plus, the balls today are synthetic, not like the ones you shot with back in the day... different ball, different playing styles, get up to date.

ownership group just wants to hire family and friends and increase the value of the franchise so they can cash out

no interest in putting a championship caliber product on the floor

but isn't a successful team more valuable?

not necessarily

attendance helps

Also,what say so or input does Peter Fegin have with the team?

[Chapter29]

The idea that Jon Horst is worthy of one of thirty NBA GM jobs in the entire world is

F U C K I N G

H I L A R I O U S.

When he mentioned the development of Thon as a positive my jaw literally dropped.

Not even close to as hilarious as it is that Kidd has a coaching job with zero coaching experience.

Ehh one was a box boy at FedEx the other was a HoF point guard.

So then neither qualify for their jobs. Being a basketball player is not being a coach. Kind of a big difference.

If you claim that the team is consistently being selfish on offense, it's up to you to run some **** plays to create ball movement. THAT'S WHAT COACHING IS.

Loved this quote
“Giannis, I think this is his fifth year. Just understanding he’s in a different environment, understanding being one of the best players in the world, that’s new."

Like WTH. Giannis has so much learning to do about being one of the best players in the world now. It is almost like saying he is one of the best players now but he is so new at being one of the best that he doesn't know how to capitalize on that and that is one reason they are not as good as they should be.

The same tool also said yesterday that when you get to 25 or 28 you learn to maybe trust your teammates more. So is he calling out Giannis who had the most assists and most assist opportunities? The same guy who has plummeted his own usage probably cause that is what he was asked to do to get his teammates more involved?

[DingleJerry]

I feel like he's probably on some pretty thin ice right now. But just in time we have a pretty cake schedule coming up for him to keep holding on. That said, if they lose several of these game they should be winning that could go a long way.

[0BobLobLaw0]

If Giannis doesn't play like a super LeBron the first 10 games of the year we'd probably have 4-5 more losses and Kidd may be gone already.

Looks like I was living in the past.
I remembered them switching to synthetic basket balls... Looks like they only did it for 2 months. :/
Maybe they are made with pig ears and eye.

Thanks for the video. I like the how it is made type programs. I highly recommend watching the one on how the Bugatti is made.

[emunney]

Clock is ticking but there's a lot of time left for Kidd imo. I would still be shocked if he were fired within the next 12 months. We'd have to miss the playoffs, which I don't think will happen, but if we do, I think Horst is probably also donezo and we do a major reexamination.

Yup. It's a pretty realistic assessment from a guy who does follow the Bucks, even if they're farther down his priority list. For what it's worth, Oates articles play out-state too - for example, this appeared in today's La Crosse Tribune. To me, it's a mark of the progressively thinner ice of support that Kidd and the Bucks FO are running on with the more casual fan.

I tend to agree, if we go throw anything like we did last January, there is no way he survives that again.

Jason Kidd has a theory! Don’t look at me, my players are stupid children, is his theory.

Not a good theory, if you ask me!

We're moving from "Bucks are underachieving" articles to "Kidd is the reason the Bucks are underachieving" articles. I like
