Immediate reaction on social media from NBA fans on the Milwaukee Bucks' decision to fire head coach Adrian Griffin often seemed to be one of mouth wide-open surprise.

As in "are you not paid to win the games?"

"They're 30-13" was a trending topic on X (the site formerly known as Twitter) soon after the dismissal was confirmed.

This didn't compute for many fans of the league (outside of the Milwaukee area at least).

But if you've been watching facial expressions on the bench from Bucks' players in recent weeks, this probably wasn't exactly a shock as defense often appeared optional.

Here's a sample of posts after Griffin was shown the door despite winning 30 of 43 games.

They're 30-13!

Thanasis Antetokounmpo's role

There is a theory that Griffin didn't want Thanasis on the roster, who some think is untouchable in any deadline trade made with the Bucks.

Will Doc Rivers be the next coach of the Bucks?

For some, the former Marquette star can't get here fast enough. Others prefer he remain on television.
