KIDD FIRED - Hughes/Grgurich also fired - Vin Baker Hired

[FlagsFlyForever]

@Peregrino
in the volleyball team I played last year, our coach got fired while we (the players) knew it for a couple of days before it was announced to him. The mood was really downcast in the training in-between those events, and we genuinely hated him as he was not only a useless bum but also a PoS in general. The funeral atmosphere means nothing in such cases.

Yeah. It's normal.

I don't remember this response from the players the last time the Bucks fired a coach mid-season (Skiles). In any event, my point is the players will get over it.

Horst's invterview few mins ago: We made this decision relatively quickly. Why now? We believe this gives our team the best opportunity to have the most success this season."
WITH PRUNTY? IS THIS SOME KIND OF BAD JOKE? BAD TIMING TO FIRE KIDD.

Addition by subtraction. Kidd made several questionable on-court decisions in crunch time. That's just one of many factors that made this decision an easy one for Bucks leadership.

Giannis has changed 3 coaches in 4,5 seasons.
That's the only thing i can give to him.
It will be shocking if Giannis didn't realize(just like any other bucks player) that the team was going nowhere.
Did he like the bball the team played? I don't think so.
It's the first reactions and emotions are strong. He will get over it.

I think he did like the basketball being played. Sure he wants to win, but I’m sure being so young he loved the minutes he was getting and being able to iso whenever he wanted filling up the stat sheet.

I can understand that but there's no way he was happy with the D the team played.
Giannis is a natural D above all. I've noticed numerous times on which he showed displeased with the D.
It wasn't in my imagination. It's something that it DID happen many times.

Kidd making it seem like he's literally Jesus being crucified...so happy to see him go.

I think they might have thrown a party when Skiles was fired

I don’t think it’s a coincidence Kidd got canned before Jabari came back.

Agreed on the bad timing. Should have been done after the Miami game 12 months ago.

Right. What would you say of course. If they wanted badly to fire him, they should have fired him after Jabaris return and after any potential playoff failure in the 1st round . And lets not forget where Giannis is now and where Giannis was before Kidd. He really evolved and helped all the youngsters in this roster. Its bad timing and probably bad decision from many aspects.

Just sitting here waiting on Vodoo's magnum opus...

I could see Voodo's first post being the most And-1'd post in realgm history

Somewhere he dropped a mic and walked off into the sunset

WTF am I gonna post about now??!?!

[Gianstoppable]

Good news is we have some easy games coming up and Jabari coming back soon. We should win a good clip before the break. Should.

[DingleJerry]

I don't exactly have high hopes that things will drastically change right now since it's the assistants taking over, but it's a start. However, maybe there are things they've wanted to do but Kidd hasn't allowed, we don't know. I remember when he had the hip surgery I thought the offense had more movement and passing, sure maybe it was just my eye test being wrong or my bias of disliking Kidd but I remember thinking it at the time. We'll see. Also, with this happening I'm sure it's also a wake up call to the assistants to do something else, even if they were on board with everything going on so far. This kind of gives them an ultimatum or pressure to shake things up a bit. And that has to be a good thing.

It will be an interesting rest of the year with this, then Jabari back, good drama for us diehards.

Kidd is a piece of human garbage. Using Giannis now.

[VooDoo7]

I would've gone to the game tonight had I had more notice. I hope the crowd erupts when Prunty is announced.

Not a joke. He can't be any worse. Kidd was the worst coach in the NBA by a country mile.

According to one reporter, Kidd then mumbled under his breathe, "without you, this would have happened three years ago."

As long as there are people out there with thoughts like this below, there will be plenty to talk about.

And lets not forget where Giannis is now and where Giannis was before Kidd. He really evolved and helped all the youngsters in this roster. Its bad timing and probably bad decision from many aspects.
