You can't have the record over the past 4-5 years and only get one chip. Also knocked out of the 1st round. No bueno. SMH
Jalen and Wilbon cant even predict well.. remember them saying Lakers wont even make it tk play in not even checkng the stats or how many wins a team in the west can shake up thingss. common dont act like you are an expert because clearly show you lack of xhecking facts
Lol these teams wonder why they never win again firing coaches every 2 seasons
Frank Vogel
The media is evil
Giannis and Jrue saved his career with the championship. He was due any day
Go get Ty Lue
Whaaat 😮
Nick nurse new coach of bucks
They are so dumb
Please understand the day Ham left their defensive schemer left.
Giannis getting hurt hurt them nothing to do with coaching upset happen its sports
It's all about giannis making him look bad cause giannis made the media eat crow for winning a ring and putting up 50 in championship without a jump shot
I think the Bucks should hire Quinn Snyder.
Love this synopsis when it's serious 😁🇨🇦🇺🇸🎯
Im from Milwaukee and i love my bucks but i been sayin he was a trash coach…
When i look at they offense when they need key game deciding baskets or even jus the teams play in general they seem to be freestyling out there i never see any plays 90% of the time what killed me was how do u not put Crowder on Butler aint that what we picked him up for didnt give him any clock and he has lots of pedigree and playoff experience i jus dont get it
Jalen Rose😁🇨🇦🇺🇸✔
Something is going on behind the scenes with this group look at everyones energy
Love it serious too😂🇨🇦🇺🇸🤣
YES – YES – YES !!! Finally the Bucks can move forward. This was a no brainer. If Bud had stayed Giannis would've left. Bud cost the Buck a further 3 Championships. Nick Nurse is probably gonna be the new coach.
Ask the Atlanta players about Bud.
Love this talk 😁🇨🇦🇺🇸
The Bucks will be interesting to watch. They may be influx with the Haslams about to be in charge
Former head coach of the Toronto Raptor Nick Nurse could be the next head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.
That could be a perfect fit.
Hmm, wasn’t there a death in his family? Who knows how it affected his mental acuity & management of game situations. I never cheer when anyone loses their job. Hope he finds another chance!!!
This needed to happen. I don't think Bude holder was necessarily a bad coach but it's clear based off of the Bucks offense struggling to generate anything both this year and last that he's just not on that same level as the top coaches in the league when it comes to making playoff adjustments. I wish they had done this before Udoka was picked up by the Rockets. He very clearly out coached Bud last year. Nick Nurse should be a very nice puck up if they can land him.
Couldn't make inseries adjustments
To be sincere, the game plans have been horrible! Guys were winning because most of them were good
Man Giannis missed 13 frethrows. If any teams star missed 13 free throws they would lose
Look at Coach Kerr. Made an adjustment to start J. Green over Looney, who was an asset in the Kings series, to deal with Lakers' Davis. Buden couldn't make in game adjustments or mid series adjustments like Kerr or Spo
You can tell SAS has respect for homie because he let him straight cut him off 🤣
Giannis should be release he can't hit a FT to save his life
Brett Brown and Mike Budenholzer same coaching
Is it Dismissed or Fired? I’m asking from Zimbabwe 😢
70% winning record record, won a championship ? Jeeze tough out here being a certain "type" of coach these days. Just remember, Doc Rivers is still coaching despite winning one championship with 4 hall of famers, and losing in the first and second round every year since with probably 20 hall of famers on those rosters collectively. How wasn't he doing a good job as a coach if he won 70% of his games. In order to win 70% of your game, you have to be a good coach every year, and no tanking as well. Middleton and Jrue Holiday, are both great nba players, great 3 and d guys.
Coaches can't coach, if players don't want to be coached. Truth is, these players today want to be the coach, the gm, the owner, and they blame everyone but never look in the mirror. The nba has no heart, despite a couple players like Giannis.
I'm thinking if anything, after his brother died, he just doesn't have the will right now to coach. Maybe everyone is just reading too much into this, but if they did fire him for being a "bad coach" i'm curious who they pick up for a good coach that won a championship and 70% of their games.
Not enough to fire him! He brought alot of success to this team and won a chip 2 years ago! Stupid move. Now if next year the Bucks didn't make the playoffs with all players healthy, it would be a more likely reason to fire him. Not now!
SAS is right, there’s much more to this HC getting fired than the fact that the Bucks were eliminated in first round. FOs just doesn’t fire HCs who win championships and a lot of games in the regular season/playoffs.
This situation with the Bucks! Is some TV 📺 ISH🤷🏽♂️.
I’ve watched movies/Tv series and stuff like this happens!. So ima say SOMETHING HAPPENED OFF THE COURT! And they letting him go because of it!… and now BUCK NOT GETTING BACK TO THE FINALS!
Get Udoka pleaseeeeee
Nick Nurse
I hate Malika Andrews!. She's getting a free ride as a diversity hire, female agenda BS hire. She sounds like a man, act like she know what she's talking about, brings absolutely nothing to the show. Fire this women!
Bud just wasn't getting it done in the past 5 years like he should have and the mistakes he made during this year's series were far too egregious to keep him on. I am so happy that he brought the team a title and I am truly praying for him and his family however. He'll bounce back very quickly with his resume.
As for now, I think Nick Nurse and Kenny Atkinson would be perfect coaches for this team. I'd say Darwin Ham, but the Lakers snatched him up first.
the man need break time.. mike didn't have clue in 4th quarter just depend on giannis only and predictable
There's a party in Milwaukee tonight.
