This coaching staff is a total joke. Remember when Brogdon was benched for the first part of a game and Giannis asked him why he wasn't playing and he just shrugged?

Yeah. This coaching staff is a complete sh*tshow. But I guess that matches the sh*tshow that is management.

Great, we should bench him,not expose him more, match the small offer cause his value is low , then play him against bad defensive teams so he can pad stats . Then trade him immediately.

Or he gets a fresh start with a new coaching staff and things turn out ok somehow and we don't have the risk of the massive contract.

its a win win situation. If we are going to lose, then we dont want jabari to play good. Now with his first two games we have the perfect excuse to play sabazz. Who i think is a better team player against a good defensive team(Against Boston we need hustle players). Also we dont risk anymore with Jabari and we keep him in a small contract , which we can use for a trade or hope.

If I was playing at the Y and knew the opposing team was attacking me because they thought I was a terrible defender I would do everything in my power to prove them wrong. How can a professional in the NBA playoffs not give two craps that the opposing coach is specifically targeting his terrible defensive play? He couldn’t possibly care less.

I can't understand how a professional NBA organization doesn't have more pride.

This is worse than I thought.

He keeps saying he is focused on the future and not the present. To me that definitely comes across as focused on his next team and not this one.

Then listen to the question at the 3:10 mark and his answer. His teammates are done with his ****. Bench this guy.

Also, the only reason the official Bucks twitter posts that entire interview is because they are benching him and they are trying to clue the fans in. This is a PR move....and a smart one.

Why is the bucks official account posting that? Weird move and weird interview. I don't like the cut of his jib.

If I was in town for the playoffs I'd get the closest possible seat and abuse the **** out of Jabari **** that selfish piece of ****. Delly should kick his chubby ass

Ha I was just wondering about that. You could be right because in no way shape or form does this make him look good.

Id bench him not as punishment but simply because he clearly doesn't have any idea what he needs to do to help them win tomorrow game.

It's obvious to me. They are benching him or (hopefully) sending him home.

At this point he needs to be sent home. He doesn't care, doesn't try, and has tried to become a distraction twice and we are only 2 games into the postseason. His answer to the question at the 3:10 mark is all I need to hear in order to send him home. His teammates are done with him. Get rid of the distraction and get him away from the guys that are focused on the present and trying to win a playoff series.

Imagine how will he look if he doesnt play a single minute and the Bucks win both home games.

You don't have to worry about that

It would honestly probably give the guys a boost. My guess is that they are sick of trying to coddle him and sick of dealing with him. They'd probably respect the organization for doing the hard, but right, thing. We certainly aren't getting a boost from Jabari so we might as well try to get one by sending him home.

Remember when the owners said they had some face analytic tool and that’s what they used, in part, to draft Jabari?

I’m guessing it needs an update

Yikes man. I'm pretty irked about the whole thing too, but come on back down. It's just the vicarious, multi-generational trauma of being a Milwaukee Bucks fan that courses through you.

To be clear this would only be the case if he got playing time. As long as he's just being Eeyore from the bench I'd be happy to just pretend he doesn't exist.

Just really sucks how this all ended up. I feel like this is Anakin falling into the lava and obi was screaming “you were suppose to be the chosen one!!!” Wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to the bulls and like Vader kick the **** out of us.

Damn. This staff **** a young mans career. You think embiid or exum didn’t talk to their coaches while they were out? My guess they were as part of the team as anyone. Kidd messed with this kid bad and prunty was Kidd’s guy so it’s not like anything changed. I’m ready to be done, but Jabari on any other team probably has a completely different life. I find it sad
