Congrats to Rivers. He's destroyed another solid player. Kyle Kuzma. Rivers and Giannis criticizing him for not being "selfish enough." Stupid! Kuzma was contributing with scoring, solid rebounding, assists, and playing some solid defense and because the Bucks were losing, those two idiots hint that it's Kuzma's fault? Are you serious?

For openers, Giannis thinks it's all about him. Lillard feels the same way about himself. Both think they're above reproach, and here's Rivers on the sideline being totally clueless as to how you build team chemistry. instead, between him and Horst, they're looking for ways to replace the support group around them, blaming them for the misfires that are happening repeatedly.

The "flavor of the month" with Rivers is two guys off the bench. Porter and Trent. It will last until the end of March, and they'll be held responsible for the team failures. It's a story that keeps repeating itself with new people cast into the roles of those who cause the problems. It's ****** in the Bucks culture at this point. It happened with DiVincenzo, Connaughton, Holiday, Bledsoe, and others. They get run through the mill and cast aside. Some end up being solid players after leaving the Bucks and the malignant culture.

I can hardly wait until there's new ownership, firing of Horst and Rivers, and Lillard and Giannis traded so they can start to rebuild the culture like a team has to be built to be competitive in the NBA.
"...firing of Horst and Rivers, and Lillard and Giannis traded so they can start to rebuild the culture like a team has to be built to be competitive in the NBA."

That's it in a nutshell. Giannis should bring some decent offers, but I don't expect much for Lillard. The sad part is that it didn't have to end this way.

Agreed. It didn't have to end up here. It shouldn't have. Horst decided he'd play God with the team and damaged them on the court and sideline because of it. The cancer spread from him, and now it's everywhere. Lots of players out there who are now just going through the motions and can hardly wait to leave Milwaukee. I don't blame them.

Sitting two rows back behind the bench in Houston, I saw how players were reacting in regard to Rivers, and his "coaching." He'd yell at players for mistakes but not offer one bit of constructive criticism. If you can't use it as a teaching moment you've got no business yelling at the player. You obviously don't have a better plan for handling that situation in the future.
