    It would be cool to bring back Stotts for Dame.

    Do it you cowards.

    Feel bad for Griff. Why give a first timer such a big job then have him on a short leash? They're 3.5 games behind first.

    doubt this happens if Giannis is in his corner or if Griffin is backed by management

    must be more to this story

    dude that is horrible for him. It is just bizarre to me. Giannis wanted him! They are winning but it seems to most they are underperforming. Who gets the nod??? Can't wait long. If it's stotts I will crap my pants. I would be happy for him but I think its unlikely.

    Can Doc just blow off his telecasting job?

    It could be Doc with Stotts as his lead assistant.

    What I will say is I've watched most of their games and that offense was disjointed in a way that made no sense at all with the personnel they have. They're good on the break but their half court sets leave a lot to be desired... no synergy. I think given their personnel their defense should be elite and it just isn't. I don't think that Griffin ever really had the team.

    Lmao.

    Stotts got the hell out of there, that was the major sign.

    If I was a bucks fan I'd be livid if we then hired Doc

    No way they hire Stotts. Milwaukee's biggest problem is defense.

    They'd be wise to bring in Stotts as head coach and Nate McMillan as lead assistant and defensive coordinator.

    So Bucks fired the coach who helped them win a ring then hired someone only to get fired middle of the season. OK and we still have Chauncey

    I do think Stotts could get the most out of Giannis and Lillard, i dont think they have reached the peak yet. Defense is a different topic though

    Wow. Just wow. Going from horrible to absolutely deplorable. Going from a completely unproven coach straight to the most overrated coach in NBA history. I almost (almost) feel sorry for Dame. Talk about a case of careful what you wish for.....I'm almost rooting for Doc to get the job just for the entertainment value. It's always been kinda fun watching him take loaded rosters and flushing their legitimate hopes down the drain with his bonehead moves.....
