It kind of seems that Jrue is going to fix the defense on the court by himself. Either way, besides McHale, who is really available that would be better right now?

Wait, we think Kevin McHale is an upgrade?

Chris Finch is the guy we should be keen on.

And his voice is deeper and his presence inspires. Bud with his red face and his popping out eyes among his stubbornness has peaked at what he can do with this team. Time to move on

I should clarify. I have zero interest in them hiring Kevin Mchale. I don’t think he would make them better.

Is he not an assistant coach for the Raptors since the offseason?

I agree with you he would be my first choice as well (unless some coaches that I believe prefer not to coach in the NBA actually change their minds).

Horst and Bud assumed that the Bucks were eliminated the last two years because of lack of shooting rather than coaching.

Yes, fire Bud now, but absolutely no to Kevin McHale-he's a total idiot who doesn't understand schemes or details. Get the best assistant coach out there. Bud was badly outcoached last night by a first year assistant.

I didn't expect to take that long. Of course I will. Even in wins we still don't play good basketball... this is why I want Bud gone last months. We should have replaced him before the season started.

It is just sad cause having Giannis with Lebron potential I expected way more from the Franchise, instead it looks like the Bucks are almost doomed by their own actions, and sadly that reflects to Giannis. The narrative that Giannis is just another Westbrook has been already created which is far from the truth, and unfair. Giannis signing the Supermax didn't help break this narrative. On the contrary it helps the people calling him Westbrook like , he just settled for max money in probably the worst "contender" Org in the League, right now.

I wish Giannis had some Chess lessons. He needs to understand the "sacrifice for the bigger cause" part of his basketball life. He needs to learn to force changes that will help him win a Championship instead of being the "nice" guy-teammate in his whole life and winning nothing but character respect.

Fire Bud at halftime looks the right thing to do.

I have the same feeling watching this bucks team as when they checked out on Jason Kidd.

The ability to for the opponent to create a wide open three every time down the court when playing against a well coached team feels so so familiar.
