'We're better than that': Bucks coach Doc Rivers reacts to Pat Beverley throwing ball at fan

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers is reacting to the behavior of Patrick Beverley during and after the team's Game 6 playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night.
First, the Milwaukee Bucks guard threw the ball at a fan in the stands at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Then in Beverley's post-game press conference he refused to answer questions from an ESPN reporter after learning she didn't subscribe to his podcast.
He then pushed her mircrophone from him and told her to leave his "circle."
Rivers said Friday he talked to Beverley and noted the player's actions aren't acceptable.

Doc saying Beverley did the wrong thing then spends the next minute rationalizing and saying how out of character it is. Out of character for Patrick Beverley?

You're right. Beverley is a hot-head and punk despite being a solid defender on the court. Doc Rivers just aggravates me with this kind of cheeseball commentary on a serious incident for which Beverley needs to be suspended and fined heavily. Rivers is not a stand-up guy, he's a waffler. Just say Beverley did a terrible thing and will be disciplined by the team no matter what the league office does. This mealy mouthed comment is just about as infuriating as what Beverley did. I've lost a lot of respect for Rivers.

Beverly is the Antonio Brown of the NBA That lady should be suing him fuck a apology

[@raythelljordan6550]

Doc is a trash coach, get rid of him

[@veganfit2388]

It’s a felony assault and he should be arrested and charged. I’ll never go to a bucks game again.

How would Doc know that’s the Milwaukee way? He’s been there for like two months.

[@jimmyraidjames]

Money 😁😁

[@hofx666]

Well he did this on the cusp of being eliminated. He blindsided cp3 on the cusp of elimination. He is the worst loser there is which is weird because he’s never been close to winning anything.

Apparently not...

[@nathancloud6344]

An immediate judgement after a blatant action. Why would this be unfortunate for the guilty? Whats unfortunate is some innocent person was struck in the face while funding his salary.

What is Doc talking about? He should be kicked out of the NBA.

[@intercessor8428]

This incident combined with the racist slurs used at your home games are very disappointing 🙏♥️🎯

[@justinpitcock5312]

Right and accusing the Pacers fans of being racist and calling the Pacer players Thugs and classless all over social media and KZbin. Bucks fan have really showed the nation who they really are.
