The playoffs start in 3 weeks. The playoffs end in 4 weeks.

The game is a combination of talent and coaching. What percentage of each is debatable. But we are clearly lacking in both. Doc is an abomination. And he can take his defensive genius Buckner with him. We have the Joe Barry of the NBA.

When asked to consider what makes Buckner a strong defensive coordinator, Rivers quickly rattled off three main characteristics.

“Being organized, knowing exactly what you’re supposed to do and holding everybody accountable,” Rivers said.

And while on the outside, fans may only be able to see Buckner throw his hands up in the air after a mistake, Bucks players confirm Buckner is doing plenty to articulate his vision on the floor.

“I mean, he’s gonna correct you. He’s not going to let anything slide,” Wright said. “So, in practices, if anybody messes up, he’s going to correct them because he’s not afraid to coach us. And I feel like the more he does that, the quicker we’re going to get what he wants.”

“He brings like a certain toughness, a certain ideology,” Gary Trent Jr. said. “(He’s a) former player. He was pretty solid on the defensive end during his time. So just bringing what he knows and what coach wants us to do and try to formulate that all in a plan to make it work.”

And for the love of God do not make Ham the next coach. Or any of the other assistants for that matter.

In "real life" I purge all negative people from my life. They are toxic. They will drag you down. We all know people like that. Sports are just games, completely unimportant in the scheme of things. A diversion. I try to shrug off losses. I have plenty of dumb hot takes and at the end of the day it's just a game. But I can't complain about the negativity on this board. It's 100% warranted. We're here because we're Bucks fans. We may disagree on the solutions but we are all miserable with this team.

Just get this season over with, hopefully make some big changes and recharge over the summer.

End of rant, sorry to ramble on.

brutal loss....rock bottom

Clean house at the executive level, clean house at the coaching level, keep the Greek and rebuild the roster. All role players must go, if Dame has any value he must go. Reboot. If Giannis wants to go, call his bluff on having 2 years left on his contract. He'll come around.

I just checked the score and had to do a double take.

Wowowowowowow.



Bring out the bag heads... Bring out the, "oh no we suck again" memes

Seems like a team that knows Dame isnt coming back this season

Our situation was a mess. It went off the cliff with Dame’s health.

I still say we bid to be GM for a day…

Very sad. Very well put Mickey. It’s really hard to emotionally separate from whatever this is.

and you can't even blame Dame for the defense

Legitimately hoping to get swept in round one.

youre suggesting a reset when what we need is a new era

The thing I'm most scared of right now is Doc and Giannis over performing in the playoffs and the Knicks being banged up. If we lose in 7 or a close 6 the FO / owners will probably just run it back with minor tweaks.

When does OJ Mayo get back?

Doc shouldn't get a press conference. It should be Jon Horst telling the media that Doc has been relieved of duty. Only lever left you can pull this season to try and light a fire under this roster to maybe win 2 playoff games, and he's going to be gone over the summer anyways. Rip the scab off to become a scar and start healing asap.

I love when VV gets mad. He usually tries to keep everyone away from the edge. Let it out, man.

You mean its not as simple as removing Dame and starting Rollins?

**** Rivers.

**** him more than Kidd.

my take on the season is....

we went from elite talent and high expections resulting in medium outcomes
to
medium talent and fair expectations resulting now, in horrific outcomes

After this game, I'd say we miss Jericho Sims more than Dame. When you let a team score 145 something is very wrong on the defensive end.
