Nothing wrong with wanting better mental health and wanting Jabari benched. Not sure why those are mutually exclusive. Look for any excuse you guys want, but Jabari is focused on Jabari and that’s it.

Coaching staff is terrible.

Jabari is playing terribly and approached the issue terribly.

I don't get why people are surprised both can coexist. Certainly chances are there is correlation between them and even though in this case correlation may imply causation (terrible coaching staff => Jabari plays badly) it does not mean that the circumstances do not reveal aspects about Jabari's game and personality that the Bucks should take seriously into account.

Any chance for a shot at Liberals the...I don’t know what to call them, numb nuts, will use as a good excuse. *note: this isn’t political this is bigotry pertaining to a masked political stance that has no true north or side*

I don't know whether to feel bad for Jabari, or to be pissed at him. :-?

All the warning signs were right there in plain sight for anyone willing to open their eyes to them.

Too bad SupremeHustle changed that poll. For those with a short memory, there used to be several options. "I'd trade him only for a top ~10-15 player in the entire NBA" got about 80% of the vote.

Thanks God, good you are fine man.

Sweeny is likely the guy who has had it out for Jabari. He pretty much made his system fail, Sweeny and Giannis are boys and that has driven a wedge between he and Giannis. Prunty has gone to Sweeny for advice during the playoffs trying to save his job. Was likely told not to play Jabari, because he is a liability on defense.

The main thing Jabari provides is offensive scoring... If they aren't using him in that way, they aren't using him appropriately.

Another wasted draft pick

It’s quite comical actually

Coach Carter · Post #671 » by **Coach Carter** » Fri Apr 20, 2018 4:10 am

With injuries, not being the best player, becoming a liability on the court and being called up on it, Parker simply can't cope and is not thinking rationally at the moment. He is very immature and will regret those comments in 5 - 7 years from now. He is also displaying inauthentic behaviour because he lacks self awareness. He also seems to embrace taking a rebellious stance. He's done with the coaches but there's resentment and jealously towards his teammates which isn't justified. He needs a good talking to. Perhaps even a therapist that has mastered how to talk to people in this kind of head space. Choice of words and tone make all the difference. The coaches aren't expected to be proficient in this area. Off-course it also depends on the individual and maturity levels. Like i said the way jabari is thinking now, he won't be thinking this way 5-7 years from now. Offcourse the bucks can't wait for jabari to mature and assuming he can't comprehend his wrong doings, you have to cut him for the sake of the team. I would make one last attempt though to get through to him. I'm not making excuses but i remember a reporter asked giannis about the difficulties he faces on the court. Giannis responded by saying basketball is not tough, other things are tough. He could be referring to the loss of his father but giannis faced adversities in his life long before he was in the nba. Sure he started playing and training later than most prospects, but through his life experiences, he has been training his mind his whole life and training it to deal with adversities. I don't know parker's whole history but it could be that he has never faced true adversity up until entering the league. In other words this is new to him, leaving him feeling confused. I can relate because, life was smooth sailing for me up until the age of 17 where i became depressed. I'm fine now but at the time couldn't deal nor comprehend what was happening.

Luc Richard is a Rocket Man. Rocket, man. Has a +10 net rating & improved on 3s. Ekpe also has a positive net rating, only half of LRMAM's in 12 mpg but it's still a good thing.

I don't get why people are surprised both can coexist. Certainly chances are there is correlation between them and even though in this case correlation may imply causation (terrible coaching staff => Jabari plays badly) it does not mean that the circumstances do not reveal aspects about Jabari's game and personality that the Bucks should take seriously into account.

Dude played 10 minutes in the last game. He is like #5 on the list concerning what is wrong with the Bucks right now.

1. Bledsoe
2. Snell
3. Henson
4. Prunty
5. Bench

Yeah that still proves nothing to this clowns post. EVERY SINGLE PLAYER...like no...not true even in the slightest.

Woeful thinks Jabari and Bled are gone next season. Take that for what it is.

The organisation is trash and we've had bad players but, no, not every single player that has left has improved elsewhere. It's quite the opposite actually.

He has played 25 mins in two games. He has scored 2 points in 1/7 shooting and is -29. He was supposed to be a 20 ppg scorer (with no defense) and we can't even keep him on the floor. He is a big problem in those playoffs.

Ran a tweetstorm on it earlier, but this feels like a Mark Bartelstein production where he's realizing Jabari isn't going to get a good offer from the Bucks, may not get a good offer from an outside team, so he will have Jabari agitate in the hopes the Bucks do a sign and trade or don't match an offer.

Bartelstein is an excellent agent. Rarely would you see an agent let his client self immolate like this. Realize sometimes agents can't control clients at all. Maybe this is all Jabari, don't know. Just seems like a set up.

HKPackFan · Post #680 » by **HKPackFan** » Fri Apr 20, 2018 6:09 am

Remember when jabari "allegedly" bombed his pre-draft workout with another team, because he wanted to make sure he ended up in Milwaukee?

I wonder if he's bombing his playoff run to make sure he doesn't end up in Milwaukee.
