WTF is Up With The Milwaukee Bucks

where you think, hmm, something's off. These are red flags, like maybe she lives with their ex boyfriend. Still you think, like you think the house that she says she owns maybe actually her ex boyfriend's family's house and it's in his name. And then then she tells you, oh, yeah, by the way, we share a dog. Still I know it was like a really good relationship. We parted as friends. Just wasn't working. But when I go out of town, he comes over and he watches the dog. You're like, oh,

does he bring a bag? He just comes over and he houseits and dog sits. When you're out of town. Oh no, He's left a couple of things, like a couple of pairs of shoes, some sweats. Wait, does he still live there? Like? Does this guy still fucking low key live with you? So you start asking more questions and things start getting more and more murky. That's kind of like the Bucks with me. The more you ask,

the more it starts to unravel. Great on paper, you peel back the onion and you're like, Oh, I don't know if I can date this guy or girl. What are these red flags? With the Bucks? Let's start with the big one. Adrian Griffin's the big one. I don't trust him. Where did he come from? Who is he? Why is he here? Like, I don't know on a night to night basis. I'm not sure why Adrian grim was hired. I think it was because Giannis wanted him and he hadn't signed an extension yet. But he's a problem.

And it's not really because he's a first time head coach. I don't care about that. Really, you can be good. Imy Udoka, first time head coach. I immediately thought, this guy's got his stuff together. He's he's not playing around. He's got these young men playing like dogs. Before the season even began, Adrian Griffin had already gotten into a scuffle with a long time beloved eleven year head coach that his new superstar had as his coach for the

first eleven years of his career. There and that guy who was reunited with his prodigal son after being fired said yeah, no, I'm not gonna deal with this bullshit. I'm out of here. You can go ahead and go on your own. Dames head coach Terry Starks ran the best offense in the NBA for many many years. He's not the best defensive coach. We know that. That's why he got fired. But he up and quit because you yelled at him in the middle of practice. You wanted

to dress him down. Secondly, the defense has fallen from number one, number two in the league to bottom five. And it's not because Drew Holliday's gone. They still have three All NBA players All NBA defensive players on this team. You got Jiannis Defensive Player of the Year, you got Brook Lopez finalist for Defensive Player of the Year, and then you've got Bobby Portis who's also on the All

Team defense. Get miss me with the fact that, like Drew Holiday leaves and you just fall off a cliff defensively, no shots There's been multiple coups staged on this team already. You had one. I think maybe it was a weekend where they became the worst defense in the NBA and all of a sudden, brook Lops is like, no, you're not about to have me on the floor where I am. We're giving up too many baskets. At the rim, Adrian Griffin had to come out and say, my players took

control of the defense. They changed it on me on the fly, and I have complied they that is a coup. They have staged a straight coup, and now they're kind of running like the last offense that their last defense that Boodenholder ran. But Bootenholder is no longer there, so I'm not really sure what's going on. The second red flag is they have no idea what to do. In the last two minutes of the game, they were up

on the Indiana Pacers. It was a tight back and forth, and then they decided that even though they had gotten a guy whose nickname is based upon his clutch play, Dame Time, that guy doesn't deserve to have the ball anymore. Dame Time. That's first quarter game. Sorry. No, Instead, Chris Middleton, instead of giving day the ball. He decides to give the ball to Malik Beasley. He decides no, no, I got this and proceeds to not got this. He turns the ball over and at that point that was night Night,

Sleep Mask. They have a very competitive game. Then they lose by ten. The Bucks offense fell completely apart in the fourth quarter. Pacers outscored them thirty seven twenty five in the fourth. It is so bad right now that Bobby Portis, Bobby Portis is going in and going ape shit on Adrian Griffin to quote unquote passionately let him know we need some more offensive structure late in games.

How do we know this Well, it was reported by Chris Haynes, who is Chris Haynes's best friend Damian Lillard. So Dame's not happy with the way the offense is running, obviously, or if he felt differently, he probably wouldn't have leaked that story out. You got leaks coming out. You got Bobby Portis mad at Adrian Griffin. You got Dame telling Giannis at the end of the game, it's me and

you and Jannis walking away. What is happening with the Yannis Dame pick and roll that we thought was going to be ran like Baraka in Mortal Kombat with the uppercut sweep. Uppercut sweep. We thought that was gonna be the most potent combination in the league. It's not really even being run. Here's the depth. You have to roll with aj Green, a man from Iowa, Northern Iowa, out here chasing threes. Your biggest hope is that he turns into Grayson Allen. This team is kind of fucked. I

am getting a little concerned. We're a quarterway through the season and I'm not really ready to panic yet because You've got a team that's second in the East. They got I think, one of the best offenses in the league. But if you if you told me you could either have Joe Missula or Adrian Griffin, I would probably take Joe Missula. And if you're podcast listener, a longtime podcast listener, you know how I feel about Joe Missula. I don't. I think I don't like Adriene Griffin and I don't

think Dame does either. All that to say, what the fuck is up with the Milwaukee
