That is very surprising, they're the 2nd seed in the conference.

MODERATORS
The defense has been horrible so I get it. Part of it is personnel since dame isn’t jrue but don’t think he’s coaching the defense well either. Seemed some players made comments they weren’t being prepared properly for matchups too.
Article mentions doc rivers is being considered which is crazy, I’d rather bud come back then doc lol
Yeah, with Doc they'd have the same issues in the playoffs Bud was fired for, but worse
Bucks start slow every game, and most of the time are behind. Which is a lot like Raptors. And yes that's a sign that the team isn't well prepared. Bucks are also an old team so that might be part of their slow starts. Or both.
An odd move to see.
everyone but rivers :D I hope they bring back Bud or get Nash
If they go Doc it might be one of the worst decisions I've ever seen out of an org.
Also hoping for Nash feel like he could be a great coach and had a pretty unfavorable situation on the Nets.
He can surely fix giannis+Dame on the field, dunno if he can fix them in life
Wasn’t a huge fan of buds lack of adjustments but think having Dame covers the lack of offensive versatility we had previously with him so would be fine with him.
Think Nash deserves another chance somewhere but we really need a defensive minded coach more than anything, didn’t follow him too closely on the Nets so not sure if that’s something he can bring.
2nd Raptors assistant coach under Nick Nurse turned head coach on another team fired mid-season (Nate Bjorkgren, Pacers 2021)
Giannis Surprised By Bucks' Decision to Fire Adrian Griffin: 'I Loved the Guy'
So Giannis is eyeing not only MVP but also SNL
I honestly don't know what they expect out of a defense with the Beasley Lillard backcourt.
I mean they still have Giannis and Brook who are both DPOY level defenders so the defense shouldn’t be this bad. You need to scheme around the personnel deficiencies which clearly wasn’t happening with the strategy he was using.
I don’t expect the defense to be what it was jrue for sure but somewhere in 10-15 range should be possible, not bottom third of the league.
That's only 2 players. If 3 out of 5 players can't defend, you think they're gonna be effective? Lopez can't stand in the paint like in college. Part of the reason they suck on defense is there is no effort being made. Griff lost the locker room early and he's never recovered. I watched early season games Bucks had bad body language. I guess it can't get worse at this point.
