Giannis Did This To Himself
Bucks fans were excited they fired their coach we knew for months this defense was awful good job so who’s the replacement Doc Rivers no God no God please no well I guess this will be interesting but why are the Bucks acting like this making wild decisions because
Of Giannis dude has made it clear he will leave this franchise if they don’t win you think he needs to be a free agent no Giannis signed a big deal before the season but in the era of player empowerment don’t think he won’t ask out Milwaukee was so bad on defense
Bobby Marx calls them the Hawks on steroids which is true got to score 141 just to beat the Pistons so if they knew Adrian Griffin wasn’t the guy don’t wait to the end of the season do it now you can’t afford to waste a Prime season of
Giannis just to lose in the second round Giannis said he will stay as long as everyone is doing all they can to win and that’s what this firing shows but how much of this is on Giannis himself but first today’s video is sponsored by Underdog my favorite game is called pick
Them where you pick higher lower on any of your favorite players and whatever game that you’re going to watch that night you can up to 20 extra money on a single night but I want to give you my two picks for tonight’s game first up is Stephen Curry higher assist I mean
They’re playing the Hawks so there will be a lot of offense also without Chris Paul Steph has hit this set the last eight times sweet next up is lamelo ball I just want to watch lamelo they’re playing the Pistons so again a lot of offense we’re going to go higher on his
Points I think he will clean up with Terry roier now in Miami best of luck if you are tailing those picks check out this map to see if Underdog is available in your area but please use the promo code am Hoops you can double your deposit up to 100 bucks but mostly it
Really really helps out the channel again promo code am Hoops in the offseason they fired coach Mike but holer who is an amazing basketball mind he coached the Hawks in 2015 to the one seed whose best players were Al Horford Kyle corver and Jeff Teague the season
Before Milwaukee hired Bud they were the eight seed under coach Jason kit Bud immediately put them in the one seed backto back years then won the title in 2021 he was criticized for not making adjustments in the playoffs so when they lost to the eight seed heat in the first
Round he was out but the Bucks had three finalists for a new head coach Kenny ainson Nick nurse and Adrian Griffin Giannis met with all three but personally picked Griffin with no head coach experience then a few weeks later we got our first red flag to help Damen Lillard feel comfortable they hired
Terry stots to be assistant coach Terry coached Dame for 9 years in Portland and is still one of the most respected guys in the league so one week before the season in after practice Griffin called one huddle for the players one huddle for the coaches stots started to walk
With Giannis and Dame to give a detail on the offense Griffin said hey Terry come with the coaches and Terry said oh I’ll be right there I just got to tell Dame and Giannis one quick thing and Griffin then yelled I said come with the coaches in front of everyone so Terry
Stots quit a few days later dude lost his lead assistant because he was too insecure about having him on his bench I’m sure Giannis felt a little uneasy about that but when games actually started he knew they were screwed Griffin installed an aggressive defense that backfired the players had to
Convince him to trash it then after went in late November he admitted Giannis changed one of his plays in crunch time down the stretch I was looking at Dame who hit a couple of big threes trying to get a play for him again and yanis was
Like uh Hey we’ve got to go to Chris Middleton the first sign Yannis did not respect him as as a coach there’s even video of Giannis drawing up his own plays recently but it was really exposed after their inseason tournament lost to the Pacers the Bucks were outscored 15
To7 in the final 240 of play Bobby poris confronted Griffin to his face about their lack of a plan in crunch time no one commented on that locker room argument but Giannis made his feelings clear we have to be more organized we have to know what we’re trying to get
Down the stretch nothing is given to you in an NBA game like we have to know what we’re actually trying to accomplish down the stretch I feel like sometimes we weren’t on the same page and it cost us then in a big game facing the Celtics against Drew holiday who they traded for
Dame Giannis blew up at his coach on live TV Giannis got called for a travel Midway through the third quarter Griffin took him out of the game down 14 Yannis tells him no no I don’t want to come out but Griffin insisted then Giannis refuses to go to the bench heated on the
Scores table for taking him out this really reminds you of the only other time a coach was fired while being this successful in 2016 the Cavaliers fired David blat despite being 30 and 11 he made the finals one year before but during the season you saw Kyrie argue
With him about a timeout LeBron James pushed his own coach while arguing about a call the Cavs won the title that season by the way but dude had lost the respect of his best players so this wasn’t just about the bad defense Giannis didn’t respect anything about
The way this guy coached he didn’t like his rotations his lack of a plan in certain spots but defense is their biggest issue under budon Holzer the Hawks had the number one D their first two years slipped to 9 and4 but they won the title in 2021 this season 22nd in
The NBA since defensive tracking started only two teams have won outside of the top 15 the Denver Nuggets last year and the 01 sha Kobe Lakers if something doesn’t change the Bucks are screwed and you knew a big change was coming after Giannis went on this rant after a loss
We have to play better we have to defend better we have to trust one another better we have to be coach better every single thing everybody has to be better everybody it starts from the equipment manager he has to wash our clothes better the bench has to be better the
Leaders of the team have to be more vocal we have to make more shots we have to defend better we have to have better strategy we have to be better you know and hopefully now it’s what are what are we January 6th we have um we have four months to
Get better so let’s see but that’s a problem because the Bucks have almost zero ways to improve the roster outside of Dame Middleton and Yannis they have Brook Lopez who you can’t trade as the second best defender Bobby poris and Pat conon who are okay zero great young
Players zero first round picks and two seconds rumors say they want dejon Murray for what that’s as dumb as a Lakers saying they want Donovan Mitchell or Trey young it’s not going to happen so the only real move here was to fire the head coach now they are closing in
On Doc Rivers he might already be the coach by the time you see this and look I like Doc on TV and on podcast but he has blown three 3-1 leads and 232 leads I used to think Ah that’s just lazy analysis look at some point it’s not a
Coincidence there have been only 13 blown 31 leads ever so 23% of the time it’s done by doc I know he won the title in 2008 but the NBA was so much different back then and his lead assistant was Tom Tibido who became a legend by himself the Sixers didn’t skip
A beat losing James Harden this year and Nick nurse was a big reason why the guy the Bucks could have had Philly now looks great on the court and players were relieved that doc was gone so now I guess we’re going to see if Adrien Griffin was the problem or if they
Should never have fired Buton holer and traded Drew Holliday for Damen Lillard I know the Dame pick and roll is nice but every team Dame has been on has been a defensive disaster and you cannot win a championship like that which would be the exact scenario if I don’t know Trey
Young was with Victor Wim banama on the Spurs oh wait that is an actual rumor that is 100% legit not only is Trey openly flirting with wimy at this point but there is another reason that trade actually makes sense

The Bucks fired their head coach while holding onto the 2-seed in the East. It wasn’t a shock if you’ve watched the games and seen how miserable Giannis has been but now they’ve replaced him with Doc Rivers. This is a look at why they fired Adrian Griffin and why Giannis takes the blame.

Can’t wait for the Tristan Thompson vid
Giannis was paired up with Dame, he had no more excuses or legitimate reasons for being discontent…until they hired Doc😂
i remember casey when he started his youtube in 2020, he had around 20k subscribers and man u have worked your ass off to get here. supre proud of you and keep growing. never stop making such videos
Joel will beat them now in the second round
"He has to wash our clothes better" is the best line in recent NBA history. The equipment manager was like "What did I do?!"
Not getting nurs is worst then expected.
Why not terry stotts?
This is horrible for the Bucks especially in the playoffs.
I feel this is a better fit for doc because it'll be a familiar kind of team similar to the one he won a championship with. Giannis is like KG, Middleton a Paul Pierce, and Dame Ray Allen…all they really need is a good perimeter defender to come in on a vet salary like Shumpert if he's still able to play. He would be a good perimeter defender. That's my opinion on it🤷🏾
Giannis is getting traded to Golden State.
feel sad for Giannis, from humble beginning to becoming a big headed superstar.
I don't think this is going to end well for the Bucks.
as a bucks fan myself i am super happy everyone is healthy and cooking but also very mad at the same time.🤷
Giannis wanted to be like lebron with a blk coach 😂😂😂😂
6:24 the equipment manager catching a stray is a top 10 moment this season
Dame needs to request a trade to go to the Celtics or the Heat
It’s always puzzled me why the bucks didn’t pick up nick nurse. I think he was hands down the best coach of the bunch and prove too with a chip, and his family lives near there so he probably wanted to be with the bucks. No doubt they would have been head and shoulder better defensively with him and they might have actually lived up to the #1 contender championship predictions. Now I know Gannis didn’t choose him, the title is right, he really did do this to himself.
Insane Paul Millsalp disrespect
Should’ve gone after Nick Nurse. Much better fit for the Bucks. One of the guys who figured out how to actually gameplan for Giannis. May not have been a former NBA player like Griffin but way less controversy and has championship, COTY experience. We’ve seen what he can do with a good roster imagine what he could do with a top 3 player and a 75 anniversary player as a costar.
Equipment Manager better start using Tide on their Jerseys or his job is next.
Just to spite me as a Sixers fan this will pan out to work somehow
"You can't waste a season of prime Giannis just to lose in the second round!"
Which is exactly why they hired….Doc Rivers, the king of losing badly in the second round 😂😂😂 these playoffs are gonna be so fun
Maybe the Bucks should call Stotts…
Huge huge mistake by the Bucks, Rivers is a mediocre coach that was lucky with the Boston roster on 2008, to put you in perspective what this man has done, he ruined the sign in from Duncan to the Magic when he told Tim his family could not travel in the team's airplane, really?, he told Penny Hardaway he needed to change how to play bball, ah? wtf? He blew out a 3-1 in Orlando against the Pistons in '03 then he got lucky in Boston then he went to the Clippers and blew a 3-1 lead, TWICE.. TWICE.. Really? Bad coach very very bad coach, has no vision of the new movement, holds the wrong players accountable, let the "stars" do whatever they want, no compromise. in other words NO BALLS to WIN!!!. Good luck to the Bucks cos they are going to need it, when you make these type of dishonest moves, going behind coach Griffin's back bringing a "consultant" to then take over your job. The outcome will be really really bad, you will see., Just like all the mediocre moves in the league with the bunch of overrated clowns asking for trades….Hope Giannis don't become a soft queen like LeFraud and starts destroying franchises whit his requests.
Giannis is racist that’s why he went with the inexperienced Adrian Griffin
