🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. Milwaukee deserves to fail. Fired a Coach that had a winning record, gets doc and they’re losing

These players can’t weather their teams through hard times he won a championship in Milwaukee. Has enough motion to get some players to come there. Cry your way out of your situation when they’ve gave you your brothers when both of them are trash. He’ll end up on another team and never win again like most of these players who’ve cried for a trade in the past

If giannis is serious about his legacy then he needs to get over the whole “loyal to one team” thing and move on because while he’s not getting any younger, the rest of the league is. Wemby is clearly the big of the future

Doc Rivers is the most highly rated and respected OK coach in the history of sports.

I don’t care what no one says, Doc Rivers is one of, if not the most overrated head coaches in all of Basketball
@RStone

Also don’t forget Doc was an advisor to the owner at the time Adrian Griffen was fired. He shouldn’t escape any scrutiny at all.

It probably would be easier to be real about what he wants if he never said “Talent comes to me I don’t go to talent” 😆.

How many times are Windy and Sham are going to say Giannis is going to be traded until they actually gaslight the Bucks to trade Giannis?

He made his own bed now sleep in it, could have gone to a better team all he had to do was trade me, I don’t feel sorry for him

Doc Rivers will unfortunately be blamed for the issues in Milwaukee because it should really be the Bucks front office for the problems in Wisconsin.

Doc always loses a team after 3 years. Bucks should have traded Giannas after Luka. Coach Bud was great.

Dame was trash in Milwaukee, and Doc has always been trash. I used to be a huge Giannis fan until this trade BS and the gambling scam he pulled. I can’t watch him play anymore.

You know where the bucks went wrong and I knew it from the minute it was announced the hiring of doc rivers, his past speaks for itself every time he came in to coach a winning team at the time he makes them worse

Bucks need to rebuild all around from a new head coach to getting younger player too.

Let’s be real here. The Bucks screwed themselves. You fired a first year headcoach that was first place in the east….30-14 record wise, for a coach that is sure a champion, but clearly hasn’t worked out…outside of the one championship in Boston.
I personally don’t have pity for where the Bucks are at. They caused it themselves as a organization.
I also don’t feel bad for Giannis either. You could have gotten out at the tradedeadline. That’s on you.
