Milwaukee Bucks have fired HC Adrian Griffin, sides working on a deal to make Glenn “Doc” Rivers their next Head Coach.

wasnt the bucks defense trash when they won the title?

They had the best DRTG in the 21 playoffs(no surprise there)

 

[Guile]

a coach will take that job...but a lot of coaches will think that it's bush league...and giannis might be the guy ya'll said lebron was

How many of those was his team favored to win before the series?

Only Clippers against the Rockets, Clippers against the Nuggets and 76ers against the Hawks stands out. The rest of those series, they were supposed to lose and overacheived. In the case of Clippers vs Rockets, 76ers vs Hawks and 76ers vs Celtics last year, you could argue his stars didn't show up when it mattered.

I’m sorry but if your team is up 3-1 or 3-2 in a series you have very little excuse outside of injuries to not seal the deal. At that point underdogs and favorites matter little.

It can’t always be everyone else’s fault especially when the same thing happens over 20 years on 4 different franchises

Doc has had an inordinate amount of tough breaks as a coach.

Chris Paul flopping for a call and turning it over against OKC and costing them the series in 2014.

Josh Smith and Corey Brewer shooting out of their minds in the 4th quarter of game six in 2015 with Harden on the bench.

The 3-1 lead in The Bubble against Denver.

Ben Simmons quitting against the Hawks.

Embiid NEVER coming through against Boston.

You can say Doc is the constant but I feel some of that is out of his control.

The rest I'll let you skate because I don't feel like arguing, but the bolded was 100 PERCENT Doc's fault based on the lineups he was putting out on the floor.

Man yall gotta stop bringing race into this shyt especially when they replaced him with another black coach. This website lame as fukk sometime man

 

[Don Homer]

More like Dog Rivers. nikka was dirty mackin’

 

[Rekkapryde]

Have you watched them? They won't win a thing with the kinda defense they're playing.

Dem nikkaz are trash defensively. 100% agree.

Thought they shoulda hired Doc from the jump


I mean dem nikkaz are ATTROCIOUS.


But Dame about to get that coach killer label.

 

[areohbee824]

Giannis and Dame Lilliard, couple of coach killers, welcome to the club

It is good to replace with another black coach no doubt, but firing a dude after 45 games and the 2nd best record in the league. Sorry fam, but I highly doubt a cac coach gets dismissed that quick in the same situation.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Monty Williams still got a job tho

that contract alone gets him at least 2 full seasons.

 

[Don Homer]

wasnt the bucks defense trash when they won the title?

They had the best defensive rating in the 2021 playoffs

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Nasty work

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Breaking. 30-13 record, Black coaches really on a short leash.





UPDATE:

Saying this when doc next up is funny

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

If the Bucks were going to fire Griffin, then they probably should have done it a while ago as their remaining schedule is brutal to only now have to integrate abother new coach and scheme in the process.

Sonics fire coach Bob Weiss

Jerry Tarkanian fired as head coach of the San Antonio Spurs after 9-11 start in 1992

Two cacs who were fired well before the 45th game of the year.



Them nikkas in win now mode. They fired Bud..a championship winning coach & tried Griffin. Clearly it’s just not a good fit. Can’t blame them for that.
