Joe Prunty representin' !! He's been interim head coach before. If the Bucks rally around their skeleton crew coaching staff, the Bucks can give Prunty the full time gig
Joe Cronin ruin the Bucks. Traded Dame for Holiday then shipped him to their rivals Boston only to get Doc Rivers. Joe Cronin is the GOAT
lol Blame Lillard good timing for Dame bashing in case the Blazers lose by 60 to the Thunder tonight.
Milwaukee has to pay off Budenholzer and Griffin. The Bucks are basically into mid-level exception contract just to find the right head coach.
If you're a playoff team, don't get rid of a good coach with experience unless you're confident you can get a better coach; or at least one with SOME head coaching experience.
Shouldn't that quote read that Dame has had a hard time adjusting to a coach who didn't know what the fuck he was doing?
Wtf? They are 30-13, second in the east and over all. Has a coach ever been fired their first year with that kind of record?
I think Doc and Stotts would be a great combo for the Bucks. The Bucks did what the Blazers were afraid to do, build a team for a 1 or 2 hard run for a ring. Griffith is similar to Billups, wants to build a young team to fit his vision. Neither are what you want to lead a vet team, neither have experience in leading a vet team. While I would never want Doc to coach the Blazers he is a players-friendly coach that the locker room will listen to. He can get all the players on the same page. One of Stotts' greatest strengths has putting players in their best positions for the skills they have. Stotts polished a lot of turds for the Blazers. Made a lot of 2nd round players look better than they were, made so first round players that many considered washed actually look good.
Doc's championship season was with Thibs as his defensive coordinator...without Thibs see Docs failures with the Clippers and 76ers.....guys bailed on him. Bucks will be fools to hire Rivers in my view.
That's the problem with coaches like Griffin and Billups...they have a vision and try to force it, even when it doesn't work or when the players don't fit it. You have to build around what you have. One of the most important qualities of a successful coach is adaptability. Griffin had the talent on his roster, so they had the wins, but they players weren't really able to fit in his system. Hence his firing.
the Bucks weren't playing optimal basketball, which is the cover story for the media. They barely beat Detroit, and lost by 30 w/out Giannis. The Bucks are STRUGGLING (yah right). I think Griffin went on a power trip when he grabbed the top command post. All we know is Griffin totally freaked out and screamed at Stotts in training camp, which made Terry resign. Was there more unhinged Coach Griffin moments that we don't know about?? The Bucks needed to fix things immediately, and on court production seems like the last thing on their list of problems.
David Blatt in 15/16 because Lebron didn't like him. They won the Championship with Lue though in that year
