Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
Doc has done good coaching jobs, like the 1999-2000 season with the Orlando Magic. He looks like he is a great motivator and manager of egos. However, he gets outcoached pretty often in the X and Os. Maybe he is too "old-school" for the modern NBA. All in all, I think the Bucks made a mistake firing their previous coaches, and now they are paying (both literally and figuratively) the consequences of those decisions. It's a pity, because I would like to see a disputed Eastern Conference with the Celtics, Knicks, Sixers and Bucks all fighting for the throne.
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
If they fire Doc and are simultaneously paying 4 head coaches is that a record?
Will Jon Horst be willing to resign over his own ineptitude?
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
[QUOTE=Meticode;14952782]Sure it is. The big deal was made before the season even started. They hired Doc Rivers thus dooming themselves since last season.
You can argue that trading Holiday for Lillard was a choice they needed to make to change something. I disagree with it because part of the Bucks identity then was defense. They traded away one of the best perimeter defending guards who can net you 15-20PPG.
But...once they made the decision to hire Doc Rivers they doomed themselves. Rivers is HIGHLY overrated because of his 2008 Championship with the Celtics where he was gifted 3 Hall of Fame players still at the end of their primes. He hasn't done anything else outside of that.
The Bucks will not find success under Doc Rivers.[/QUOTE]Rivers may not be the answer but they fired two coaches in a year before they even got to Rivers so the "problem" goes deeper than just pinning it all on Doc. Any time a coach gets fired the GM and/or owner is admitting that they made a major mistake. You add in the way the defense fell apart and that the eventual Champion jumped in about 5 seconds after they moved Holiday and it's time to question people other than just the coach.

disagree- the perimeter players just have to step up.
This team is pretty well set, but lack luster 'D' doesn't do it inthe NBA now days.

They should have gone with nick nurse but petty reasons got in the way.
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
Doc Rivers is one of the most garbage coaches in the history of the league and Lillard is one of the most overrated players. Top 75 all time? lol
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
Down 7 against the Cavs currently :oldlol:
Fire Doc already

Mitchell :bowdown::bowdown:
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
Mitchell is amazing. Jazz fans are in shambles again tonight.
Nobody cares about the Bucks btw. Their ring was not a joke per se but an injury riddled season with a magical confluence of circumstances that they seized and good for them. They will be lucky to so much as sniff the ECF as constructed. Giannis is a mostly one dimensional bore, Lillard is dynamic but not a needle mover, trading Holiday was a blunder, Doc is a joke.
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
The sixers and the bucks have been heading downhill so far.
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
The bucks seem done. BroLo is fnally old, middleton cannot stay healthy, role players like Trent are atrocious and Lillard cannot defend a cone.
OKC should throw in some of their hundreds of picks and make a move for Giannis
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
Get gianus out of there!!
Rest in piss lillard mr loyalty, kicked and screamed to get traded then sucks a fat c0ck:lol
Re: Bucks in 14th place in the east
