The REAL Reason Adrian Griffin Was Fired By The Bucks 

😂

or up 3-2 😔

🤡

If they do ,I know it’s over…. I better not see them up 3-1 otherwise I’m winning money

They have to make sure every series goes to 3-0

Having watched every game of Dame's NBA career in Portland... ball don't lie.

@@Max-kw2hpthat’s a different variation usually used by people from the UK. Not that uncommon, smart guy.

Malik Beasley ain't playing it either. One of them guards have to lock up.

@@Max-kw2hphey watch yourself. I once made fun of some dude for saying “defence” only to find out he was an Aussie and they spell it that way there 😂😂 joke was on me at that point.

@@elizaschaeffer34there’s only one way to spell defense in English. And most Australians speak English so I’m not sure what ur talking sbout

i’d rather have both of them instead of dame

Grayson was not a good defender. Losing 2 more point of attack defenders off the bench in wesley matthews and jevon carter was what hurt us in addition to losing jrue

@@knacho751 Obviously he's not. He's average, but he's still miles better than Dame, Beasley, and Payne in defense.

​@@eyeconqueror1185How did that work out last year?

Bro said Grayson Allen 😂

FR. So this coming and said that I’m not gonna have this on my resume

Terry literally said, as deciding to leave the squad “Fu@k this maniac, I’m gone.”

@@AyeYoYoYooohe fr said that? im curious to see a source because thats wild

@@SpencerOnYT might have been Shams or Marc Stein that reported that….

Why wasnt Terry Stotts hired as the #1 coach ? Pure curiousity given I find it a bit nuts that a contender would hire a rookie head coach.

Yes!!!!!

@@scottwalters9440👍🏽

Your impatient arse ain’t getting that until the playoffs.

Huge win for the Knicks thus far. Their advanced stats with OG on the floor are insane. His +/- has been ridiculous

Haha i just commented on their game 6 loss how the bucks players body language with dame is telling. I watched about a dozen bucks games this year prior to playoffs and saw the frustration lol. It's hard to play hard when dame just puts more effort into inbounding the ball to score faster rather than playing any amount of defense. Billups has been ironing that mentality out of the blazers since dame left.

You need to have some sort of diplomatic talent to survive as a coach. Apparently he didnt have it.

Bucks are an incredibly finicky team at the front office level. Firing bud was reactionary and unnecessary. Trading for Lillard was just for change and “looking busy” to keep Giannis happy. The only constant is they will do whatever to keep Giannis.

Doc didn't make Terry Stotts quit or get Giannis to start drawing up his own plays on the sideline. He was a bad fit, no more no less.

@@maxmeier532 nowadays, everywhere you MUST be like that. The society doesn't tolerate different opinions. They only want to hear, yes sir , as you wish sir . We are living in a sivk Era.

U black right? Thats why u defend adrian that much. See, i get it. 👍

There were a bunch of videos explaining why there defense was horrible 😂

Right. Talking heads blaming effort and making accusations directed at giannis. Lame.

Dame's bad on ball defense is a part of the problem.

@@elizaschaeffer34which is why I totally stopped watching LeESPN.

It's also a personnel issue. If you replace Holiday with Dame, your defense is going to suffer. Connaughton is also having a down-year and while Lopez never was a lightning-quick big man, he is getting up in age, slowing down even more. On offense, Giannis and Dame are also not a good fit. You see a lot of "your turn/my turn", because Giannis never was the role man, he likes to handle the ball and a Dame also is better with the pill in his hands.

Hedging is leaving your man

Yeah but still no reason for them to have dropped off that hard! They're almost last in defense lol

defense was bad before watch the video next time. the way he used lopez is whe problem

​@phamawa They are a top 5 defense with giannis and Lopez on the court. They are giving up less points in the paint and less rebounds per game then last year. All there problems are in the perimeter where defensive assigbemnet have shifted without jrue.

People keep saying this like Jrue guarded everyone on the court. Bucks fans who watch the games know that’s maybe 30% of the issue. Trading holiday isn’t the reason why we’re suddenly giving up the most corner 3s in the league. Everyone has dropped off and are doing their own thing

@@jame8618 no but he usually guarded the number 1 leaving number 2 amd so own to the rest. Now without him that changes you have weaker defenders now across the board as number 2 has to now guard number 1 and so on. It's a domino effect.

lol. The way you talked about this is so funny like doc is some anthropomorphic storm that just ruins everything he barley touches.

@@ethankuchma5295Honestly that sounds like a pretty good explanation of what doc is

Famned

@@annoyingoranger100 agree

Thx! 🙏

Now why would they do that lol you think they know the stats or aware of this lol

@@CaliKidd1001seems like not….

@@bballbreakdown 👍

@bucks

What?? U black and u dont like it? Bet if it was white coach, u approved that kind of thumbnail. Smh

And those chokers have never won jack without Doc. Embiid, Harden, CP3, Ben Simmons, etc are literally all time pants poopers in the post season. Those dudes weren’t gonna win under Pop, Phil Jackson, Spo, Riley, or Red Auerbach. All time pants poopers.

@@mgschwartz they ain’t win shit with him. You proved my point

​@@mgschwartzkawhi won multiple rings without doc...

​@mgschwartz good point, those dudes haven't won shit under other head coaches 😂

@@yawnymoon3116 the point is, Doc is supposed to be an elite head coach. It’s not about the other coaches, it’s about Doc not being good enough to get his elite talent over the hump

You knew this and Miami knew this before you got him but you decided to make moves to spite Miami instead of actually trying to improve your team

That's the thing, Lillard was always a terrible defender, but the rest of the roster is not that bad, one dude deficiency shouldn't literally break the entire defense, it's a collective effort. Lopez is acting like a diva tho. In the end, I do agree it's a mix of individual play and bad coaching on defense, but Lillard alone doesn't seem to be the major weak spot. And I am not even a Lillard fan, for the contrary really, but I guess the Bucks were so used to have Holiday and Allen navigating through screens, they are struggling to have "normal" perimeter defenders. Also they gave a up extension to Middleton even if his knees are banged up and the dude will never be the same (and he was already inconsistent when healthy), so the roster is in a weird spot, very talented, but crooked at the same time

@@jackmacfakie1387 Allen is just a role player, idk if others are "raving" about him or not, but it's a simple fact he is good at navigating screens. Jrue is arguably the best perimeter defender in the whole league, different level really, navigating screen is just another monday for him. Healthy Middleton was also good at that, hell, even Wesley Matthews coming off the bench was also good. Now the Bucks lost all that activity on the perimeter and they are still attached to the old drop schemes, of course it's not going to work. To accommodate Lillard, Beasley, slowed Middleton and Lopez, they have to play a different scheme, it's a collective effort as I said. It's easy to point fingers at Lillard and Beasley (even if Beasley is just ok, he is not awful like Lillard), but if the team is struggling to rotate with these dudes, the coach is to blame, also the GM who did not got rid of Middleton

@@jackmacfakie1387 Compared to the league standards, no one plays defense anymore in this shitty ass soft league, I honestly think Beasley is not abysmal (like Lillard), he is mediocre. Maybe they will have to play zones with Lopez, then change to full switch with Portis. If Jae Crowder ever achieves some consistency back, he can be the starter SF, shifting Middleton to SG, etc.. either way, they will have to change their ways defensively, they are too attached to Budenholzer's schemes (which only makes his firing even dumber, if these players are not willing to let it go)

Holiday is so good , that Butler and Miami dominated them last year. The Bucks had a different scheme and there were more defensive players on the team other than Holiday that's no longer there. Dame is way better than Holiday , things just take time to figure out. People are complaining and Bucks have 2nd best record in league😂

I heard he was a toxic in the locker room from my mate who is a raptors fan and apparently giannis doesn’t want his kind of play style. Since giannis gets the final vote, they didn’t hire him.

@@patrickstarfish420 That's a weird shout. Dude has won shit at every level and is the Canadian national team coach to boot. I'm calling BS on Nick Nurse is toxic. That being said, he couldn't coach this Bucks team any better. Nick Nurse coaching style is very analytics based. Analytics would show him Giannis can't shoot, Beasley and Dame can't defend, Splash Mountain moves like a cruise ship turning around and Bobby Portis has the attention span of a goldfish. The title winning Raptors were a team of two way studs who valued points in transition and the three ball. Gasol, Danny Green, Lowry, OG, Kawhi, Freddy. The Bucks roster is nowhere near this. You see Lillard taking charges Lowry style? Beasley locking someone up like Danny Green? It's ridiculous.

100% agree w/ you. As a Raps fan I am happy too... but cheering on NN in Philly.

I call BS too.... he is very well respected across the league amongst players. If you lack a hard driving work ethic you won't like playing for Nick.. imo he's in the top 5@@patrickstarfish420

well said @@jackmacfakie1387

i still feel like the pistons and bucks, hired the coach the other team needed. just from a basketball fit and timeline standpoint

"flopping in the playoffs" he says while the Bucks see the most success they've had as a franchise in decades, perhaps even ever they knee jerk reacted by firing Bud just because "he lost in the first round to an 8th seed!" Miami had milwaukee figured out for years and Spo is one of the best coaches of all time, every series Miami won after that firing just made it look worse and worse. There isn't shame losing here but Bucks fans think there is for some reason. Did Celtics fire their coach after losing? Did Knicks? Jesus Christ! I know Bucks fans think they should be a dynasty with Giannis but it's hard to win in this league, you can't win every year. How'd they do with Bud? First season, Bud wins coach of the year and the Bucks make the ECF for the first time in almost 20 years, losing in 6 games to the eventual champion Toronto Raptors. Second season, lose in the second round to the Heat and the Heat would make the Finals, not a scrub team or a fluke win. Third season, they actually overcome Miami and immediately win the championship. Fourth season, lose a close series in 7 games to the Celtics in the 2nd round and the Celtics would go on to make the finals. Last season, lose in the first round to the Heat who would go on to make the Finals. Bud gets criticized by Bucks fans for this loss but Giannis lost the series for the Bucks by shooting abysmally from the foul line and actively choked game 5 away by missing a staggering amount of free throws in the 4th quarter and overtime. You see the pattern? The Bucks have only ever lost to the team that would advance to the Finals, not a fluke win or a choke or anything other than just sometimes it's not your fucking year. Somehow Bud gets all the criticism when losing was a *team* effort. The Spurs went 7 years between winning championships between 2007 and 2014 so by Milwaukee's logic they should have fired popovich after losing in the first round to the Grizzlies in 2011. Bucks fans are spoiled rotten and they deserve to see the disappointment they're going to have with the most famous choke artist coach of all time.

🤡

lol, aint no way u tellin a 7 footer with 3 blocks a game to sit on the bench and coach

Correct, we're not. A player-coach once won the championship actually ​@@themilliondollarbaby

@@themilliondollarbaby i think what he meant was make Lopez a playing coach(defense), not benching him.

That’s what you took out the video? Griffin tried to correct the problem they have survived with for years. The video showed an unwillingness for everyone to buy in more than anything. Griffin probably was just letting them do them. And guess what if that failed it still have been a problem. Lopez looks extremely childish in these clips

Brook actually looks like an old Dinosaur out there. He will be picked on forever?

If you know you know. Most of these "experts" miss things like this it's cringe.

Just say you don't watch or follow the Bucks and keep moving. Griffin was hired before Dame trade, as they thought they would take a step back. Thus were willing to give a rookie head coach a year to adapt. Dame Trade came out of nowhere, and he has been average defensively. Bringing Dame put championship pressure on a rookie coach, and the gave him half the season to try. Now as a defensive coach, he can't even make them average, and there has been dissent in the locker room, he had to be let go.

Facts. From top 4-5 in defense to bottom 3rd

But the Bucks moved to #1 on offense what did you think would happen you gave up your two best perimeter defenders in Holiday and Carter. Dame’s D is not that bad but Beasley and Middleton are another story. I think they have to go to a more sagging Man with pressure on dead balls with a fixed rotation. Some of the issues I have witnessed is no resistance off of penetration just to easy to get into the lane without a pick.

Dame is the guy the bucks needed for situations in the playoffs. Outside of Khris Middleton the Bucks lack shot creators. Dame is what they need. If they can find a defensive scheme that can make them average, they will win the finals. Kind of like the nuggets last year. An unstoppable big (Giannis/Jokic), a Shot making PG (Murray/Dame), and a secondary scoring option (Porter Jr./Middleton).

That would make sense if he didn’t have the number 2 record in the Eastern Conference

@@rashardstallworth9240 they played the easiest schedule so far. It’s supposed to become the hardest at this point in the season. They would have started dropping games with Adrian

Tbf he was in a tough spot as he's a rookie coach. It doesn't help either that Doc was his adviser so while there are no concrete evidences, you would still have that gut feeling Doc screw him over.

They have played the easiest schedule in the league so far. Wait until they have to play the best teams from the West.

Wdym? ​@@jackmacfakie1387

Doc will be fired by this time next year

@@baldeagle4710 With Giannis demanding a trade to Miami, OKC or Toronto

that’s not how it works in the pros. coaches will always be the first scapegoat. at least they get guaranteed money.

And then... Once you run exactly what the players want you to run and it doesn't work, those same players take shots at you in the media and demand that you get fired. Coaching in the NBA is a lose-lose situation in MOST instances. If you're not elite schematically and flexible enough to highlight the players who would be a problem otherwise (ex. Spo, Udoka, Thibs) it's just not even worth it. A player's job should be to play. A coach's job should be to coach. This whole player driven movement is infuriating when those same players lack the accountability and integrity to admit they were wrong. I mean... Durant and Kyrie created the sinking ship in Brooklyn. And then they demanded that both the coach they hand picked and GM (who did nearly everything they asked) be fired, AND they both probably would have asked for a trade anyway. Absolutely spineless.

@@paulhyde8427 Exactly, I hear u Paul.... In BK another issue was who be ball dominant runin the plays at the point...O think JKidd will ran into the same problem. The games Luka dominates the ball Ky get bored, plus the teams offense doest not run as smooth as when Ky has the reins...Lukas passes the ball only when he has no shot while players just stand n watch, as opposed to ky ppl know the ball can come to them any time.. Thats how the Mavs lost to Warriors since Luka deceided he will ran the offense...

@@spiritoflifeinchristminist9764 yep. The level of basketball IQ of star players in the NBA has never been lower in my lifetime. It's very clear a lot of these guys don't have a complete understanding of the game and just want the ball to play some variation of 1 on 1. Isolation basketball does not win championships. It can close the door in a game you're already winning once you've established your main offense... But you have to have more than that

Facts. Casuals look a the record and think he shouldn’t have been fired

I would classify me as a casual and my problem wasn't with firing him (I was against them signing him to begin with), but the fact that they replaced him with Doc of all people

I dunno, thinking 'losing Jrue Holiday didnt hurt them defensively' is a pretty silly take.

@@PuchuKt I was against hiring Griffin too. A rookie coach to take on a team of this caliber, you just don't see that work out often. But if you don't think Doc is better than Griffin, then that's laughable. I mean who else was available at this moment that is better than Doc? People are mad the Bucks fired Bud, yet laughing at them for hiring Doc. Doc is basically the black version of Bud, both of them suck in the playoffs, but at least in this situation Doc will be an upgrade from Griffin.

@@Mitch_Feral If they had Jrue still, with Coach Griffin it would still be the same story. A lot of it depend on coaching, as Coach broke down in the video that the Bucks perimeter defense was still not great with Bud, who had Jrue on those teams.

Well, at least you already got your title.

This season has turned into a complete shit show and dumpster fire all at the same time. Such high hopes that turned into such disappointment.

@@warrenprice8945 I’m still holding out hope haha. Hopefully doc can figure something out.
