Yet Doc still survives, and it was too late to fire him a month ago.

Malone and Jenkins drop kicked to the curb with only a month left in the season. Amazing.

A lot of smart organizations making a lot of dumb, emotionally volatile decisions at the first sign of adversity (we were one of those two years ago).

Would do unholy things to have Malone replace Doc. Truly unholy.

I just don't get this one, at all. They recently won a title and are still going to win 50 games this year in a 'struggle' year in a loaded conference. Obviously I don't follow them super closely but I also don't' recall any absolutely glaring terrible moves to pin on them. Winning titles in the NBA is really hard if you don't have an overwhelming unfair team like GSW did.

I'm gonna be depressed when two smart teams hire Malone and Jenkins and we're still stuck with Doc next season

When Giannis, Ja and Joker want changes, they get 'em.

Weird to fire the coach/GM this close to playoffs when you're still competing for the 3rd seed in the west.

Booth I understand. Malone not so much. We shall see I guess but firing everyone at this point is basically punting the postseason imo.

If I knew for sure Dame wasn't coming back I would be all for Milwaukee doing the same thing.

This and the Jenkins firing gives us so much cover to clean house right now by punting Doc and Horst to the curb, so of course we're gonna botch it out of "respect for Doc" or some BS.

Doc being the Bucks coach while actually solid coaches like Jenkins and Malone are getting fired makes me physically ill.

Yea I wonder what’s going on in Denver. I know they’re not playing great but it’s really weird timing. Malone and Jenkins both have really good records but neither really stand out to me as good coaches. But for us that would be an upgrade and might just have a Bud like effect on a team that needs solid coaching.

I think Horst leaves/gets fired, Doc moves up to pobo, and we hire one of those guys. Probably Jenkins.

How do you not just see what happens in the playoffs, especially with a coach who has already won a championship.

I'm fully expecting Doc promoted to front office and Ham promoted to HC. Horst may or may not be out

Wouldn't bat at eye at Booth getting canned, but Malone headed out too - so soon after Jenkins, too - is wild.
