的代言人，給這個聯盟帶來了很多寶貴的存在。

And I would love to see what he can do with another scenario.

而我很想看看他能用另一種方案來做什麼。

But you know, the record sort of reflects, uh, itself.

但是，你知道，記錄有點反映，呃，自己。

Unfortunately, and the development of those players, I think have to be prioritized, especially when we're seeing other teams find ways to win an unconventional fashion, which I keep bringing up the Knicks.

不幸的是，以及這些球員的發展，我認為必須優先考慮，特別是當我們看到其他球隊找到了以非常規方式取勝的方法時，我一直提起尼克斯隊。

Look, Lloyd Pierce, very respected among his peers.

聽著 Lloyd Pierce 在同行中很受尊重

You heard that last night from other coaches around the league when they were asked about the situation, but ownership made it so clear, so so clear last off this past off season, even before that in a playoff berth, was expected by ownership.

你昨晚從聯盟的其他教練那裡聽到了這一點，當他們被問及這種情況時，但所有權讓它如此清楚，如此清楚地最後關閉這個過去的休賽期，甚至在此之前，在季後賽席位中，是由所有權預期的。

They felt like the time had been invested.

他們覺得時間已經投入了。

The money had been invested.

這筆錢已經投資了。

The acquisition.

購置。

Zack.

扎克

As you said, So this team not heading in that direction right now and we know the order of things.

就像你說的，所以這支球隊現在並沒有朝著這個方向發展，我們知道事情的順序。

The president, basketball operations, the GM they don't fire themselves, right?

總裁、籃球營運、總經理他們不會自己開除吧？

They fire the coach.

他們解僱了教練。

That is the first step.

這是第一步。

Always in these situations, we will have to see if that indeed causes a change here or whether there will be other, larger changes up the line, because I don't think ownerships goals or expectations.

總是在這種情況下，我們將不得不看看是否真的會引起這裡的變化，或者是否會有其他更大的變化，因為我不認為業主的目標或期望。

Those are not going to change.

這些是不會改變的。
