a couple months later as giannis pointed out publically, and we all see clearly....the team is in complete turmoil from top to bottom

there is no upside here besides giannis being under contract
Stotts was probably talking to Dame and Giannis like, "I know. I know, I know, I know, just be happy I'm here."

'Stotts! Team huddle. STOTTS! TEAM HUDDLE!'

"Sorry, Dame... I can't do this ****. Call me when he gets fired "

whatever the reasons stotts quit dame did too. hes been cashing checks ever since and nothing more

our only hope is a new coach that the guys can get behind but im concerned this bunch is a bunch of unaccountable finger pointers at this point. i dont believe in a single one of them. ive not been less proud of the team since maybe '02

I've preached patience with this since the beginning of the year but I'm about out.

It's just not working. We're nearly halfway through the season now and the team has made zero progress. We're into sunk cost territory here now. I get it'll be a bad look to fire Griff, but realistically, does the FO really think this is going to get better? We can't afford to muck around.

There is no redeeming stat from this game. Everything that happened spoke volumes as to just how bad tonight was.

Utah are a middling team. We gave them NBA-wide scoring highs tonight, and let them score 130+ when they average 114. To say that we have no defense isn't doing justice to just how bad our D is.

What's worse is that everyone calls it out; players, coaches, commentators, etc., and nothing changes. Nothing.

Gary might be a good coaching option. Who has to box out and play D?

This is different than being disappointed in how they played in a game, a series, or whatever - and no, I have not forgotten Miami/R1 obviously. This team's a mess and has been all season, record or not. And I'm not sure even a coaching change will right all the wrongs. We really, really **** up the coaching search and I think it could end up being the undoing of a serious chance at another ring.

It could be worse than just a ring. This team has no future because we have mortgaged it all to go in this year, and the coaching selection has almost literally single-handedly upended the present.

The good news, possibly, is that if Griffin **** it up so badly so quickly, it should theoretically be possible to fix it quickly... but I'm not sure if the right guy to do it is available currently/anymore.

Giannis and Brook played 38 minutes each. Midds played 33.

There were a lot of Bucks teams before Giannis and early in Giannis' career where the talent wasn't there but the effort was more often than not. Sort of the opposite of that now, especially the first halves of games.

My fear is that they get a wild double outlier shooting night vs Boston and steal a W, and we’re stuck with this bozo rest of the year.

Might need a complete overhaul of front office and coaching staff immediately

It's worse than that. It's not that we're not making progress, but we're actually getting worse. Our defense is sliding downwards towards league-worst.

Our defensive-minded coach has us trending towards the worst defense in the association.

Damn we really just wasted our best chance to win a ring with Giannis because of a coaching hire. Really depressing, has there been a more poor decision the bucks have made in the last 5 years? This feels all time bad. Season is lost man. Dame for nothing.

Bobby such a fake tough guy, talking **** during the game while scoring 8 points and yucking it up with the entire Jazz roster immediately after getting bitch slapped by them.

the soul of the team we once believed in is gone. leaving bud on the side of the road and flipping jrue and grayson for an aging sulking primadonna chucker were the type of moves you look back and almost say to yourself if you were trying to destroy the teams culture as quickly as possible would these be the moves youd make?

Bucks played just well enough in the 2nd half to save Griffin's job.

What? This year was the year with this roster, no **** we won 2 years ago. I want another, that's the point of this. Giannis is now getting older along with everybody else.

Hmmm… forgot we had a game. Been over a decade since I’ve been this checked out on the Bucks. Excellent work everyone.

We have two picks in the upcoming draft, right?
