Kendrick Perkins casually saying on ESPN that Griffin never had respect in the locker room from the start of training camp lines right up with when Stotts sprinted away. Makes you wonder how he got the job in the first place if it happened that fast.

What's your pecking order wishlist?

I think I'd go

1. Atkinson
2. Stotts
3. Ride it out with Prunty and find a legit long term replacement in the off-season
4. Doc

I don't . He got his money so he will be fine.

I am sure Giannis was sick of busting his ass to beat terrible teams that we used to blow out with ease.

I'm not going to put a poll up, I think this will be done very quickly, later today or tomorrow morning. The Bucks had to have reached out to candidates before this move was made.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Grief Griffin?


That's the one, yes.

Maybe if his name was Denise instead of Dennis.

You don't make a move like this without having good knowledge of who has made themselves available to put their hand up for the role.

Yeah, which is why I think it's Doc. The leaks are already happening.

**** yeah. Huge moment that could make or break the season. Although it was broken already, so it’s possible it can only go up from here lol.

Right, the clock is ticking. You don't take 2 weeks to bring someone in. Or even a week. You do it asap.

I want to know who else is in Woj's small pool of experienced candidates. If it was Doc, he would have just said it was Doc.

I was starting to feel like it was too late in the season to fire him, but wow!

Throw a bag at Kenny Atkinson. He’s a legit good coach, even if he has some Bud-like warts he’ll stabilize the team. There’s a base level of competence he brings that will immediately help.
