Has to be. Any other coach and he would have been out of the league by now after these many chances. It's so well documented by literal decades worth of players that he's not a good coach... how does he keep getting jobs?

The more I thought about this the more disgraceful this is. I’ve lost all respect for Giannis and dame. Firing a coach after a start like this is stupid and sets a dangerous precedent.

Remember, at the time, Giannis hadn't extended yet.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

As a Bucks fan I would like to congratulate the 76ers for making it out of the 2nd round

Reportedly, Doc was advising Griffin behind the scenes. So, it's more of a lateral move.

Giannis needs to void his contract.

Looking forward to those CNN bombs.

When Rivers came in, they had to mention that there was a possibility if things didn't improve.

These are like those Ohtani reports.

Frustrating if it's your team, but in a way more entertaining. TNT really has to trust someone if they go on air with it

It's going to get done. There isn't this much smoke for it not to happen.

So basically Bud will still remain the best Bucks coach in history. Or at least the best Bucks coach in the last 40 years.
