We are probably going to get into the playoffs this year and yet wisconsinites could care less about the Bucks as evidenced by ticket sales. Herb Kohl has to realize that selling tickets and generating fan interest requires more than eeking into the playoffs. Its going to require players that give this team legitimate hope and fans a reason to be excited. The Cavs suck this year but Im pretty sure their fans are pretty damn happy they have Kyrie Irving and hopeful for the future.

He has never coached a talented roster and still has had a winning record as a coach. He is a good coach by NBA standards, can you even name the bucks coaches between George Karl and Scott Skiles?

We dont need to turn this around we need to plummet and rebuild. Skiles did a pretty admirable job with the talent he had to work with the past 4 seasons. Im bummed he’s gone.

Tobias started at the beginning of the season, it wasn’t that pretty.

RJ–just to touch on the Dalembert thing, I think Sammy D caught what Andrew Bogut had last year, Skiles & Andrew couldn’t get along so he didnt play him in certain times when he should’ve, kinda like Stephen Jackson too, etc. Disclaimer: not defending Jackson, he was a jerk too, but same concept, sitting someone even though they’d probably help (aka putting the best line-up on the floor regardless of feelings that gives the team the best chance to win).

Not tryin to be a dick but what possible reason could you think of for the best team in the NBA to break up their roster?

First off, we have 5 guys being paid nearly 7 million plus this year:
Beno Udrih
Monta Ellis
Ersan Ilyasova
Drew Gooden
Samuel Dalembert

I mean why pick up Dalembert and sit him all year??? Dude is shooting 60% and Larry Sanders to back him is a great threat. Then you have Ilyasova, Gooden, Udoh, and Henson at the 4. Mbah a Moute, Dunleavy, and Daniels at the 3. We have 3 PG in Ellis, Jennings, and Udrih and a bench guy in Lamb. The players aren’t being used properly and a trade needs to be made as well. A true shooting guard is needed to be effective. Jennings and Ellis are great on a team together, but don’t need to spend much time on the court at the same time. Trade anyone for a nice SG like Kevin Martin from OKC.

How about this line-up:
Jennings
Kevin Martin
Mbah a Moute
Larry Sanders
Dalembert

Jennings
Martin
Mbah a Moute
Ilyasova
Dalembert

Share some of Udoh’s minutes with Gooden. You can bring Beno off the bench at the 1 or the 2. At 3,4, and 5 we have depth everywhere. Find some chemistry!!! And bring in Tobias Harris earlier than the final seconds of the game. The kid has a nice game and is shooting 49% on the year. I can’t watch Jellis chuck up tons of shots and hit on a majority of them once a week.

And grab another SG why you’re at it. If you can keep Ellis and pull this off, then do it. John Hammond: Make a move, what is there to lose. You have a good team that can be great. I don’t understand Skiles playing the players he has been playing. This isn’t a team that is rebuilding for 4 years from now. We are capable of taking the East but are a few moves away from that. Let’s make a deal, excite Milwaukee beyond the point of sneaking into the playoffs. GO BUCKS GO!!!

[...] This move certainly escalated quickly, as reports surfaced today that Skiles would likely not stick around at the end of this season. [...]

hes not a good coach…in everyone one of his tenures he starts strong which is more a product of renewed enthusiasm by the players and whole organization and then titanically crashes and loses the team as if his charade is discovered.he bails when the going gets tough and in a small market its always gonna be tough.hes flatout disrespecting sen kohl just like sabotager grunfeld who trades away the face of a franchise and flip murray and a first round pick for an aged vet who said flat out he wont sign with milwaukee and a role player in mason as ernie is on his way out…dump skiles before he poisons the team anymore.
