Nick Nurse lol
If you fired Buderholzer you should fire Chris Finch in Minnesota.
If they revamp this team and nick nurse.
Bucks should get Steph Curry
Nick Nurse to the Bucks confirmed!
No one is surprised about this.
Why want anyone hire Mark Jackson
He was supposed to get fired 2 years ago but I guess winning that championship bought him another 2 years like what happened to Frank Vogel.
Giannis could have saved this man's job if he shot 60% from the line.
The man's brother died in a car crash before Game 4, he probably wasn't even thinking straight and now it gives some insight into his in game apathy and lack of adjustments. His star player not being able of sinking 50% of his FT's and being unable to hit a shot 3 feet outside the basket certainly didn't help.
Should Def been fired
It wasn’t his fault…the GREEK FREAK missed 2 1/2 games
Wow, I thought Jalen Rose was fire for sexual harassment or something
It wasn't his fault I don't think he deserved be fired this gonna bite bucks back watch him go coach another team and make them good
Who would Bucks fan like to see replace him? If this team is ready to win I do not see an assistant coach taking over. So who out there can help this team right now? Also, is it a coaching issue or they need a few different players to get them back in contention.
Thanks buckwheat
What this means is, they definitely wanted to get rud of him before they got lucky and the chip. This also means, Giannis was healthier than is fans really want to admit
I’m totally an outsider but Um what coach out there is better than Bud? Nick Nurse is not that good! Just stop!…
dude got carried by Giannis. i’ve seen this since 2020. dude should’ve been gone. not surprised
Despite what Giannis said, I bet the Bucks management considered this season a failure. 🧐
He didn’t make too many adjustments
BUCKS NEED BRAD BEAL OR DAME LILLARD!!!!!💯💯💯💯 TRADE KHRIS
I think this is good, for both sides
Budenholzer has nothing to prove. Took a team from nowhere to the NBA title, and developed Giannis is to an MVP, so he's proven he can coach. Giannis also got hurt, so that's part of it. The Bucks need a new voice, a change of speak, in the locker room, and the time is right to shake things up.
Not surprised
I saw this coming. There was just no way he could keep his postition after the way his team collapsed. Yes, Giannis and the rest of those guys are responsible too, but he could've probably prevented all of it. He can still be a head coach because he is a solid one, just not for any team with championship aspirations. Outside of that, my condolences to him and his family. Really sad to hear about his brother. 🙏
This is a huge mistake
i literally said the same thing about him and nick nurse switching jobs
Brother passing or not let the assistant coaches handle the decisions if your head is not on straight this is a billion dollar business and the Bucks shouldn’t have lost in the first round.
Imagine nick nurse, an absolute genius coach, coaching giannis, hes gonna make the bucks scarier
They feel they have reached their peak with him,much respect to Coach Bud,he turn the Hawks around at one point and he turn the Bucks into champions,it was tine
I think we all know why Jalen Rose hates this guy. He’s such a racist.
It's champ or chop. For crying out loud they were champs 2 years ago. They were in the mix last year. This year they were #1, the best player got injured. he's didn't deserve that.
What a weird coach he went 60-22 with a starting line up of Teague, Korver, Carroll, Millsap and Horford where 4 of the 5 were all stars that year . You would think he would dominate with the Bucks line up 🤦🏾♂️ pretty sure he’ll get a new gig else where with his resume
It's pretty obvious. Need to hire more black coaches.
Rose is a stoner
Who is the dude talking to Rose
Overreaction. This team needs to retool the roster and find new pieces for Giannis to work with. Middleton is spent, and several others just didn't play with enough heart to win. Firing an established coach wasn't the answer, but players always get a pass.
The least surprising decision of the entire year
Man had a good excuse as you can get. Also Giannis said Jason Kidd mad him the player he is today. Just wanna throw that out there.
Yall just lost the leagues best coach
He has teams overperform. Morons
Milwaukee Buck's should get,, Udoka he be a good fit!!
