Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd doesn't seem to want his players hitting a strip club on the eve of a game.

Can you really blame him?

On Wednesday, TMZ Sports put out video of four Bucks—apparently O.J. Mayo, Greg Monroe, Khris Middleton and Miles Plumlee—partying it up in Los Angeles on Monday night until about 2 a.m.

On Tuesday, the Lakers smacked Milwaukee around, 113-95. This came just three days after the Bucks gave the Golden State Warriors their first loss of the year.

As Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, Kidd wasn't amused:

Kidd on 4 players at strip club night before Lakers: "This is a young team learning to be professional."

Kidd on players in road cities: "You're going to go have dinner and you have to be responsible."

Asked if any internal discipline for 4, Kidd said: "We had that discussion today, so that was enough discipline to have to listen to me."

The Bucks are a young team, so mistakes are going to happen. Still, this isn't a great look.
