Adrian Griffin after loss to Houston: ‘I loved how we fought and tried to get out of it’



Adrian Griffin after loss to Houston: ‘I loved how we fought and tried to get out of it’

Another kind of slow offensive night for Dame um just what have you seen from him recently just not being able to find a rhythm on the offense no he’ll come uh I you know it’s it’s a team sport it’s five five guys out there you know I thought we dug

Oursel in a hole as a unit but I love how we fought and got out tried to get out of it just kind of ran out of time but you know like I said Dame’s going to sometimes the ball doesn’t fall for you and like he was getting some good look

And then sometimes they you know give them credit they you know they were switching they’re long they’re athletic um you know uh they did a good job uh defensively but I thought the second half we started making some adjustments on both sides of the ball and I thought

Uh we had some good production from you know some of our young guys coming in Dre was terrific Mar John was terrific uh we’ll figure it out and Dame will figure it out you know it’s uh you know always sucks to lose but you know we win

Together uh and and we lose together um you know they didn’t have Dylan Brooks and it wasn’t just D I mean you know Yannis had 16 field goals the whole team only made 19 so what outside of Giannis were they maybe doing to create that many stops or create that

Many Miss shots well I think uh number one it just starts with defense I think in the the first half we just wasn’t uh able to get as many stops as we would like and you know that helps us in to get out and transition you know we’re

We’re pretty good you know Giannis is you know Giannis in transition Dame in transition you know Chris we can get easy baskets and you know when you’re taking the ball out just hard you know to to to get those clean looks and you

Have to you know walk it up or get it up the floor and now you got to execute so but I thought in the second half we started to get a lot more more stops uh you know we switched up our defense they did a good job with that uh and then we

Were able to to score the second half I think we you know put up uh 35 in the fourth and uh we held them to 49 uh points in the second half so uh a lot of that I think just stemmed early on uh just not being able to get some stops um

Just what you see from a ball pressure standpoint in that first half of them being able to get to the rim and maybe affect you guys that way no I don’t know if it’s a ball pressure you know they switch a lot um you know they they did a

Good job when they do switch they scramm their all so uh you know give them credit they did a good job following their game plan uh defensively um but also I thought you know again we we had some open looks and we got we got to

Knock them down you know uh we only made nine threes tonight uh probably shot the ball somewhere around the three from 25 26% you know on the road you got to be able to knock down open shots and uh you know we missed a few uh free throws and

That we normally make so you know you got to play well it’s a very good team well coached team and um again they they jumped on us early or we dug oursel in the hole early and uh but I like how we you know you it’s always kind of a game

In the game within a game and you know we made some adjustments and I love the fight you know in the second half and and you know we didn’t give up um you know again we ran out a little bit of time but I I love how we competed in the second [Applause]

    You couldn't beat the rockets on a b2b game and with them missing Brooks, you are an ignorant idiot, you should have stayed as an assistant coach, not everyone is destined to be a coach. Same shit every game, every time, same defense, same Dame subs, same giannis subs, its soooo fucking predictable. Idiotic lineups, Can you do something that the players didn't tell you to?? FUCK NO. Go back to being Ass-istant coach

    This coach is so disappointing and disorganized 😞🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ if we lose to Boston he has to go

  10. @leontheo2926

    This year not even the play-offs. With this clown as the coach. Giannis should ask for a trade this team is done

  13. @jasonmusic9938

    i honor him for his first year but our veterans legs dont have another ten years on them, he can maybe some day come back as head coach but cmon, something needs to be done, maybe its the players slump type thing mid season, but i think if the bucks want to save face they have to make a major coaching change on all fronts and some defensive changes within the active roster, which would mean giving up valuable assets, otherwise we are looking at an embarrassing last half of the season. griff i love you man but something more stern needs to happen, and now.

    Gotta do something about that perimeter defense…the majority of the games y'all lost has been because of horrible defense. And what's going on with Mr Lillard. This is not how I imagined him playing. Giannis is still carrying this team offensively… coach Griffin, stop sitting back and letting these guys just play and start coaching…🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

    This coach is so lost its unbelievable, he needs to go, dame looks lost and confused on what he should do…all on the fn coach

    Come on now Bucks fans, let’s kill all this “Bucks Panic” about the team. The Bucks are perfectly fine right now. This is a championship team that is trying to get through the dog days of the NBA. It’s January lol. I have “0” worries about this team because all of there problems stem from lack of effort and team learning each other. And are still almost in 1st place. This team just wants to get to playoffs healthy. They’ll get crowder back but there will be a significant pick up made via buyout market. The Bucks are in cruise control and I love how coach Griffin has shown zero panic and has really done a terrific job. His patience is perfect for team. This bucks group is very similar to the 2010 Celtics that made the run to game 7 in Finals and I said the same thing about them then.

    To anyone complaining about dame I swear if he was in Miami with an actual coach and team he would average 30 on 48% 3pt shooting

  29. @wunderkid8749

    They are 2 big problems for the Bucks : their defense and their offense. This is why Dame struggles. This team just uses Giannis to make a play but there is no systems calls. No ball movement. It was the same thing with Bud offensively. But they had the defense. Now the defense is also terrible. I really dont know if Coach Griffin as a rookke coach as enough to get things around.

  30. @yfbotha

    Easiest schedule most of year and still crap defense. Midget Dame ain't it, the bucks aint it.

  34. @whitewalker3292

    Bucks should consider trading lillard for herro, a wing defender like Caleb and a backup c like Thomas Bryant. Miami gets the scorer they need and they hide dame better on defense and dame plays for a coach that Actualy utilizes him. Bucks get some defense and younger players they need

  35. @denzelcoy565

    The offense is even more appaling than then defense. Assuming that its players fault that the cant defend, what we have watched tonight is really a joke. The only thing that Griffin knows to do is to give to ball to Giannis at the post. When Giannis is benched they give the ball to Portis at the post. 😂

    Coach acting like he doesn't need to win the championship or go to the finals. Thry fired a championship coach for him and he is acting like dumb kid
