Who and why is your favourite from these three candidates?
I like Kenny Atkinson. I think he's ready to take the Bucks forward.
Supposedly giannis wants griffin, so that seems like a done deal
Giannis has already come out and said he wants Adrian Griffin. Good enough for me, better keep the man happy!
Why griffin tho that’s what I want to know
I'd go with Griffin or Atkinson. ✊🏀
I would really love Kenny Atkinson. However, if I want a assistant, it'd be Chris Quinn. I also believe that Frank Vogel would be an awesome addition to a coaching staff if not a head position
Heard Giannis wants Adrian Griffith. If this is true likely will be him
1. Nurse – only option with a clear case to be a Bud upgrade
2. Atkinson – like the idea fine, agree with Camille
3. Griffen – not enough info to evaluate
Kind of depends on how all in Bucks are going. If it's to win next year Nurse seems like the clear choice. Either he's got the secret sauce or not but you'd find out right away. Think Bucks just need to pull the trigger on that and see. It might not work but it's the only one that's a clear explanation as a Bud upgrade. Seemed like they weren't interviewing him but maybe he just got to skip the first round?
Atkinson might have a longer tenure if he's the guy. Might be a smoother ride with him.
Think the decider might actually be who will come play for them for fewer $. Buck need another Bobby Portis type pick up and think it matters which coach is more likely to contribute to that happening.
Adrian griffin is a huge question mark for me. I have nothing to add.
Nick nurse was completely against my preferences prior to your Nick nurse pod in which I kinda began to accept him as an option.
Kenny Atkinson is the closest personality fit in my opinion and his plethora of experience studying under some of the best coaches in the league is enticing. He was able to take nothing in Brooklyn and develop the
into contenders.
We badly need development of the talent we already have. Also–the team needs to better share th burden of energy plays and defense because Giannis and Jrue are rendered too fatigued to be efficient often times.
Great episode! I agree with everything besides what Kane said about we should want a coach that can improve our offense. We averaged 118.8 points against Miami in the first round. The problem was defense and inability to make ingame adjustments to get butler and his supporting cast out of rhythm. No attention to detail whatsoever. Everyone was guarding on an island and we were in drop giving up wide open 3s off bam screens to shooters and pick and pop 3s for love and midrange to bam. Nurse is the best fit in my opinion for this roster. Even though I think we’ll probably struggle in the regular season because nurse will be testing out stuff and trying to get people used to his offensive philosophy and different defensive schemes, I think it will pay dividends in the playoffs. Also don’t know how Atkinson and griffin can lead a championship roster and a superstar. Nurse is the best option and if we don’t get him bye bye Giannis. Don’t care about all that stability bs we had that with bud already I’m willing to take some risk because his potential is way higher than those other coaches. I just love his mindset against other opposing stars. He would NEVER EVER EVER allow jimmy butler to average damn near 40 on us lmao. That was a joke
I think they need to move Beauchamp to the starting lineup and have Allen come off the bench. They need an infusion of athleticism in the starting lineup. Beauchamp is better off playing in the starting lineup with the likes of Lopez, Middleton and giannis. He'll get better quicker that way. Those players can cover up some of his mistakes.
