When An NBA Player Was DRUNK On The Court...

[@monsoon1234567890]

Doc Rivers would use a very drunk vet before ever giving minutes to a rookie.

[@Wallyworld30]

Doc Rivers has given Pat Connaughton nothing but DNP's for 2 weeks and promoted the young guys to starter and rotational pieces. Bucks have won 7 games straight since he made the change. Pat Connaughton is making $9mill/per to sit on the bench.

[@wesbesttreacts4515]

I get what you’re saying, but he literally said rookie sga had more minutes than him 😂

[@Unbothered_allegory36]

I found this comment funny even if the others didn’t

[@johnmarkson1990]

even last season the record was worse but the defense was miles better under doc. hes an excellent coach. he just cant win every single game because thats the nba. will he lead the bucks to the playoffs? yes. will they beat the celtics? probably not. is that doc rivers fault? hell no.

[@xavierb9061]

He wa right

[@Drakerot]

Doc played in the 80’s, when players used to go up to the coach and say”Yo, you have to take me out, I’m sober”

but it wasn't booze (mainly) but cocaine back then

Why the hell would he do this against a bottom tier Knicks team. Just play a rookie, let Lou rest, and see if he’s good by the 4th. (Maybe have him sweat it out in the back during half time and give him some water). Potentially humiliating your star player against a bad team, is horrendous coaching.

“Doc can’t make adjustments” I will never question this ever again. Just leave the drunk dude out there!

Doc Rivers made huge adjustment with his Bucks Team. He promoted the 2nd year young fella's to starters and Rotational pieces and now they have won 7 straight games! Doc Rivers might be the most underrated Coach in the NBA. He's a damn good coach and better than 95% of NBA Coaches.

Risking your player getting humiliating or worse hurting himself/others. Just to possibly get a win against a bottom tier Knicks team. Instead of playing your young guys. Is probably one the worst coaching decisions I’ve ever heard. Just let him rest/drink water, and maybe do some cardio during half time to sweat some of it out. Lost a bit of respect for him tbh.
