Doc Rivers Will Sabotage the Milwaukee BUCKS Season …
All right ladies and gentlemen breaking news breaking news breaking news uh coach Adrien Griffin has been fired from the Milwaukee Bucks um first time head coach only been a head coach for about how many games have we played this season literally barely more than half the season 35 bro yeah
35 there game 43 they he literally barely made it halfway yeah uh only been coaching for about 43 games 30 and 13 bucks are second in the Eastern Conference um I think that I saw some um I saw some statistics on with the Bucs rank let me pull that up real quick uh
They are second in offensive rating 21st in defensive rating U but they’re like high in rebounds or some stuff like that fourth in Pace uh not not a bad team at all again second in the Eastern Conference and Coach Adrien Griffin um has been fired um there’s some more
Stuff that I want to get into specifically some speculatory stuff but how how do y’all how do y’all feel about you know what happened I’m typically a defendant um not not not to the um level of my my uh co-host doy here but um I’ve typically been more reserved on firings
However this one I think is an exception to the rule because as DMO has Illustrated several times another one of my fantastic co-host the bucks for some unknown reason aren’t it defensively and if you like name the names on the Bucks roster hell we’ve seen the these names
Play together before we’ve seen Bobby poris Chris Middleton Giannis anant DMO Brook Lopez even some of the other players it’s just a matter of like wow this team is not that good defensively um you could argue an effort level if you have to be Pro coach here but I’m not going
To lie that it I think he was just getting carried I think he was getting very carried very much carried here I’m not necessarily mad at the firing but I always will say who the hell do you hire and that I don’t know at this moment in
Time oh there’s an answer stage oh no there there is an answer you know who the answer is the doc is in man the doc is in oh 2008 Championship level coach he’s done it before why can’t he do it again oh please no nastily nastily enough his
Own advisor Adrien Griffin’s own advisor uh Doc Rivers and supposed to be finals host but it be it’ll be taking a step down and well taking a step up going from announcer to coach again that is the front runner and front runner so bad that they are literally talking about
Contract negotiations like like right now oh no okay well can can I change my take well then let me let me put all the information out so so you can you can have the best informed takes for those that haven’t seen um Doc Rivers is the front runner for this
Position um again so bad that they are like really really in talks about what the contract and bringing all these things look on and all this stuff it’s nasty because Rivers was Adrien Griffin’s advisor first year coach black coach he needed an advisor you know he
Hits up tyo hey man who is your Mentor Doc Rivers right calls doc River Mentor me Doc Rivers um another another fact that I should put out there uh jannis a toopa reportedly lost faith in Adrien Griffin reportedly lost faith in Adrien Griffin uh I just got this strange strange interview um
This is from October 4th 2023 Adrian Griffin told reporters that both Giannis and Damen Lillard did not practice or participate in today’s practice he also told us Chris Middleton did not fully participate here’s the back and forth uh we had with him to try to figure out what’s going on with
Middleton um interviewer asks was Chris available today he says not live on the court but he’s been very productive with his individual workouts and he’s been working his way towards getting back to five on five basketball so what he’s done the last few days has not been a
Surprise to you because he said he has no pain and feels great at media day Adrian Griffin says no no we got time on our side we’re just being smart he’s been working diligently reporter what’s ailing him does it have to do with his knee Adrian Griffin just us being smart
Just not rushing the process he’s doing great reporter is it fair to say the plan is October 26th Chris will be ready to go Adrien Griffin just day to day just taking it one day at a time now now but he’s progressing beautifully um Adrian or the reporter
Does this feel like something you’re going to have to manage all year like is it a problem Adrian G what kind of problem the fact that he’s not practicing right now and you’re trying to ramp him up who Chris is whatever he’s dealing with a long-term concern and then Adrian Griffin says
What’s popping up for Chris what he the reporter says I’m trying to figure out why he’s not practicing Adrian Griffin says he’s not live practicing but he’s progressing are we taking it day by and we’re taking it day by day and we’re just being smart and we’re not rushing the process the
Interviewer says is it fair to say he is not cleared hey yo he is not cleared for three on three or 55 yet and that’s that’s what you’re waiting for Adrian Griffin says he’s cleared to be where he’s supposed to be and he’s right on time the reason why I read that is
Because people speculate as to that’s where he lost the lock room October 4th 2023 that’s what they’re pointing at did the season even start hey damn listen man I I my my feeling towards this is honestly relatively similar to my feelings um when there were conversations about like should we
Fire Joe moula for the Boston Celtics um it’s just unfortunate that a lot of first year coaches uh specifically recently have been put in situation High very high pressure situations where they have Championship expectations at the gate uh we’re talking about uh E Joe Missoula Darin ham um Adrian Griffin um
And then when they’re de as this this guy who’s not ready to coach a championship level team now they get the cut C uh the cord cut from them prematurely in my opinion um when in my opinion all pun intended they didn’t really get their Fair shake to be honest
With you then get their Fair shake they need a little bit more time to become the coaches that they need to be but at the same time I understand when you trade for Dame you got the squad that you got you are in uh Championship win
Now mode so if you don’t feel like Adrien Griffin is that dude then I kind of understand yeah I’m not going to act like I don’t understand the firing whatsoever but it’s it’s a unfortunate situation I would say that um for me personally this didn’t really come as much as a surprise
Um earlier U even before the season start I want to say before the preseason what’s his name in the uh quinon uh Terry STS the assistant coach who was the head coach of I believe the Trailblazers before coming over and taking his job he quit he he flat out
Quit and the rumors were that Adrien Griffin was so bad he jumped ship like he he just if they weren’t going to give him control he was going to leave because this guy didn’t know what he was doing that was the rumors now I was like
Ah there’s no way we’re at least going to see him through the season see what he can do the fact that they fired him mid season and this is the same midseason where us as Lakers fans Sage we were sitting here man I don’t like
Dar ham but it don’t make no sense to fire him especially if you’re trying to make a push and the Bucks are scen as a way more of a title Contender than the Lakers in my opion for sure their scene is definitely more of a contender than
The Lakers and they fired him halfway through the season and basically said hey Doc you been watching us long enough and calling the games might as well call the shots too that’s insane work like how bad at like I understand I think Dar Ham’s bad Dar ham ain’t even that bad I
Guess that is crazy at least we were like you know what we can’t risk losing the coach and jeopardize the season they said we don’t care Giannis and DNE will carry the ship it it had to be they had to have all players meeting to go to
Management and say get him the hell out of here that’s crazy mind you they they don’t even necessarily believe entirely in Doc because they have no faith in uh uh Adrien and if doc was mentoring Adrian what kind of you know what maybe that’s too lateral or obtuse there uh my
My whole thing and the reason I said that I’m going change my take a little bit is cuz I always ask who are you going to hire now if you’re going to hire somebody that’s relatively in his Camp unless you think they think entirely different or the uh coach was
Proven to have been more successful which I guess he has but it’s like I I don’t like I don’t like when um Championship contending teams hire coaches that prove that they don’t have the the pretty much any potential to win a championship in in the modern day and
Age of basketball like when when we can argue a coach like Mike buen Hooser overachieves or a coach like uh uh uh what’s the other one I’m I’m blanking I’m blanking Monty Williams over achieved stuff like that fine go for it Frank vogle is another one fine go for
It you want to call a ring Mickey that’s fine but the idea of hiring a coach that since 2008 is just a Perpetual I’m not trying to be disrespectful but it kind of has to sound that way Perpetual loser the the [ __ ] is just straight up not it he just
Cannot do it I I would go down and name every season but I don’t want to hog the mike here but my God he just he’s just proven to be the problem he’s had many different rosters many different Superstars and in fact half of the superstars don’t even play the [ __ ]
Same they not even at the same position in the case of Philly so it it’s just I I don’t like moving on if it’s doc however if he lost the locker room if he’s doing things behind the scenes where it’s just making life hell and you
Got to fire him then I guess you got to fire him but uh I don’t I don’t like the Doc Rivers retiring at all I I want to say this because there’s a let me say this there’s a lot of news going around that Adrian Griffin fire lot of a lot of
Stuff saying that um it has nothing to do with basketball there’s a lot of speculation about him and his grandson and his involvement in his grandson’s death which I found out today and that’s kind of crazy he had a two-year-old grandson that died last year and they saying that he might have some
Involvement don’t want to get into that I’m seeing in the chat now that yeah yeah I’m seeing the chat now apparently um something about Adrien Griffin firing Damen L’s friend and and they kind of losing each other there I I don’t want to get into that what I want to get into
Is the stance that I’ve maintained routinely on this podcast about coaching it is not greener on the other side the Milwaukee Bucks and the fan base um are spoil brats spoil no no no spoil spoil Bratz you don’t know what it’s like to have bad coaching you don’t
Know you you don’t have Chanty bips you don’t have wash Greg Papa [ __ ] you don’t have Darin ham you don’t you don’t have that guy when you had Mike buenos and and I understand you have Championship aspirations and Blas Blas blah but you nitpicked a situation that didn’t need
To be picked at you know y’all got that scab that really doesn’t need to be picked at just you just constantly picking at it and then all of a sudden you pick it off and it’s just pouring blood and and now you damn if you wasn’t
Picking at this scab it would have never did anything I don’t think that buen hoser was the best coach revolutionary all time whatever whatever I do think he was one of the better coaches in the league top 10 top five I’m just throwing that out there but to get greedy and now you’re
Seeing the spiral that you’re about to go down I saw some other names on that list it’s the same names if it’s not Doc Rivers is gonna be Jeff Van Gundy Mar Mark Jackson the same the same names oh my God three stes man the Dum D
Dum about the three stoes is about to be your coach so so now you sit here in a situation where you had let me see what they ranked defensively what did they what y’all think they ranked defensively last year this year they are second off they only r j
Coverage oh my God last year they were 12th offensively fourth defensively the year before that they were third defensive or third offensively stop with the drop coverage defensively the championship year they were sixth offensively 10th defensively coverage they were eighth offensively first defensively and then the year before
That they were fourth this is still what this is still under Mike wosen fourth offensively and first defensively jop coverage spammer oh my God stop so y’all y’all are getting greedy y’all got greedy y’all got greedy y’all nitpicked y’all y’all did all this fdy Dutty stuff when there were some moves
That could have been made y’all bow down to Giannis because I think Giannis has some stuff to do with this as well so y’all bow down to Giannis and here you are so when you y’all mad at Adrien Griffin right now now I’mma tell you something y’all G and and oh did y’all
Notice that jannis didn’t want Nick nurse yeah oh I didn’t know that that I did know jannis didn’t want nickse he didn’t want nickse summertime they had opportunity why not didn’t like him I don’t know why but he didn’t made better he would made him he would challenged
Them as a coach this is from the Stein line League sources say now that the desire to play with for Griffin is better described as a determination to play for someone other than Nick nurse nurse was among the candidates that the Bucks had high on their list after a
Five game drubbing by number eight seated at Miami in the first round of last season playoffs but sources say that anmo wanted the Bucks to go in a different direction and thus chose Champion Griffin

U spelled bucks wrong in the title
💀GIFTED ONE CHIP WITH A SUPER TEAM AND RIDES THAT AS HIS RESUME HIS ENTIRE CAREER. BUCKS ARE ABOUTM TO BLOW A 3-1 LEAD IN THE SECOND ROUND
Doc is not surviving Dame
Jimmy's gonna solo anyway
Milwaukee Buccaneers
giannis chose A.G. because giannis knew A.G. was going to be a pushover
Dame is the reason there defense is bad
I knew it was over when Giannis was drawing up plays vs the pistons
Why will anyone ever learn 😭😫
Darvin scam need to be fired next
A sad day for Bucks Fans we're totally screwed
As a bucks tan I hope it aint real til I hear shams or woj report it
Whoever thought doc rivers needs jail time
Bro I just don't understand how stupid these teams are. Why did they keep hiring doc Rivers? I just don't understand it
audio problems?
Lopez a cone now 😢
The bucks defense is not a good perimeter defense team the domt have a point of attack defender i think they need to mack a trade for a guard defender cause dame aint that and i thought Middleton would be but he's not and the best way to use giannis is like a safety to roam the paint
Yo Solz,what if the celtics pull off jb for someone like brooklopez,Jae crowder and picks,brook is defender that can stretch the floor and him next to Tingus Pingus would go hard(pause)
They’re not looking for a coach they’re looking for a scapegoat to blame everything on if Giannis and Dame underperform
as a Heat fan i find this entire situation really funny. all this bc Jimmy randomly became Michael Jordan for a single series last playoffs. the irony of the situation with Dame ending up there isnt lost on me either
Yall so quick to blame Doc for Chris Paul who’s a playoff chicken or James harden who’s a playoff choker or Joel Embiid who’s a playoff choker 🤣 and to say the bucks are spoiled the same bucks who when Giannis was drafted only won 7 games and then after that won 13 🤣 yet yall praise LBJ when he was the one who told management to fire his head coach and then they got Ty Lue and won the chip
I been a fan of the bucks since before giannis was even him fr we have terrible coachs j kid used to run giannis at the 1 for ormar to say tht shi is insane the buck was a poverty franchise for a long time mike bs way of coaching kept getting picked apart him not making adjustments wen needed was bad
Omar, Griffin was bad, that was the right choice.
Omar you’re wrong Mike bud is one of the biggest playoff choking coaches in the league. That’s a HORRIBLE TAKE
All the "failed teams" that Doc was involved in how many of those players have gone on to win a championship? Zero?
Omar's mic is really low. But man, how did Milwaukee see their situation worse than the lakers.
So they fired the student to hired the teacher who has a questionable career and teach the guy who u just fired?
