Ty.  But 50, 13, and 9 is still acceptable.

How about the Bucks being 1-3 now?

Rinse, repeat.

I know what the optics look like, but if these first few games are glimpse of what Giannis will look like post-30, you almost have to make the move if things continue to go south.

Doc Rivers is a terrible coach and franchise killer

Honestly he isn't a great coach. He won a championship with three HOF players years ago.

Last off-season's coaching search was a complete disaster. Bud probably had to go, but Griffin was such a bad choice on a number of levels. So Doc comes in and does what Doc does.

In retrospect that either should have just shown Bud some grace since he won a championship and because he just went through the death of his father. Or they should have hired a big boy candidate.

Especially brutal cause the Cavs went and got Kenny Atkinson, a guy who is a known name and got a raw deal in Brooklyn, and he's completely morphed them into an offensive juggernaut.

That's who I wanted them to hire all along.

But I do also think Doc is getting more heat than he should, when this core has been doing a lot of the same crap across three head coaches. He has two former head coaches on his bench. I don't think it's totally a tactical issue. At some point it comes down to the players doing what they're supposed to (glaring at you, Portis).

Here's the biggest issue, IMO.  John Horst draft picks since becoming the GM of the Bucks:

  • DJ Wilson at 17
  • Sterling Brown at 46
  • Donte DiVincenzo at 17
  • Jordan Nwora at 45
  • Sandro Mamukelashvili at 54
  • Georgios Kalaitzakis at 60
  • MarJon Beauchamp at 24
  • Andre Jackson Jr. at 36
  • Chris Livingston at 58
  • AJ Johnson at 23
  • Tyler Smith at 33

Once you had Giannis, you should've been looking to hit singles.  Guys who can play a role.  Give you minutes, show enough promise to be tradeable.  Obviously when you're picking mid to late first round and second round every year that you have picks (because you've continually traded away every tradeable pick) you aren't going to hit on every pick.  But you drafted one player who is capable of playing NBA minutes in your entire time as a GM, and you traded him away for a guy who was beyond washed and quit basketball under a year into his time with your team.

The Bucks keep getting older and less athletic because they've hit on nobody since Horst took over as GM going into the 2017 Draft.  His picks aren't even good enough to turn into tradeable contracts, because they're out of the league before getting a second contract.

1-4 if they lose to Memphis tonight.  Would you show him the door by Thanksgiving?  Sooner?  :)  I was just curious.

I guess the Bucks clamped down in the 2Q by only allowing 30.  70-48 Memphis at the half.  Morant has 21, 8, and 9.

Ouch.

Bucks are within 30 to start the 4th Q.

This is not going to end well for Doc Rivers.
