The Milwaukee Bucks are off to a horrible 18-26 record through 44 games. Every game is worse than the last and there’s absolutely zero accountability in the entire organization to do anything about it right now.
During a timeout in the second half during Friday night’s game – against a Denver Nuggets team missing several key players – Giannis stood up and wasn’t listening to Doc Rivers or engaged at all.
The 102-100 score Friday night was very misleading. The Bucks were down by 23 in the second half before somehow managing to make it an interesting game, which Giannis got hurt with a right calf strain and apparently will miss 4-6 weeks.
I’m not sure what more this organization expects from Giannis. He played blowout minutes versus the Nuggets scrubs which felt like an exclamation point on “what more do you expect me to do?”
The season is likely over with the Giannis injury and missing a month or longer. So I guess it’s time to tank.
I’d prefer it to happen immediately, but this offseason it is an absolute MUST that Jon Horst/Wes Edens does something with the head coaching position. They are currently choosing Doc Rivers over Giannis Antetokounmpo right now.
This team is disorganized and disinterested in playing competitive team basketball. The players have also quit on Doc. It’s an absolute brutal product right now.
I filled out my Bucks postgame survey:
It would be great to show the franchise how much support there is for this.
It would be better to reset the culture now, or at least exile the biggest problem. The Bucks can still lose plenty of games and get a better handle on the roster now.
Fun times in Milwaukee right now (note my sarcasm). Here’s to hoping there’s no dark times ahead.
