Really curious what the Bucks do in the offseason. Clearly they’re not going to flip a switch and become a juggernaut in the postseason if they’re struggling with two of the worst teams in the NBA back-to-back.

After a ECSF loss, what do you do with this roster? Dame has not been good and doesn’t appear to be all that enthralled with being in Milwaukee, Lopez is old, Middleton’s breaking down… you can’t really improve the roster and you can’t break it down and rebuild. Tough spot
get under the 2nd apron, which means probably letting Portis go

at this point they should be scared to death of anyone but they might end up with philly in the first round

Just a loser franchise making loser moves.

Which is funny because they did win a championship few years back. Yet still looking like losers.

Doc gotta know some nba secrets :lupe:

I have a feeling he stays getting hired because he's soft on his players, like Adrian Griffin must have said or did something that finally pissed off Giannis. And Bucks being a small market team just did exactly what their star players want. This is likely Giannis and Dame picking Rivers.

Agreed.

You could see early on in the season that Giannis wasn't being respectful with Coach Griffin. There were a few games where he was acting up every time he was being told something by Griffin. Which I didn't like seeing. So in the same way they're cool with paying his trash brother to be a 6'7" cheerleader on the side for a few seasons, they'll definitely toss a perfectly effective coach if Giannis complains about dude. He's always threatening to leave, so they're being held hostage by him and his wack ass demands.

They have open road to conference finals and they are trying their best to fukk it up. Giannis isn't the humble guy that the media tried to portray. Why did they fire coach Bud then, if he didn't like working with Griffin so much? It makes no sense. Bad communication between him and team management?

Team is in win now mode, they fire the coach, hire the next guy, play half of the season successfully, then fire him and hire yet another coach, this time someone who has no time and no sense on how to make the Bucks champions, if that's what they are trying to accomplish.

I guarantee you when Bucks lose, Rivers will be throwing everyone under the bus outside of Giannis and Dame. It's probably how he got the job. And Giannis feels like he's accomplished everything so he can now tell everyone what to do. He ain't Michael, he ain't LeBron.

This.

Been saying for well over a decade Jrue is one of the most underrated players of all time. The man can defend the 1-3 at an elite level and is more important than the points Dame Lillard can score for you.
His offense in the playoffs always sucked for Milwaukee and he just got destroyed on defense his last series against Miami
