You guys see that Joerger halftime interview?

Good lord. An experienced and super articulate guy. Such a change from the last couple years when you wondered if the assistant coach just finished working concessions.

I get how a divorce can affect a player. I bet half this board has been divorced. But buds brother died unexpectedly during the playoffs and he didn’t get the benefit of the doubt. As someone who lost a family member unexpectedly and has been divorced the death was way harder and never heals.

Bud didn't get the benefit of the doubt because he's had multiple postseasons with similar issues; he wasn't fired for just the Miami series last season. If Dame is playing like this next year, people will want him gone too. Hell, some people already are done with him.

Bud lost Middleton the year before. Lost Gianni’s and had his brother killed the year after. Only against Toronto did bud lose when he shouldn’t have.

Charlotte is definitely going to help the Bucks' defensive rating.

He’ll be perfect to take over from Doc

Bubble year counts, too. Team was unprepared.

Beas is thankful Charlotte perimeter guys aren't the same as Minnesota's

[Balls2TheWalls]

Beasley is an absolute flamethrower right now

Was that the year the George Hill went rogue?

I'm at the game. What did he say?

[rilamann]

Last game Aj Green was the guy we thought Dame would be. Tonight it's Beasley.

Eh, I don't necessarily disagree that there were issues outside his control, but the coach is usually the first to go. That said there were also systematic issues even despite those key injuries the past couple seasons. It wasn't like he was coaching laps around Nurse/Udoka/Spoelstra, but the difference in talent between us and them was too much.

[randy84]

There's your Steph comparison.

[SupremeHustle]

Why is Steve Clifford standing up? Sit down, my guy. Relax.

[Plossum]

The Dame hero passes are such a killer. He seems to give up what could be decent mid range or floater shots for himself by trying to thread tight pocket passes or impossible lobs.

Dude is and always has been a very good coach basketball wise, issue was that he’s apparently kind of a dick when it comes to working with the front office and stuff lol. I have to imagine he’s learned from that, I seriously would’ve been happy if they just hired him outright as the HC instead of Doc.

I've seen Gil do that, too. He was doing first. Steph just made it cool.

[Plossum]

Is it too early to roll out the scrubs? Could use the rest with Denver and Miami coming up.

Well maybe he should have.

[randy84]

Crowder needs to be on the bench.

[SupremeHustle]

Is Jae going to trick a series turning wide-open 3 for us in the playoffs? You bet your ass he is.
