1. FIRE DOC
2. start AJAX at SF
It’s time to cut ties with doc and some other guys on this team. This team is soft there’s no dog and no since of urgency. No effort two thumps down 👎🏾👎🏾
Bring Tom Thibodeau in out of retirement. He forged that Knick team identity in such a way that even his successor has had to resort bk to most of Thibodeau's schemata bc- surprise- it fits those players, the same ones who made it to the ECF's last year, better. He'll immediately have them playing hard and smart defense, rebounding and switching, feeding the paint properly and NOT committing turnovers as if they were Xmas gifts for the other team!
Throw in Chris Paul and we will see greater accountability, stability and leadership on the floor that doesn't need Giannis around to make it real.
I have been a Doc supporter, but I believe the time has come.
Giannis thanks for the memories you deserve better.
Time to scrap and start from scratch. Enough of this misery. Start with the GM who can't draft, the coach and his staff all who can't coach and most of the players who can't play.
No more excuses Doc!
Doc should of never been hired in the first place. I don't know who was dumb enough to think this would end well when the man is the most overrated head coach in NBA history to have a ring. We need to trade Giannis and get first round picks possibly a young star and 🙏 somehow we end up keeping our pick in the first round in 2026. Also how the hell is a GM as inept as Jon Horst still have a job does he have incriminating photos of the owner?
Time to fire Doc
Listening to Frank would've made it worse.
Poor Camille having to talk about the Packers now Bucks 😂
I think the epic Jim Mora press conference is in order.
I'VE TOLD YOU ALL THIS TEAM WAS CRAP!! I SAID THAT!! I DID!! JON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TEAM!! HE BROUGHT THEM ALL BACK AND DIDN'T ADD A DIFFERENCE MAKER TO THIS ROSTER!! JON IS NOT GOOD AT HIS JOB AND NEEDS TO JOIN NICO AND BE AT HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND I DON'T GIVE A DAM ABOUT HIS CONTRACT EXTENSION!! I SAID THAT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON!! NOW AFTER THIS LOSS I'M ON THE DOC GOTTA GO BAND WAGON!! I MEAN YOUR PLAYING DOWN TO THE COMPETITION IS DISTURBING!! LOSING TO DRAFT LOTTERY TEAMS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO WIN GAMES!! MAKING THE SAME EXCUSES AFTER EVERY LOSS!! SHOWS NO ACCOUNTABILITY WHATSOEVER ON DOC'S PART, HIS STAFF, AND THE PLAYERS!! I'M BEYOND FED UP WITH IT ALL !! SOMETHING HAS GOTS TO CHANGE!! SOONER THAN LATER!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR CURRENT POSITION AND BE SENT HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!
Why don't Doc just step aside and save himself getting fired again.
Well. Here we go. This is the turning point for us. Hopefully bucks FO is actually capable of a rebuild that doesn't span decades this time. With or without giannis, something needs to change.
Damn that C's win was an illusion. It's clear that Doc lost the locker room. The team has shown no efforts whatsoever since Giannis got hurt. No one has that fire to play for the uniform. How pathetic.
I wouldn't wanna talk about this team today or any day in the future. Good luck Bucks fans. Smh
No team wants Giannis and Bucks is terrible. It’s a dead end for this sorry franchise.
TODAY IS TRADE THE JUNK ON YOUR TEAM DAY!! IF SOMEBODY ISN'T ACTIVE CALLING FOR AVAILABLE PLAYERS WHO WANT TO PLAY BALL FOR THIS ORGANIZATION I'M TELLING YOU JOBS NEED TO BE LOST AND PEOPLE SENT HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!! THIS IS A DISGRACE HOW THIS TEAM IS PLAYING!! NOBODY GETS A PASS!! I NEED SOME OF THESE PLAYERS TRADED AWAY FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO PLAY AND WIN!! I'VE BEEN CALLING FOR ZACH LAVINE FOR THE LONGEST TO BE THE FIRST DOMINO TO FALL!! I DISAGREE WITH ANYONE WHO FEELS THAT HE CAN'T CONTRIBUTE TO HELP THIS TEAM. THIS TEAM HAS ALOT OF HOLES!! TIMELY SCORING IS ONE OF THEM CAMILLE!! WHETHER YOU LIKE THAT TRADE OR NOT THE TEAM COULD USE AN INJECTION OF CONSISTENT OFFENSE. THEN A TRADE FOR BENCH HELP IF POSSIBLE TOO. THOSE PHONES NEED TO BE RINGING AFTER LAST NIGHTS GAME!! THIS TEAM CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS!!
Camille. Damn. You need to make some time to go do something you enjoy tomorrow.
Bad day to be a Wisconsin sports podcaster 😐
hi Camille I'm a pacers fan coming to say I love the way u cover post game media and appreciate sm how opinionated and straight forward you are <3 I can tell it hurts you when ur team isn't fighting how u know they can and I'm def in the same boat as a pacers fan rn hanging right in there w y'all 🙁
No the nets have literally beat the bucks since last season. Each season since Jordi got the job they played hard and effort
Camille pissed!!😡
"We have Rollin and KPJ so it's time to trade Giannis."
The nets bro. It's time to make changes and fast! It's unhealthy being a bucks fan😂
Can the Bucks afford to let Doc and effectively pay three head coaches while hiring a fourth!!? That's a lot of money 💰… and still paying Dame to …Myles is not fititng to well either. The team and coaching staff need to have a sense of urgency. If things dont go north by mid to late January , just tank for the future.
GG Giannis gone
Fire Doc Rivers
Quack Rivers needs to be fired and his whole staff, quack was inept day one on the job, and all the rumors he became a team consultant to steal Griffin's job, oh I can take the team to NBA title by fixing the defense – got so much experience – top ten winningest coach, well Quack you will be leaving as the worst coach in NBA history – pathetic liar.
2 steps back, at this point this team doing the cha cha slide with 2 left feet
