Bucks fire Adrian Griffin

Because they don't want to lose in the first round again.

 

So Glenn Rivers is Mr. Second Round....

 

Looks like the rockets was the straw that broke Griffin's back?

The media makes sure his halo always sparkles.

 

Didn't Doc try to usurp Pop in his early days? Grade A snake.

 

I had high hopes for him. Expected growing pains along the way. But after 3 years of getting worse instead of better.... yeah Rockets made the right move with Ime.

 

No more Doc on ESPN would make all of this a huge W

 

Seeing some rumors about his grandchild's suspicious death while in his son's custody. Probably just the internet doing what the internet does.

I assume Giannis and/or Dame don’t care for him

but Doc Rivers is absolutely the WRONG answer. Guarantees no title

 

they'll sign pj tucker after a buyout & doc will start him

 

Griffin was in completely over his head. He started the year with an aggressive trapping scheme even though he had the oldest team in the league and Brook Lopez. Stotts quitting before the season was a huge red flag. Seemed like it may have been improving a little but you can’t waste a title shot with an unqualified coach.

Credit to the Bucks for doing it now even though it was probably clear after 10 games. Pivoting to Doc is strange but he’s still an upgrade.

 

Somewhere out there: Bud is thinking: 'see, it's not that easy, is it?'

 

MDA is 72. Rivers is popular with players.

 

Giannis gets off scot-free from any criticism.

 

Didn't Giannis endorse Griffin for HC?

 

Good thing he took that bag, because he might never get another HC job in the NBA. Personally I thought he was extremely overrated. Thank goodness we pounced on Udoka before the season was over. 2 weeks later and maybe he's in on the Bucks job.

 

This won't happen, but it'd be hilarious if Terry Stotts interviews for the replacement job.

 

Giannis taking a page from Harden's book of fuucking things up.
Yea, you endorse a guy and six months later, condemn him.
It doesnt matter though. Why? Because in the Harden book of fuucking things up, the star of the team can say and do whatever he wants and its not his fault.
And when things truely fall apart, you demand a trade.

 

Amazing.

Doc Rivers has does a few things well...blow playoff series AND scare off stars.

Seems like a really dumb move for them. He must interview really well.
