Stacking up humiliating losses is the only way Griff gets the midseason axe. Sucks, but necessary.

Its just depressing, at this point its clear the team has taken a major step backwards and it seems unlikely that it will be corrected in season.

Haslem is suing Warren Buffet over price on the gas stations he sold him. He's got a ton of money but he's still frugal. From his perspective we're at the top of the standings, #1 in season tournament seed so it looks good. I doubt firing AG is anywhere on anyone's radar in the Bucks org. We'd have to be .500 for them to even think about it..

Do you know how many coaches Haslam has fired with Browns? Yeah, I don't think he has any problem getting rid of someone if they aren't living up to his standards.

Problem is the further into the season we get, once they fire AG you are getting Coach Prunty.

Atlanta is uniquely set up to destroy us so we should be able to do this all over again on Saturday night.

Things would have to get really bad for Griffin to get fired I think, remember they're still paying Bud too which I low key have to think was a factor to why they cheaped out with Nurse in favor of Griffin. They'd have to pay a replacement to and who are they going to realistically be able to bring in? Bringing back Bud would legitimately probably be the best most cost effective thing to do & he would probably be able to implement his system on the fly with more success than anybody else would. Joe Prunty obviously isn't the guy, its pretty sickening when you realize what was being done when Stotts was IMO pushed out, maybe Stotts could be brought back but either of these scenarios would be major drama for the franchise. Most likely we keep our head above water and play as expected in the playoffs & THEN maybe they'll fire Griffin. It really sucks because I can't delude myself into thinking the team can overcome it this year, its seemed like a lame duck season from the very start.

Dare I say it. I actually think Doc would be a credible option. He probably could be lured by the fact Nurse is getting flowers for how Philly is playing right now. Bring Doc home? I don’t see many other options. Atleast Doc can work officials and has respect league wide to light a fire in these players who seem uninterested in competing until the last 5 minutes of the game

We are facing bottom feeding teams, most of which are missing their #1 and/or #2 best players and barely scraping by with a win. I think this loss was needed so the team doesn't feel comfortable playing with their food for three quarters every game.

Still pathetic and maddening in so many ways.

Caruso is an NBA player and Marjon isn't so this makes sense

About to dive in, though. I don't know why I do this to myself.

I want to know more about this instead of reading literally about the same thing. Bucks D is ****, and we try to pull a W out of our asses at the end but it doesn't always work.

Yeah these clowns shouldn’t take anything lightly anymore after these last 4-5 pathetic first 3 quarters. We had a lot of the same problems last year in the regular season too. Just awful and disgusting all around. Nothing will change though and we will get boat raced on Saturday by the Hawks.

Boy marjon has really fallen out of grace with alot of you.Maybe bud saw something in him that we all are seeing this year.

It's not about the record that's concerning, it's not about the team needing time to gel.

It's seeing a flawed scheme that doesn't fit the team, there are red flags this will be absolutely abused in the post season and there are no signs it is being addressed.

Pouring salt on the wound is opposing players saying publicly how easy it is to disrupt and defeat this D is embarrassing and still no adjustment from the coaching staff.

Covering up the issue is the 2 superstars are so **** good they can almost overcome any deficit inspite of a crap system by sheer talent alone. (which is a shame because they have the potential to be even better).

But winning via talent alone, this won't work in the long run vs higher level competition with coaches and players scouting us in a 7 game series. Will be picked apart in embarrassing fashion.

Griff isn't getting fired any time soon. Not after a 13-6 start. It is what it is and we need to stop being naive. At this point the best course of action is to make a minor trade for a defensive wing that doesn't compromise the core, get healthy for the playoffs, and ride it out until you replace him in 2024. Horst is gonna have to work some trade machine magic and turn Pat, Bobby, Marjon, AJJ, Livingston, AJ Green, Portland 2nd, etc. into 1-2 of the following guys listed below, cuz we need as many veteran, smart defenders as possible right now.

PJ Tucker
Marcus Smart
DFS
Caruso
Royce O'Neal
Thybulle
Kenrich Williams
Alec Burks
DiVincenzo
Gary Harris
Herb Jones
Jeff Green

We aren’t playing with our food. We win in the 4th because of pure talent but you can’t play that way for 48 minutes. The scheme is why we honestly are an average team, record be damned. For those saying you’ll give it till January? By then it’s way too far to change anything. So unless you think our idiot head coach is spoelstra in hiding why even take that chance? You really want to punt this season? Khris isn’t getting better or healthier. This is our best chance to win something with this group

Just wait until the Bucks get booted in the first round and Dame asks to be traded.
