Yeah, and y'all know ball, hey?

Never seen Pippen's kid play before. Not bad.

He was a really good scorer at Vandy and grinded his way up from the G League with the Lakers.  Even more impressive given the circus sideshow of his mother on reality TV during it all.

2.5 out of 10

Also, moving on from Bud was the wrong move (the Suns look very good right now), but I understood it.  His lack of adjustments against a team the Bucks should've absolutely beat was awful (but he was also going through the death of his brother, so some of it is explainable, but when you have title expectations you have little rope to work with).  Hiring AG was an awful decision.  But even that you can recover from.  The biggest problem was firing him midseason, or, if you're going to do that, not just giving Prunty the interim coach position he's made for.  Replacing him midseason limited the coaching candidates to Doc Rivers and Terry Stotts, who had just quit the organization a couple months earlier.  If you wait until the offseason you can hire the best guy, not the available guy.

I think part of the Bud issue was it seemed like the same issues every year. Although, based on the last two years, maybe it's a player thing.

It's time for Westbrook to retire.

It's time for Westbrook to retire.

Why?

[GB Warrior]

I've seen enough. Bucks need to blow it up.

They lost again???  How would you deal with this catastrophic situation?  1-5 is 1-5.

I'd move the team to Seattle, personally.

[4everwarriors]

Oh my has the worm twisted, aina?

Is there any way they can right the ship?  Or are we looking at death?  A bad Bucks team does not help MU.

None. Deader than dead. Ship them to Seattle, close MU's doors, and hope Concordia Mequon can house all the students running for safety.

Clearly this isn't a good situation.

Embiid apparently shoved a columnist in the 76ers locker room. 

[4everwarriors]

Peddle his ass too, aina?

Sounds like the columnist had it coming and then some from how espn is reporting it.

Did he do more than write a tasteless article?

[Uncle Rico]

Agree with all the above. 

[4everwarriors]

Any y'all know if our resident ex-sport writer was ever involved in a similar altercation, back in the day, hey?

[MUBurrow]

Did he do more than write a tasteless article?

Embiid pushed him and said "The next time you bring up my dead brother and my son again, you are going to see what I'm going to do to you and I'm going to have to ... live with the consequences."  That's fine to my subjective ledger. 

But if you needed any more of a measure of this guy, it was this:

Embiid later said he doesn't care what reporters say. "But you do," Hayes answered.

Hayes is a troll and is using Embiid's family to get a rise out of him. He deserves a punch in the face.

Media should not be allowed in locker rooms.
