Cluesless trapping, no communication and zero attention to detail. Looked like a quasi-quit. Where were you when the Giannis era ended?

The game is a combination of talent and coaching. What percentage of each is debatable. But we are clearly lacking in both. Doc is an abomination. And he can take his defensive genius Buckner with him. We have the Joe Barry of the NBA.

When asked to consider what makes Buckner a strong defensive coordinator, Rivers quickly rattled off three main characteristics.

“Being organized, knowing exactly what you’re supposed to do and holding everybody accountable,” Rivers said.

And while on the outside, fans may only be able to see Buckner throw his hands up in the air after a mistake, Bucks players confirm Buckner is doing plenty to articulate his vision on the floor.

“I mean, he’s gonna correct you. He’s not going to let anything slide,” Wright said. “So, in practices, if anybody messes up, he’s going to correct them because he’s not afraid to coach us. And I feel like the more he does that, the quicker we’re going to get what he wants.”

“He brings like a certain toughness, a certain ideology,” Gary Trent Jr. said. “(He’s a) former player. He was pretty solid on the defensive end during his time. So just bringing what he knows and what coach wants us to do and try to formulate that all in a plan to make it work.”


And for the love of God do not make Ham the next coach. Or any of the other assistants for that matter.

In "real life" I purge all negative people from my life. They are toxic. They will drag you down. We all know people like that. Sports are just games, completely unimportant in the scheme of things. A diversion. I try to shrug off losses. I have plenty of dumb hot takes and at the end of the day it's just a game. But I can't complain about the negativity on this board. It's 100% warranted. We're here because we're Bucks fans. We may disagree on the solutions but we are all miserable with this team.

Just get this season over with, hopefully make some big changes and recharge over the summer.

End of rant, sorry to ramble on.



I'm also one to distance myself from negative people or toxic environments...

I don't think its this board as much as it's been the product on the court. From watching 70+ games a season usually in the f'ng morning since the giannis era took off, to now I just couldn't watch many games this season. It's not been good for my mental well-being. And I know I made the right choice.

I have no answers but this is a trash team to watch and it shouldn't be that bad.

personally im just ready for something different....really different. i was labeled the eternal optimist when we were winning 30-40 games a year. honestly as a fan....im sure i had more fun than this team the last two years. back then you at least had a sense of what the issues were. im not sure now were even discussing the right stuff. i sure as **** dont know. all i can say is if you arent willing to put all options on the table you might not be thinking clearly either

Doc started this game with Prince defending Trae despite having Rollins also starting lmao. This team only has themselves to blame for their demise.

At least we get to watch AJ Johnson develop for the next 3-5 at the very least. He seems fun!

If Rivers has really entered #FireKidd territory that's the headline.

How many #FireDoc tweets would it even take before media pick up?

Honestly impressed with how spectacular a coaching failure Doc is currently authoring. Nothing like seeing it in person to realize how much of a fraud this dude’s been for the last 15-years of his career.

Yeah I'm usually "it's an insufferably long season, there will be ups and downs" but I can't take it anymore. Basketball is a tremendous sport to see live. I live 15-20 minutes from the arena. And this season I will be going to the fewest games in a decade.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

It'd be so amazingly gutless for this FO to not can Doc before the end of the season, to see if that changes enough. It may well not, but there's literally nothing else to do, & there have been many tangible ways he's hurt us these past 2 seasons. There has to be a breaking point.

Yup. And that was either Buckner's idea or he condoned it. Either way he can go too.
