If the Bucks lose to the Heat...

[SpurPadre]

and they end up firing Bud, would you guys like him back on the Spurs? Would Pop consider retiring if this were a possibility?

[Budkin]

I'd love Bud to coach the Spurs. Yes please.

[KobesAchilles]

There’s going to be a HUGE Giannis sweepstakes once the Heat sweep the Bucks

Our cap frees up when he's a free agent in 2021...

I was actually thinking of getting a good player from another team to absorb a contract for a team that can actually get him. Like Jaylon Brown from Boston for instance. Doesn’t have to be him but that’s the idea I had in mind.

Well the hot rumor for years has been Giannis to the Warriors but now today the new rumor came out that Giannis is looking at going to the Heat now. I wouldnt be surprised if Riley pulled that off tbh....

I would say Giannis is more like a David Robinson who needs his Tim Duncan.

Admiral would have won titles before TD came along if he didn't have to carry so much dead weight for years. I mean, Sean was cool and all but he still had very mediocre players around him most of the time.

[timtonymanu]

Giannis is gone from the Bucks. He’s from the same cloth like those other faggot divas. He will claim he didn’t have enough help then go join his own super team somewhere with another loser star who claims they don’t have enough help. I was actually rooting for Miami in this series.

Drob may not have had a good supporting cast but I remember him under performing in the playoffs a lot and especially under pressure. Giannis has been like Drob in this series.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Wouldn't work unless Pop retires. They would move WonderBread over to be a special assistant to Buford. Pop would be GM, and Bud would be his sock puppet.

[RC_Drunkford]

I'd love to have Bud back, but you know Dictatorvich needs his yes men and Bud ain't that

[K...]

bud can find a better team, he'd have to really love keldon, lonnie or murray to see a future.

[itzsoweezee]

Bud has been absolutely trash in the Miami series. That offense looks like shit. No motion whatsoever, so he'd probably fit right in... Taking up where popovich leaves off

[jjktkk]

David's rookie year's squad was a title team imo. But Larry Brown blew that team up, and like everywhere else he coached, he left.

Agree. I think Giannis is a good dude, but I'm sure teammates and star players from other teams have told him to go to L.A., go to Miami, etc... Obviously this sucks for small./middle market teams like the Bucks. Unfortunately, we as Spurs already know how this shit works.

That team would have rung if Mo fucking Cheeks didn’t force his way out during the season. He just HAD to play on the East coast. Guess he got over that, coaching and living in Methlahoma all those years. Fuck that clown.

[baseline bum]

No way, the Spurs got the way better end of the deal fleecing the Knicks out of Rod Strickland for a washed up Cheeks. But LOL being in OKC.

Running Strickland out of town was stupid too, since they had no replacementt. Spurs never even had a decent pg till Avery showed up.

True, but then they ran Rod out of town. They never even had a decent replacement until Avery showed up several years later.

McCombs' cheap ass didn't want to pay him, as Shitty Del Negro was way cheaper. What a worthless owner McCombs was. First he doesn't want to pay Barkley so the Spurs couldn't do the Cummings + Anderson deal with Philly then he just lets Strick walk for nothing. Could have at least signed him and traded him later on since he had worn out his welcome but still had a lot of trade value.

[Texas eye]

They just have no fans and Milwaukee is tiny compared to San Antonio. Packers>>>Brewers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bucks.

[dbestpro]

David Robinson, Terry Cummings, Sean Elliott, Mike Mitchell, Rod Strickland, Jonny Moore, Wille Anderson. I'd take that group against any team in the NBA today.

[Spurs oman]

Giannes not showing up enough once again in the play offs is he still learning or actualy over rated ?
Is a move on the way for him if they get sweept

[itzsoweezee]

Bud is fucking trash. Playing Giannis 28 minutes in what is essentially an elimination game? What a dumb motherfucker

[itzsoweezee]

Only the spurs would be dumb enough to hire this dude. His career is over

[RD2191]

I'm always right about everything, people overrating the shit out of Giannis, ranking him above Kawhi, lmaooo. Fuck outta here.

Giannis is hamstrung by a shitty coach. What do you expect him to do in Bud's no-motion 1990s offense?

Sounds like excuses to me tbh

[yavozerb]

Well, pretty soon bucks won't have to worry about sitting out any games. They were never mentally in this series, sucks for there fans..

[poopbox]

Bud coaching this series exactly like a Pop disciple

[J_Paco]

and they end up firing Bud, would you guys like him back on the Spurs? Would Pop consider retiring if this were a possibility?


Hell no. He might be more inflexible & stubborn than Popovich without 1/100 of the accomplishments.

And he is definitely coaching his way out of Milwaukee with this terrible performance. If I were a Bucks' fan I'd be hoping he's taking Eric Bledsoe with him.

That guy's decision making makes Tony Parker look like John Stockton.

[Ditty]

Always have said Bud was overrated for years on this board and was so happy he took off for Atlanta. I have never understood the fascination for him. Only way I would accept if it came with Giannis but outside of that I would not want Bud as no more than an assistant for the Spurs again.

[gambit1990]

agree.

[MultiTroll]

Timmy Dunker many seasons stuck with Pops 4 Dumb offense and things like BonBon at starting PF?

[Chinook]

I don't think Giannis is a good dude at all. I think people are mistaking him not saying much during interviews as him being humble or nice and ignoring the scumbag shit he's pulled over the years.

[Prime BEEF]

Giannis is gone from the Bucks. He’s from the same cloth like those other faggot divas. He will claim he didn’t have enough help then go join his own super team somewhere with another loser star who claims they don’t have enough help. I was actually rooting for Miami in this series.
Yup he’ll leave the bucks and go to more popular team with other players

Interesting take. Please elaborate. Not biased for or against the freak. Just curious about what he’s done in the past that you don’t like

[hombre]

Yeah, I've never heard anything bad about him.

[99 Problems]

We need to draft a Greek, that’s the first step. Then we hire his fav coach from the Greek national team.

[spurspl]

hotline in milwauke after yesterday's game

[Chinook]

Yeah, I've never heard anything bad about him.

He was ejected from a game for straight-up tackling a shooter in revenge for a no-call. He was also suspended last season for head-butting a player. As far as I know, those are the only times he's faced league discipline for his actions, but he's hot-head and not afraid of throwing cheap shots. Those plays -- especially that first on -- are indescribably dirty and reckless. He was probably looking to do the same thing to Eubanks when he thought Drew and Thanasis were going at it.

Off the court is a little harder to piece together. It REALLY rubbed me the wrong way when he begged for money from his teammates even though he was a millionaire just because he wanted to "save money". Like there's nothing wrong with being frugal, especially on your rookie contract. But to take other players' per diems as if their money is less valuable is just not cool. He also apparently screwed his first coach in Greece out of money Giannis promised, but that could easily be a he said/he said thing.

Giannis is probably not some secret psycho, and I don't know if he does any criminal stuff. I'm not saying his the worst player in the NBA. But he's certainly not close to the best. He's not humble; he's not kind; he's not a role-model for younger players. As bad as Kawhi is in some ways, he's better than Giannis in terms of personality.

[RC_Drunkford]

Bud coaching this series exactly like a Pop disciple

all of his disciples coach like him. Which is going down with the ship. Brett Brown too. Snyder is out too. The Flopovich effect

[Maddog]

Giannis is hamstrung by a shitty coach. What do you expect him to do in Bud's no-motion 1990s offense?

Maybe coach Bud is hamstrung by his best player not being able to shoot?

I remember pre-pandemic watching the Bucks and thinking this team will not do well in the playoffs. I really don't think they have a huge talent advantage and not a lot of offensive flexibility. Defense wise they don't match up well against Miami

[BillMc]

I don't think Giannis is a good dude at all. I think people are mistaking him not saying much during interviews as him being humble or nice and ignoring the scumbag shit he's pulled over the years.
My god you just described Nephew.

[BackHome]

When they loose its on him he acts like a Super Star and gets paid like one so he HAS to play like one. He is a very good player but he is no Kobe, Timmy, hell he is not Butler, Ky, Lebron, level yet.

[RD2191]

My god you just described Nephew.
By all accounts, Kawhi did us dirty, but I don't think the front office was without fault.

[BackHome]

Well, pretty soon bucks won't have to worry about sitting out any games. They were never mentally in this series, sucks for there fans..

Not just this series they had a hard time from day one of the playoffs and as Spurs fans know what works in regular season sometime doesn’t work in Playoffs. See Danny Green.

[dbreiden83080]

You wonder if the Bubble was the killer for them? Having no HC edge is rough.. But they played like shit..

[Realdeal1]

... I know it’s a long shot but damn would love Giannis to the Spurs

[Chinook]

My god you just described Nephew.

Not really. Giannis has been a dirty player on the court. As far as I know, Kawhi never did that. Worst I can remember is him taunting Jimmer in college.

[TimDunkem]

Not just this series they had a hard time from day one of the playoffs and as Spurs fans know what works in regular season sometime doesn’t work in Playoffs. See Danny Green.

Yep sometimes you win 67 games with a loaded roster and still lose to Steven Adams and Anus Kancer.

[itzsoweezee]

Just read the bucks have run only 18 pick and rolls with Giannis this whole series :downspin:

And Giannis is 10 for 12 in those situations! This dude will never get a coaching job again

[Spurs Homer]

Sure...

let's pine for the guy that gets swept from the playoffs - DESPITE - having the best team in the league.

SMH

[TD 21]

The Clippers have by far the best team in the league.

I usually say coaching is overrated and a lot of it is luck, but he deserves the criticism for the continual bizarre minute distribution and his pathetic answer as to why, the refusal to even attempt obvious defensive matchups, the essentially 7 straight playoff losses (Magic series doesn't count) and the fact that his teams are on the verge of losing 4 straight to end their season after winning at least 60 in the regular season for the 3rd time.

His stock is about to hit rock bottom, so when he's fired, either this year or next, he might actually end up Pop's successor after all.

Pop taught him well

[BackHome]

Well the Bucks just threw in the towel as the Greek Freak has decided to sit out game 4 because Of his ankle.

The bucks won. It looks like you spoke too soon.
