But if we give Doc only 6 months, that would not be so bad. Doc himself won't have much anxiety, noone will blame if **** hits the fan and we'll get the best of him (Not much but still). He won't hesitate to call players out, players will shut the f up and obey him, so, who knows. Doc is not a bad coach. He is not good either but he is capable enough to pave the way. If our players are so good as we think they are, they can do the rest and lead us into the Promised Land.

I prefer Atkinson, for sure. Him and Stotts are my preferred coaches.

Not Prunty, players will eat him alive. McMillan is underrated, he is a good defensive coach, i remember his work in Pacers. He did a good work in Atlanta too, not his fault that the Front office there is incompetent. D'Antoni is an offensive coach, we don't need something like that, even though he is the better than all of them overall. Plus he is old.

I will throw Itoudis name too. Not because he is Greek, for real, i don't even like the guy, he doesn't seem like a good person. But he is a very good coach, with x's and o's like Nurse, seriously, he may be more brilliant than every other one here. However, American players don't know him and i am sure they will disrespect him. And then, media gonna blame Gm Giannis again for "bringing his clueless Greek friend from the National Team". So, Itoudis as a head coach is not probably a good idea. As an assistant coach, maybe he would be good.

Or maybe we should wait for Darvin Ham or Vogel. Run it with Prunty and we'll see, either way, Atkinson/Doc/Nate would still be available until someone of them gets fired.




Doc isnt coming for 6 months comeone you all please use your head wtf would he leave his cushy job to come coach a team for 6 months.Can we talk any more stupid.Hes coming here on a 3 year deal .Mark it down

I’m not sure why the idea of Doc stepping in for 6 months is that far fetched when he was already consulting. It’s also not like he couldn’t use a little reputation rehab when it comes to coaching.

In a perfect world that might be true, but the reality is there are no short term contracts for NBA coaches. 3 or 4 years is just the cost of doing business. Carlisle is a fair comparison to Doc and he's getting over $7 million per yer over 4 years. So you're talking about at least a 20-30 million dollar commitment in addition to what they still owe Bud and Griffin.

I really can't wait for people to start leaking what was going on behind the curtain. Did Dame tell management he was going to request a trade? What made Giannis finally sign off on dumping Griff?

Few coaches have his experience there:

Milwaukee has also formulated a short list of candidates that includes Jeff Van Gundy and Nate McMillan, sources say.

Rivers, though, may ultimately have the edge due to his experience coaching stars.

Does his experience blowing 3-1 series leads and having 10 game 7 losses in his tenure do anything for you?


Maybe I’m being naive but get Giannis/Dame to a 3-1 lead or a game seven and I like their chances no matter who the coach is.

Doc (or insert any other solid NBA coach) vs. Griffin will be an interesting experiment. Same team barring major roster moves in the coming weeks with enough sample size for both. I'm expecting the offense to be as good or better and the defense (especially in transition and on the glass) to be way better for the regular season.

I think the roster leaves some things to be desired especially athletically and on the wing defensively but I hypothesize our struggles have been a lot more about the coach. Let's see

Thank you. We're not dealing with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. Get these guys to the playoffs with less clown **** and let them cook.

If that's the case, then i don't want Doc here. Still, even if they hire him, i am gonna start watching Bucks games again with longing. Because, it's the first time since i became a Bucks fan (2016) that i stopped watching them because of Griffin.

What is the story of Doc being a consultant to Grief? I guess I haven't been playing much attention to this season... because Grief... but also not sure how I missed this.

The prospect of having Dame Time in the 4th and a Greek “Bucks in 6 despite playing on one knee” Freak is probably where he’s been angling for this job for months already.
