Game 42: Spurs @ Sixers 1/22 @ 7 pm ET Thread

The team was unwatchable the past two years. This year they are watchable. Don't care about record. This year's team is better for that reason alone.

I will not rest until Rivers is tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

Looks like he's headed for Milwaukee instead

Man, that is just too funny. You really can't make this stuff up.

What did Adrian do?

I dunno if I've ever seen a team play themselves this hard.

Rivers is the Mike McCarthy of the NBA. Won't go away despite being a terrible coach.

Has to be the first time a 1st year coach with a near .700 winning percentage was let go. Has to have something to do with Lillard is my guess.

The closest thing I can think of was James running Dave Blatt out of Cleveland when they had a similar record.

Paul Westhead after two solid seasons including an NBA championship.

Also Blatt

I'm sure it was something internal with Griffin. Who knows? Maybe he lost his cool in an argument or something. I've never seen anything like this before, but I can't say that I really care. It's Milwaukee, let them hire Rivers and get the popcorn ready.

[Jailblazers7]

Griffin’s firing felt inevitable after the Terry Stott drama to start the season & Giannis openly ignoring his substitution decisions. I just find it strange that Giannis clearly undermined him so quickly when he obviously gave the green light to hire him.

[Murray_17]

The players also forced Griffin to go back to the Bud defensive scheme after 10 or so games, for some reason he wanted a switch heavy scheme which was never gonna work with Brook as center and dame on the perimeter.

But, to be fair to the Bucks, if they knew they were gonna trade for Dame they would probably hire a different coach after firing Bud
