After losing a tough one to a decent New Orleans team and before a likely loss to Houston on Saturday, the Bucks defense craps the bed against the Bulls. Can't handle the big guys and Brogdon with a dud.

Bucks give up 64 points to the 3 Bulls big guys: Mirotic, Lopez, and Portis. That doesn't even reflect how much they let those 3 abuse them.
Having to play Vaughn big minutes really hurts. Not sure why you shouldn't play Liggins and at least get some defense.
They got a long way to go if they can't beat the Bulls. That was some ugly basketball.
They have been without Snell for a while now and replacing him with Gary Payton II or Vaughn is a huge downgrade
Kidd has to go

Every time I look up, the Bucks are missing a three.
The other night, Middleton was 5 for 19 from the field, and he was like 2 for 9 from downtown. The Bucks need to play to their strengths, which, sadly to say, is not from behind the arc far too often.
It's on the head coach. We have seen this garbage before with the Bucks playing down to and losing to awful teams. For a team with this level of talent it's unacceptable.
I also have no idea why Kidd insists on playing Payton and Vaughn and he has no idea what to do wIth Thon Maker. He's got to see more minutes or at least get Liggins more reps as he can defend.
They played with great flow and crispness on offense, and beat up on a weak team with no post players, and played tough defense.....cough....yeah I'm talking about the "tanking" Chicago Bulls, they played more inspired ball than the Bucks.
Career night for Portis. Kidd is. A terrible coach.
