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

That from the 2019 season (60 wins + Giannis' 1st MVP) thru 2024, the Bucks will likely still have just one Finals appearance in those 6 years, is a bad look given how formidable a regular season team they've been almost every year.

Now, also given that Giannis won a title in that one Finals appearance + is in a small market team that no one ever expected to win anything + has no stanbases parading him as a future top 3 GOAT, he'll likely remain teflon don status thru it all, esp since (to be fair) he still plays hard and puts up numbers. But damn, it's always something with MIL.

Which is why it's always goofy that posters insisting on saying that Bud shouldn't have gotten fired as all of those failures happened under his watch.

Bringing in Doc has also made it easier for the GM to escape blame as well considering the current state of the roster is all on him as well. People like to shyt on Lacbo and bring up his poor drafting/asset mismanagement and how he's fukked over Steph's tenure, when Horst is arguably just as bad if not worse.

Watch the excuses Doc comes with he's a MASTER at that

"Well we had to travel from Milwaukee to Chicago we're carrying a heavy load here"

Unfortunately for Bud, the harsh reality is they underachieved so often/badly before and after 2021 that it's hard to credit him with 2021 given the favorable circumstances of that title run.

And also, with Dame... he just gotta be better. Doc ain't shyt, sure, roster not optimal, sure, whatever the offensive system is, sure, but you supposed to be orbiting top 10 in the league and the KG to Curry's Tim Duncan as far as narratives went these last few years.

It's funny that their record with Doc is but their season was always headed this way
I said it from the start they did not actually look anywhere near their record this year. They failed the eye test and feasted on a weak schedule

They doubled down on an aging roster and the Dame move was basically a hail Mary to get Giannis to sign an extension.

Also Dame has been subpar this season, especially since the start of 2024. Efficiency in the toilet and no consistency at all. Obviously him being so horrible on defense hurts but that was always gonna be an issue. He needs to start holding up his end of the bargain offensively.
I'm not sure he should be an all star at all let alone starter

 

[King Poetic]

This is beyond coaching.

Dudes have no interest in playing defense

U letting bum teams get 30 points a quarter on you

They didn't really have a choice in the matter because the GM had fukked up all future assets and flexibility.

I still don't get why they don't give Beauchamp any meaningful run and seeing what they have with him considering that roster needs all the youth they can get. Hell, I even mentioned a while ago that they should take a flyer on Hayes and send him down to the G-League and see if he can figure it out.

boston 49ers gonna make the Finals again right

It's all Dame's fault.

They’ve actually played better defense. They’re no longer in the mid 20s in defensive rating.

Their problem is if Dame isn’t scoring 25, they lose. If he does, they win.

Until he sprained his ankle cause KD undercut him, Middleton was playing really well as of late.

meh who cares
its better to win 130-124, 142-130 than to lose 113-110, 114-106

Playing better defense but losing
