Lol I was still reading about the David Griffin firing when it popped up so I was quick.
Not surprised by this one but still crazy to go through 3 coaches in 3 years. Shoutout to the coaches union for getting these guys guaranteed contracts because there is 0 job security outside of Pop, Kerr, and probably Spo.
Given the poor defensive effort this season and the line about not watching film I’m guessing there is some truth to Malone having lost the locker room at least partially.
If that’s the case and given their poor play post all star break they might think it’s not looking good, especially if Murray’s hamstring is going to be an issue still.
They probably figured they might as well try Adelman at head coach to see how he might fit in any future plans and sometimes a shakeup at coach does jolt the players but I don’t think you can really get an accurate idea of his abilities given how late he’s taking over but I’m guessing that’s their logic.
Crazy, Mike has been a solid coach so that’s really surprising and worrying. I have a bad feeling.
Booth I’ve had complaints about so that’s more understandable but still questionable timing.
Edit: hearing reports he lost the locker room. I saw someone share a clip from a recent game where he said he can’t get the players to watch film, which if true, makes a lot more sense on the timing.
A lot less interesting than the west.
Only real movement here is potentially between bucks/pistons for 5th and then seeding in the play in tournament.
4-8 in the west being separated by half a game is wild. Wish the nuggets hadn’t picked now to go on a losing streak.
Bucks either need to defend much better or someone outside of Giannis needs to sbe able to score. They need Dame out there so badly.
