This man was a snake in the grass this entire time. Probably poisoned the well every chance he got until the franchise got rid of their rookie coach who was second in the east.

Thats a terrible drop off for team with championship aspirations. A team like Knicks would be a problem for the Bucks, teams get exposed in a 7 game playoff series.

I bet replacing Jrue with Dame had nothing to do with it, definitely the coach lol.


Your 100% correct. The coach is always the scapegoat.

I do believe Griff deserves another chance, same goes for lloyd pierce.

Thanks for this. I'll be paying attention too now, now that you posted their record. The losses will generate at the speed of seconds while the winds will generate at the speed of hours :lol:


At that rate they may not get another win this season! Or for the next 43 seasons or so for that matter…

Cant wait to see them lose in the first round with a 3-1 lead to the....oh ****, the magic. If this happens, it'll be some weird full circle close of his entire career.

Be funnier when they face the Sixers. Something will have to give lol.

And we haven't had a Giannis v Embiid playoff series yet right. The Hawks spoiled it the one year. It could be a classic series even without coaching drama

Dude I think that Dave Grohl is the one who did it. Not to de-rizz him but... I think it was him. There wouldn't be a Foo Fighters if there was still a Nirvana. That's all I'll say...

Off topic but in reply to Clay:



I didn't even know Grohl or Foo fighters, Clay, till I saw this video.

Rivers so over rated.

Griffin probably going to be a good coach one day but I think he picked up some bad habits under Nick Nurse. When you have a true superstar like Greek Freak, but better be building that relationship from day 1.

They went from a bottom-5 coach to a bottom-10 coach.

This might be the year Embiid gets past the second round. Both him and Doc will actively be trying to lose the series, but I think Nurse gets him across the finish line.

That's the one. The bizzaro version of the unstoppable force (Doc choking) vs. the immovable object (Embiid choking).

In the end I just can't trust Embiid yet. He just hasn't put a playoff run together to give you that confidence.

Anyone else just hoping for the most epic of flame outs for this team?

3600÷82 = 43.9 unless we count the preseason.

So the Bucks will have 3 coaches on payroll for like 20 million per year ? Good or bad he'll be the head coach for 2 to 3 years there.
