Bucks Coach Budenholzer Roasted On Social Media as Milwaukee Destroyed by Nets

 

For the Milwaukee Bucks, this season is shaping up just like any other: Regular season dominance, playoff flop. 

After an embarrassing blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets to go down 0-2 in their second-round series, Bucks fans have left no doubt who they hold responsible. 

What are the odds Coach Bud gets fired mid series?

CITY OF MILWAUKEE: "swear to god if Bud doesn't put Antetokounmpo back in the game before this becomes a blowout again we are going to raise hell."

COACH BUD: "Your feedback has been heard. Thanasis, get in there."

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer is clearly on the hot seat once again, and he is hearing it from all sides. His refusal to ratchet up the minutes for superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and his inability to adjust during playoff series is the main sticking point. 

It all started with the 2019 Conference Finals, when the Toronto Raptors reeled off four straight wins to come back from an 0-2 deficit against Milwaukee. Last season, a flameout in the bubble, and now the Bucks once again look like 'deers in the headlights'.

If the Bucks can't figure out a way to recover in this series, could we be seeing the end of the Coach Bud era in Milwaukee?
