    One step closer to getting rid of Kidd?

    exactly. WIN-WIN with a Rockets blowout win! Vamos!
    If it's a 30pnt or 40pnt blowout even better.

    I want to see 20 wide open corner 3s and even Corey Sewer hitting one 3 after the other.

    @malakas, regarding the Jabari benching in the last game. Who are the long standing "Bucks vets" that pushed for that in the locker room?

    it's a bunch of bullcrap .

    Jabari did a mistake by giving a direct quote to the (always clueless, never asking any hard questions) beat writer about what went on in the lockeroom meeting. He violated team rules. But Kidd couldn't punish him himself, and threw the responsibillitiy to the team? :rolleyes:

    What can go wrong for a coach to try to turn players against each other? Right?
    Since the last game vs the Rockets I was one of the very few that was open and talking about getting rid of him asap. Now 90% of fans have joined in. Bottom 5 coach, no matter how you think about it there are hardly any good points about him other than development.

    @malakas, (if Jabari isn't one of them...) who is the players leader on the Bucks? Don't tell me it's Jason Terry.

    Jabari has been one of the vocal leaders ever since he got drafted..but he never earned it. How can he possibly speak up and call others out when he's THE worst defender of those getting more than 25+ minutes and his effort is questionable in d? I don't blame anyone at all for "trashing" him.
    He should never go to the press and "whine" about it though.

    Yes Terry is one of the leaders. Jabari is a weird guy. Just the other day he gave a speech infront of the team and said that Giannis getting the All star starter spot, is not an individual accomplishment but a team accompllishment and he's proud and feels like he himself got chosen.
    Now that could be taken the wrong way..even if his intentions are good.
    Imagine if someone, say Bev said it to Harden?

    Interesting insight. Yeah, I guess it is an odd dynamic. And then you add in Kidd.

    What did he 'reveal', exactly, that warranted a benching?

    Did anyone else notice this exchange between Beasley and Brewer during the start of the 3rd quarter last game?

    That's it? Seems harsh... What does it even mean?

    Even a dumbass can surmise it wouldn't have been all cheery in that meeting...

    it's against team rules to reveal any specific information about players' meetings.
    It means the players accused him of smth. (most likely his d).

    If you want to reveal anything don't give a direct quote to a journo. Give it through "anonymous sources". The end. Jabari was at fault, he got "punished" for it by being benched for one game. Big deal what a punishment.

    At least we have Clint back.
    As I recall last time, Giannis was waltzing through the lane to the basket for
    easy layups like he was picking daisies. Their main scoring threat.
    They were bricking J's like a Brewerfest was going on

    Hopefully Clint can protect that rim and force them to shoot mostly J's

    Well, last game against the bucks we had a lot of trouble contaning Giannis, and it never ceased to amaze me they couldnĀ“t generate anything else besided the greek Iso`s. It reminded me a little bit about McHale, a very dominant player that he can leverage into more from his team.

    Yeah like the other poster said, honestly the Bucks remind me of Mchale's Rockets. You know there is talent there (Giannis, Parker, Henson, Monroe) but the fit is missing, they really lack consistenly accurate 3 pt scorers, the coach is a "people coach" but lacks solid Xs and Os and the team is underperforming.

    To solve their problems the Bucks should trade Giannis to the Rox for Corey Brewer, KJ and a pick. Brewer is a 51 pt scorer and consummate professional who will energize the court whenever he plays, he'll definitely help that team.
