You know **** is grim when Doc Rivers seems like a positive alternative to your current coach.

:sigh:

When my man Sid Lanier turns on Griff, we'll know **** is past the point of no return.

This is the big one to me. I don't know what you can point to that shows Griffin has actually helped the team.

As I pointed out, the Bucks until tonight were second in the league in three point defense. That's a positive change. He's been rightly criticized for allowing paint points and as I pointed out just a day ago, if he starts guarding the paint, the threes will flow. That's what is happening.

Fwiw....

Spoke to someone very connected at the game tonight. Dames done with Griff and extremely disgruntled. The Houston game was the last straw.

Not that this is earth shattering news. I was kind of sad to hear this but excited at the same time.

What a **** this is.

we were unlucky with the very easy schedule. A normal schedule, a few massacres like today more and Grief would have been out of town by now

A collective booing when Bucks gave up an easy offensive rebound put back to extend the lead to 30 something.

Otherwise, same old same old. Lots of groaning when Bucks miss or Jazz make.

Sid is loyal, he never turned on Kidd either

The 3PT defense is completely flukey. Bucks have literally the lowest opponent 3PT% on *wide open* 3s, and 3rd lowest 3PT% on open 3s. They’ve been insanely lucky with opponent 3PT shooting being trash on clean looks, and that number was always going to regress to the mean.

And against the Bucks defense it could all be on the same night!

We’re both winners!

So theoretically, how long would it take to lineup another coach? Not sure I want Prunty anymore than Grif.

this is all about bud its not even about griff.

i mean of course griff sucks but last year the players needed to hold themselves accountable after that miami series and we took them off the hook by tossing the 2nd best thing we had going besides giannis overboard.

now we have a **** coach and a **** blame the next guy mindset.

its over. its just all over. this isnt correctable in my mind without new coach and a roster reset

How sad is it that I’d actually welcome that…

I don't even see the argument for Griffin over Kidd at this point.

Problem is that a lot of these coaching candidates won't want short term deals, and I think there are better guys out there who would be available in the offseason. We might be able to pull Taylor Jenkins out of Memphis.

You can't help yourself with the predictable Bobby hate. He's not only responsible for this deficit, he's also responsible for all the wars in the world.

Maybe he shouldn't (predictably) do dumb **** on the court, like me and the handful of other people you didn't cry about (predictably) , all saw and commented on (predictably) .

LOL. Bobby is so bad in your mind, yet you want to trade him and think you're going to get these great additions back. I surrender. :banghead:

I’m going to give this maybe 5 minutes of the third. I hope if I give up it’s a mistake and miss a wild comeback.

Pat Riley should troll Horst and call about Giannis tonight. I would.

Agreed. I get Giannis wanted Grief, but if Horst had any inkling about how bad this guy would be from the interview process, it was his primary job to explain to Giannis why they needed to go in another direction.

Between that and not bringing in any young players thru the draft or G League, I'm ready to go in another direction. How many GM"s get to hire 3 coaches?
