what is happening

 

[EpochLink]

He must’ve done something very bad that caused him to get fired.

They are 30-13, something probably internal

 

[Terry Yake]

well that's odd. wasn't he giannis's choice too?

i wonder if he was just impossible to work with, considering the way terry stotts resigned as one of his assistants before the season even began

but lol @ bringing in doc. enjoy blowing a 3-1 lead in the playoffs

Bucks fans frantically searching for apology flowers and chocolates in hopes Mike Budenholzer accepts and comes back before management hires Doc Rivers

 

[HisIceness]

He must of f***ed up somehow. That's crazy.

Why on earth anyone would hire Doc Rivers is beyond me. Dude is overrated. They're better off re-hiring Bud or something.

Speaks to the talent on that roster given they're 30-13 yet apparently Terry Stotts walked on Griffin and they allegedly stopped playing his defensive scheme after 10 games. Yet him getting canned while the likes of Jason Kidd and Darvin Ham still have jobs leads me to believe there has to be more to this.

Fire him if you must, but for the love of god don't f***ing replace him with Doc.

why

 

[Jack Straw]

Just the NBA doing NBA things.

The Bucks are 30-13 and entered Tuesday night's games No. 2 in the Eastern Conference; that's the best winning percentage for a team that fired its head coach during a season since David Blatt with the Cavaliers in 2015-16.

Now, now, hopefully Screamin A Smith avoids talking about how race had everything to do with this firing.

 

[Terry Yake]

hiring rookie HCs to coach teams with title aspirations will never make sense to me. same exact thing in LA with the lakers/darvin ham

passing on nick nurse for griffin was a major f*** up

Doc Rivers again, why?

 

[Breakers]

This is pretty on par for Wes Edens. My brother worked with him.

Soooo impulsive

I think they brought Giannis into the process and he signed off on it, but I don't think he was 'his choice'

i remember reading that giannis specifically preferred that they hire griffin and of course, the bucks weren't going to say no with giannis's extension looming

Man, Doc Rivers gets a lot of mileage out of 2008.

 

[Karterthadon]

Nick Nurse was the prize catch last summer.

There were reports of Bobby Portis absolutely losing it on this dude at practice awhile back. When veterans like Portis turn on coaches, it's a wrap.

Yup.

Incredibly overrated coach. Pierce, KG and Ray Allen should have won more than 1 title.

Looks like a tic tac toe board
