What do you guys think? I'm definitely worried for the Bucks if they reach a Game 6 or 7 in the playoffs.. Milwaukee will get full dose of the "Doc Rivers Experience"...

Hahaha. They won't make game 6 or 7 in playoffs. More likely they will be swept or most 5.

That team's defense was amazing and Doc wasn't responsible for that, Thibs was. That combined with KG's last remnants of his prime did wonders. Then they basically had a coach on the court at all times with Rondo calling the shots.

Lillard and doc overrated in recent history

[@juju-vl7oj]

Docs lack of accountability is what bothers me . He can’t help he’s a bad coach and if they keep offering him jobs I understand him taking it because apparently he loves to do it.. But what I simply can’t understand is how the hell did an NBA team that has championship hopes AGAIN think Doc was the answer?? It’s just bizarre that the league and almost all of the front offices seem to think he’s a great coach and won’t call him out at all.

[@Kuroganemk2]

Think they don't care about championships as much as keeping Gianis happy by showing that they are at least trying and Doc was the only 'big name' coach available to make that happen?

[@MrWritingTutor]

After winning their first championship, the Bucks got undisciplined and unfocused. They fired Budenholzer and traded for Lillard to appease Giannis and now it’s blown up in their face.

[@uumanebs]

Those things wouldn't be an issue if Doc had even just maintained the teams current level of success. Firing your coach when your team is flickering back and forth between being the 2nd and 3rd best team in the league is ridiculous. This team has far too many good defenders for them to be rated as low as they have been all season. Even in terms of teams Dame has been on, the teams defense was on par with some of the worst teams he's been a part of, so this isn't one player dragging the defense down. It's the team itself failing. And if Doc were a good defensive coach, he didn't need to touch the offense, just even marginally improve the defense and they could have gone from the 2/3rd best in the league to the best. People point to Doc's championship, but that's not where executives are looking to see if he can coach. It's that old Magic team that basically consisted of what would today be G League guys that he got into the playoffs in a weak Eastern Conference. That's the one and only season in his career you can look at him and claim he might have done a good job coaching. You could also argue that the players were playing out of their mind to have a spot on a roster going forward and were put in the best possible situation to achieve that combined with no one taking them seriously due to a clear lack of talent.

[@nunyabizznizz7326]

[@hellaseurope2012]

I think Doc shouldn't be judged yet, it's not possible for a coach to make changes in such a short time. Doc has to figure out how to use Dame but that's not easy to do because Dame is not used to play out of his comfort zone. The defence already looks better, the fact that the offence dropped means that the team lacks stamina and it takes time to build, when Middleton returns things will get better for sure
