Didn’t he just get hired?
Joe Prunty and Scary Terry in the NBA news cycle within in the same couple of hours? It feels like 2018
Not even a full season?? Feels like the Bucks GM knows he’s on the hot seat
Wow 2 seeds half way through the year don’t usually fire their coach. Definitely something internal going on, my guess is disagreements with dame and Giannis
What a trade to the Heat does to a franchise.
Please don’t let their defense get better
Please hire Doc that would be the funniest outcome
Wtf lol out of left field
How many first year coaches have been fired after starting 30-13?
This has Dame/Giannis written all over it. You don’t just fire your coach who has a winning record and has you 3 games out of the 1 seed.
They are likely replacing him with Doc Rivers lmao. Stick a fork in the Bucks. They are done.
It’s actually insane that the team with the 2nd best record in the conference just canned their coach midseason wow
Something more had to have been happening behind the scenes, like dust ups with Horst, Giannis, maybe even Prunty, etc. because this is unprecedented. Wonder what happens with the Bucks now
Did he pull an Ime?
Please be Please be Please be Doc.
Stotts leaving before the season turned out to be as big of a red flag as it looked
If they actually hire Doc Rivers I’ll start considering Philly/Miami as harder competition in the playoffs than Milwaukee.
Doc is a serious contender for the opening lmao
My friend a bucks fan told me this was coming on Saturday, and I was like no way man they are second in the east. I guess he was right.
Lol. Lmao even
Ime 2.0
Brutal month for the Griffin family. First Aubrey tears her ACL for UConn, now this. Way more upset about the 1st one and not this at all, but still.
uhoh we might have to play them round 1
This is fucking huge news. Wow
Fucking wild, if it’s not an Ime type situation this makes absolutely no sense.
They’re 30-13, 2nd in the East, and have won 5 out of their last 6 games (and demolished us recently).
Really hope this ends up blowing up in their faces.
Guessing the domestic abuse allegations caught up with him, but just speculation.
If the Heat get eliminated before we see them literally not shit is stopping us from steamrolling the east
(Not that I think the Heat would beat THIS Celtics team in 7, thats just the trauma speaking)
👀
Wtf happened? Thought they are improving?
Very surprising, I mean he’s no Joe Mazzulla but they still have a pretty good record and #2 in the East. Their stars must’ve really wanted him gone.
Ok Miami see you in the ECF I guess
30-13. Not good enough.
I hope they lose in the first round.
So random. Not sure there are any head coaches available that would be a real upgrade.
Stotts because of the Dame connection? Meh. I can’t see them hiring Doc, but would love to see that. Bud is also available, but don’t see him going back there.
Con Air up in there
Players’ league, probably didn’t vibe with Dame and Giannis. They’ll be fine without him better to rip the bandaid off early to be ready for the playoffs
This is so, so fucking stupid. I know he hasn’t been great but this a genuinely appalling decision.
