Rim protecton is an overused phrase. You cant protect the rim if you constantly get confused on switches, or are late. It's hard to protect the rim in a trail position.
When Favors can be where he needs to be, he does a good job altering shots.
They can still use more active, above the rim bigs for sure. But with this coaching staff, they'd be stuck out trying to guard Fox at the 3 point line.
Gentry and his coaching staff would struggle to win 40 games with the Bucks roster.
So is that it? Can we stop believing in this lost season now? I'd rather Gentry gone than given another chance off some stupid miracle crap.
How many people will be completely relieved when Gentry is fired? It’s like a huge cloud over the franchise that has ruined them for years and ran off one of the best PFs in league history.
Gentry says he didn't think we were ''flat'' tonight.
As usual, he's wrong.
If gentry isn’t fired. Griffin needs to go for not doing his job.
NBA makes up a 9th seed for us
Give us the easiest schedule
All we have do is show up for 8 games.
Every game, season is on the line
Fighting teams are playing playoffs minutes. We acting like it's December Minutes.
Zion burst restriction
1-3 start. 2 loses broke franchise worst records.
We just embarrass ourselves.
The thing I have to ask for the people who are adamant that it's not Gentry is this: our teams have sucked for years. Yet we've had relatively little player continuity.
What's the common factor on all of these bad teams, cause it's not the players.
We sucked when the roster was Tony Allen, Rondo, and Cousins. We sucked when Ajinca was here, and when we had Omri Casspi for 2 milliseconds. We suck now with Ingram and Lonzo and Redick.
Did Tony Allen just stop caring when he came here? Did Redick suddenly stop caring about his playoff streak? Nope. The consistent part that has been involved in all of these teams is Gentry.
That's not to say every single problem is to do with him, it's not. He can't make you close out on a shooter, and he obviously doesn't tell you to miss shots.
But can we stop pretending that he's just not an issue whatsoever? Thanks.
I agree 100 percent. This is a horrific loss for the franchise. It's absolutely inexcusable. It's not whether Alvin Gentry is a bad coach for me. It's more of does anyone honestly believe that he can coach a team to a conference finals or championship? I can't see it. Making the playoffs as a 9th seed isn't good enough. That shouldn't be the goal anyway.
I'm looking for real sports fans...not sheep! Are you with me?!!!
I don't really care. My opinion on coaches has always been that if you're not a top 3ish coach, you're probably not moving the needle. Hard to see a top 3 guy becoming available. I'm much more interested in roster change.

If a coaching change happens so be it, don't really care https://t.co/UMFUpB1xUD
See, this is the kind of thing I don't really understand.
If a top 3 coach can move the needle, a bottom 5 coach can do the same in the opposite direction. It may well be true that adding a ''mediocre'' coach to this team wouldn't fix us: in fact, it almost definitely is true. But mediocre is better than garbage.
Budenholzer isn't a top three coach. He's not better than Nurse, Spoelstra, or Pop. It's debatable if he's better than Snyder or Stevens from Boston.
Yet replacing Jason Kidd, who stinks, with Bud, who might be like the 6th best coach in the NBA, had a huge impact. Just the impact of getting rid of trash is a thing: addition by subtraction works.
Get rid of Gentry. Replace him with even someone mediocre, and this team is a playoff team, because even if the new coach isn't a genius, they'll probably be better than this.

It’s better to look for the next Nurse than to sit on your haunches. Sure, most teams don’t win championships. Having said that, you know you won’t win anything with Gentry. I hate that complacent attitude. Look for the solution even if it doesn’t pan out.
Exactly. The potential outcome with any coach is basically A or B.
A= They are successful with your team, and you win a lot of games and make playoff runs and maybe if you're lucky, a ring.
B= They are unsuccessful with your team, you lose a lot of games, you constantly miss the playoffs, no ring will ever come short of the Second Coming of Christ.
We know that hiring a new coach is a coinflip on A or B. They may be good or maybe not; it could be a failure and they give us B.
But that's a chance to take. Cause at least then, there's a shot at A. With Gentry, there's no shot. We know what we have; he's a B result coach. It's just not good enough and any team that wants to move on, has to move on.
