Are the Milwaukee Bucks Showing Signs of Dysfunction?

Are the Milwaukee Bucks Showing Signs of Dysfunction?

Personally I you know I’ll be honest I I told our owners when they called I said I think you I don’t understand why you’re doing this you could create your own starting five what’s your team it would be me Lebron Steph Kevin Durant and I’m going go with bam out of Bio

General do not watch basketball Chris I don’t know what was in the water down in Indianapolis uh for Allstar Weekend but the Milwaukee Bucks went on a media blitz tour and I I put their foot in their mouths all collectively everybody down there except for Malik Beasley uh

You had Jan Z goo saying that you know basically he doesn’t watch basketball at all uh you had Damen Lillard given his list of his starting five that did not include Giannis uh in it and then you have Doc Rivers who’s out here basically saying that he had no he he told bucks

Ownership he didn’t know why they were firing Adent Griffin all these again so I I’ll start with this this uh this Guru Tre Crosby the third Chris King at the Cream City crossover doing what we do uh but but Chris none of this made sense for anybody involved and so I’ll say

From top to bottom like the best to worst com like Giannis is by far the the one I can I can dismiss the easiest uh down the list because we know he watches film right like we know he he does he he doesn’t go into games blind he knows who

His opponents are and I’ve actually heard jannis talk about this before like Giannis has talked about this and what he said is I don’t what he actually means when he’s saying he doesn’t watch film he doesn’t he doesn’t know what God’s doing what he’s saying is I don’t

Watch it when I come back from the facility like I do my practice time I put in the film work I do all this but when I come home to the family it’s family time like I do that as a job and I think a lot of people really if you

Break that down you can relate to it right because most people don’t continue doing their job after hours like that’s that’s it I say it’s insane but you know you don’t have to necessarily turn on a TV and watch basketball all day long nothing wrong with doing it like Kobe

Bryant obsessed over basketball and I don’t think Janis doesn’t accept obsessed over basketball but he doesn’t have to come in and and turn on the game every time he comes in when he wants to play with his kids I don’t have a problem with that I go with Damen

Lillard next Dame’s list of his starting five where he names himself Steph LeBron KD and bamat bio it’s an insane list dog that’s an that isn’t I’m trying to give Damen little the benefit of the doubt and I’m hoping that you know he didn’t mean anything by

It but it’s just crazy that you include that you that you don’t include Yan in the list and then of your list like LeBron’s 40 uh and then you have bam out B like it it didn’t make sense and I know that Kate I’m bam out B and Dam

Lillard are boys you know he wanted to go to Miami obviously um I get that and I know that that dam in the past has talked about teaming up with Giannis um as the guy who thinks can lead him to a championship and get to the playoffs but

You have to think about what you’re saying and why it may be interpreted and how it may be interpreted if the Bucks are rolling and everybody’s great no no problems maybe this goes off goes over a little easier and I’m not saying there’s any problems with this but you have to

Know this is a bad look so at the very least it shows a lack of judgment because you you just can’t say it whether you believe it or not you don’t come out when your team is having problems when you fired the coach when when you’ve publicly admitted that

You’re having problems connecting and fitting in and you’re you’re making all those excuses as to why you’re not playing at the level you want to play at and then you come in and you just nuke it some more by putting bam out of BU and you’re starting five made no sense

And then Doc Rivers which again his comments they they bring even they add fuel to the fire of all the discussion about Doc Rivers um you know throwing guys under the bus and everything that’s been said about him blowing leads and whatnot and not taking accountability

And he comes in and says so get let me get this straight Doc Rivers doesn’t was apparently contacted whether he took the job or not as a consultant but he was contacted in December to to be a consultant for the bucks again he says he didn’t take the job that’s fine but

If they’re asking you to consult for Adrien Griffin in the middle of the year you can’t then tell me you are surprised that he that he gets fired then and I can’t what do you mean you’re doing this in the in the how would you it it’s like

Like what why are people talking so much like these guys are talking too much it’s crazy just shut up talk about basketball talk about how you’re gonna get this team together and fixed and what’s going to be next they I they are shooting themselves in the foot with

These comments for no good reason I can’t understand it Chris help me I thought they did a poor job of just expressing what they felt I mean I think Giannis and a lot of basketball Minds probably agree with what he said about just he doesn’t go home and watch

Basketball because you know what that can do for a basketball mind and a guy who is obsessed with basketball it throws him off of what the next challenge is it it could throw you off of what the next task is and and who you’re playing next and stuff like that

So every time you’re not tuning into NBA TV and thinking about oh how are we going to beat these guys teams when they’re not even on the schedule maybe or not you’re not going to be playing them in a while so um I think that’s good for Giannis to be honest that that

He’s not always focused on basketball every moment of the day uh because I know he does his work and I know he probably is in the Bucks facility and doing the film study and stuff like that and there’s not really a story there um maybe just word it better or something I

Don’t know but the Dame comment I I get it look I get that like you said he’s said that he wanted to team up with the honest he’s always been came out and and kind of went to bat for Giannis in terms of who he wants to play with but I think

It’s just stupidly unaware that you can go into an a media room or whatever a press conference and not include the guy who you want to help you win an win the NBA Finals I mean the the guys that you mentioned he he talked about bam and LeBron and stuff

Like that like come on dude what are we doing I mean you got one of the best players in the league if not the best player in the league on your side and you’re going to just go completely off the rails here like really is that what

We’re doing uh so that was stupid and then the doc thing like look do you even want the job like did you did you even want to take the job like is that I don’t get that like why are you he it’s like he almost feels bad for Adrian

Griffin and what the Bucs did and it’s stupid yes and and what he’s doing Chris is like it’s not that he I don’t think it’s that he feels bad I think it’s he wants it to look like he feels bad he wants to give off this appearance that

Oh man I was Li side just like well I guess if you’re going to ask me I guess I have to take it like come on Doc come on Doc yeah it’s stupid and then obviously we didn’t talk about this but Pat Bev going at JJ reck and stuff when

I think we agree with JJ with the fact that doc doesn’t really take much accountability so I mean just we like you mentioned before we just have all these characters and they definitely shot themselves in the foot with what they did this weekend it was just very

Dramatic of the Bucks and that’s not something you normally see out of a team like this no and that’s the thing this team has has o almost overnight become very dramatic and I remember the days in 2017 18 19 that they had some playoff failures in some of those years but they

Were not a dramatic Basketball Club they didn’t have all like you said the characters now you have Giannis who again like it or not he has an ego he’s an NBA superstar Damen Lillard who is an NBA superstars come in comes in with his own ego and all the things that that go

On with him Pat Beverly who’s talking crazy right now Bobby por is one of those guys always talking Doc Rivers who has one of those Eagles and Carries in you know bigname coaching guy like it’s listen there are 20 some games left in the in the regular season like this

Is gonna be interesting Chris because I mean for the first time in a long time like this team is either they have two options and I don’t think even though these this is not the first time Milwaukee books have had expectations upon them they basically have ever since

Ys send it to an MVP level but this team has two op options they are either going to ascend from the ashes and become one of and have one of the greatest playoff runs that we’ve ever seen and that will be talked about for years and years to

Come or they will flame out and burn uh yet again and it’s going to be talked about as one of the biggest failures um in Milwaukee Bucks history I mean it’s just I don’t know how to say I don’t think it be NBA history I think Jan name

Is big but it’s not as big as like failing with with the with the what the Brooklyn Nets did and and some of those other teams that that have failed in throughout his history but yeah I mean it that’s it’s one of two ways this goes

There is no I don’t think there’s any room for any in between um and what’s going to happen is if you if you go the other way if you flame out and burn there’s going to be I I you just look at it right now all the talk that’s going

On now you can just feel there’s going to be finger pointing and blaming and scapegoats and I I don’t know how this thing is going to gon to gon to pan out if the Bucks don’t win a championship or come very very very close to yeah I don’t like it showing early signs

Of just being a dysfunctional organization look if they do they do flame out you know there’s going to be articles from Chris Haynes Eric and guys like that about what went wrong and try to get this team to turn it their backs on each other and I that’s obviously

Something I don’t want to happen but these are early signs of that yeah no absolutely so again we’re going to be all over it Allstar weekends over uh hopefully the talk is over let’s get to playing some basketball back half of the Season uh from the guru Tre Crosby third
