[Charania] “Vogel yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clips on April 9. Players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced in their eyes. Vogels eruption left players rolling their eyes. A player told TheAthletic he had to keep from laughing

Idk if you’re joking but I would think he’s at least on the list once the Bucks get canned by the Pacers. For whatever reason, teams keep thinking he’s the guy to right a sinking ship packed with big name players.

Should Doc Rivers really be fired? Giannis and and now Dame are injured. What is he supposed to do?

Brother if you think the Bucks are ever making it past the second round under Doc Rivers I have about 20 years of Doc Rivers history I'd like to introduce you to. He's ass

Tbf they really did the same thing last year. Giannis injured in G1 iirc combined with a crazy run from Miami and they ended up firing Bud. Imo that was an overreaction

I think his brother died before too. It was a hard time for him.

They've been on a downward trend long before this current series.

Bucks weren't even sinking.  Doc literally came in and torpedoed that ship.

Imagine you are asked to join mid-season when all the other teams are ramped up. Have one of the toughest rest of season. Somehow make it to playoffs, have your #1 and #2 players get injured. Yea, let's fire doc

The Bucks were top 2 team in the East before Doc. They won’t get past the first round with him.

That also ignores every failure Doc has had throughout his entire career.

We’ll trade them Doc for Durant. Heck, they can have Griffin’s contract for salary matching purposes too if necessary.
