Coach bud got exposed by a first yr head coach last yr who had better defensive schemes to stop the MVP of the NBA.

Definitely deserved to be fired if he's shown up by a rookie coach

Imagine clowning a coach for losing in the conference finals so you can defend a coach who's failed to even get us to the conference finals.

At least Bud didn't blow a 3-1 lead in the second round before he could get there like a certain other coach did.

Unfortunately coach bud blew a 2-0 lead in the Eastern conference finals. With a much more dominant team and made questionable decisions in game 3 of that game which went to double OT. Outcoached by a rookie head coach. Lost 4 straight games. Not 1, not 2, not 3. 4. Four. Fo'

His Atlanta Hawks got swept by LeBron James despite winning 60 games


I think the bucks should maybe consider hiring Dave jorger as their head coach..I heard he's available.

Even being up 2-0 in the conference finals to begin with is better results than Doc's ever produced here.

You want to talk about dominant teams? Last year's Bucks were nothing compared to the Big Three Celtics, and Doc almost lost to the under .500 Hawks in the first round with that team.

I'll take Bud over Doc any day of the week.

Gee, I wonder how doc's run in the Eastern conference went. If only we had the data.

**** it though. Jorger is better than both of them. He's available!

Whats the difference between budenholzer and d'antoni? They both choke at the end. Amirite?!

Yeah, how could Bud ever compare to Doc's playoff resume of more blown 3-1 leads, blown series leads and home Game 7 losses than any other coach? Bud would have a ring too if he got to coach the '08 Celtics.

Would he? Coach bud has never even put another team in the position to force a game 7. But he has been put in multiple positions to be swept/backdoor swept In the weaker conference.

I hope the sarcasm isn't lost. I think coach bud is an amazing coach. I think he makes the bucks, the bucks but like every coach has their flaws.

I do wonder what would be the opinion of coach bud if he loses to a Miami or Celtics or something like that in the second round or even ecf.

We'll have to wait and see.

Finals or bust for them. Kawhi's not there, LeBron is not there. Kevin Durant is injured. Currently, they have the best Eastern conf player and the only Eastern conference player in the top 5.

Let me know when Malone is in his seventh year as the Nuggets' coach and still hasn't won anything. Seven years is an eternity in the NBA when you can't even get past the second round of the playoffs.

First or second round exit I’m sure Doc will be fired so it’s a nice pressure situation. Even a WCF appearance have to see how it plays out. Wouldn’t stress on it the franchise hasn’t shown that it’s stuck with Rivers.

He should have been fired years ago after the Houston series. I wish I was as confident as you are in this franchise being willing to make a coaching change if the playoffs don't go well.

Just for some perspective, these are just from today on the general board:

yeah i cant trust vogel in the playoffs. This dudes rotations are mind boggling


Pop exposing himself as a tired old hack once again. Decides to randomly put Belinelli in to end the third into the fourth with Forbes and guess what, Miami goes on a 13-3 run. Frustrating as hell watching your coach refuse to make obvious adjustments and continue to play trash


Lesson...coaching is quite the job :lol:

Nice try, Mr. Moderator. But this will never end, bro. Every thread will be poisoned with this crap. :lol: Forevermore.
