I posted it in NBA season then realized it probably deserved its own thread so pulled it out.  Haha.

I never understood why a team competing for a title would go for a young unproven coach.  Feel bad for Griffin, but that was always a weird hire to me.

Also, this is the move of a desperate GM who has nothing left to trade at the deadline, and need to make something happen, or he’ll be out of a job this spring.

Bucks don't make this move without Giannis signing off. Wonder if he lost the locker room. It seems like the team's chemistry never really recovered from whatever happened with Terry Stotts.

Shades of David Blatt.

That said, as many have argued, regular season wins aren't everything.  If there's a perception in the front office that the coach isn't adding anything, it makes sense to admit the mistake and move on.

Yeah based on record alone this firing is absolutely absurd, especially when acquiring dame is largely to blame for there terrible defense this season.
Either way it’s clear he was a terrible coach so it’s a good firing.
