Exciting. All have championship experience. Can’t go wrong with any of these 3.
I was told the Bucks are dumb and will hire Rivers or Scott Brooks.
Nick Nurse it is!
thank god the wide net we threw didn’t catch any of the shitty candidates. i feel very good about this group
Above all else, at least it’s three coaches who are smart and likable. Nurse is my preferred candidate, but could easily get behind Kenny or Griffin.
Probably would rank Kenny as the second favorite — Griffin seems like he could be a contingency if Nurse falls thru. Great guy but unsure if this is the right job for a first time HC.
Remember when all you baby birds were freaking out about the different coaches they interviewed? And, shocking! we wound up with the candidates that most of us wanted anyways.
Not to sound arrogant, but Nurse would be dumb not to pick us. In hindsight, losing to that Heat team without Giannis for 3 games and Bud dealing with loss, isn’t some stain on our roster. We have a good team and he’d be walking into a perfect culture
Kenny Atkinson was amazing as a player development guy but his coaching style is the exact same as budenholzer as a result of their time in Atlanta together. Would be hoping for the other two guys if you don’t want Giannis getting 30 mpg and a complete lack of in game adjustments
Nurse > Atkinson > griffin
My ranking goes:
1. Atkinson
2. Nurse
3. Getting hit by the Hop, catapulting my body into the Milwaukee River where I get repeatedly waterboarded by passing pontoons as farm pesticide pollution runoff slowly poisons me
4. Adrian Griffin
I want Kenny a , but I went to middle school with Adrian’s daughter and had a huge crush on her so for selfish reasons I wouldn’t be mad if he got hired
That’s a good list right there
Probably should hire Nurse before the Celtics job opens up
To play devil’s advocate: Woj says the field is “narrowing” but he didn’t say it was down to those 3 exclusively.
Kenny Atkinson, you are a Buck
Give me Atkinson over Nurse and Griffin.
The Bucks would never have found themselves in this situation. Had they just drafted a WR in the first round.
I’d love Nick Nurse. One year with a top 5 player and he gets a ring. That’s a great conversation starter.
I only know Atkinson from his Nets job. I think he needs to have a HC job cause he did some good stuff there but I believe he works better with younger teams that are still developing.
No idea who Adrian Griffin is.
Oh thank Jesus
I will be ecstatic for the two former options and happy with Adrian Griffin. But I was told Nurse wasn’t interested
Meh.
In Horst I trust.
Little disappointed Chris Quinn isn’t in this round
Could we end up with Nurse and Griffin?
Why do people want Atkinson? He was terrible in Brooklyn.
I was hoping Vogel would be in the final group, but I trust whoever the Bucks pick.
