Doc Rivers IS NOT The Right Coach For The Bucks



Doc Rivers IS NOT The Right Coach For The Bucks

What are your thoughts on Doc R taking over as bucks head coach uh I mean we’ll see um we will see man what will we see Brandon what will we see we will see the Bucs in the finals what not everybody left what finals the NBA

Finals he don’t know who his coach is he’s I mean he won a ring oh my God you don’t you don’t know Glenn you don’t know Glen like I no Glenn I got no Glen that Glenn that Glenn Glen R yall in trouble goddamn it seriously yeah why

Why are the Bucks in trouble with Glenn Rivers as their head coach I’m calling him doc I you know I got respect for him man do you know his resume look what the [ __ ] is he actually he done he’s won a ring with Boston made of the finals what two times

With Boston with the team that was favorite every year after they got Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and then that same championship year they had to go seven games in the first round to the eighth seed that they did not win a game on the road they won all the games at home

Second round they did not win the game at on the road went seven first two rounds they win straight seven games with some trash ass teams and they didn’t win in that team’s Arena that Glenn that was [ __ ] I can tell you this we need some more pieces now now some Defenders I

Don’t give a [ __ ] what they say about the resume this is all you need to know besides red rback and we can even challenge his talent pool you know doc probably has the most Hall of Fame players he’s coached he’s coached the most Hall of Fame players in NBA history I’ll put like

68% I don’t see anyone like just thinking that someone has a better list than him he has about 20 to 21 Hall of Famers under his belt and have been if been Simmons makes it he will be added if Maxi ever makes he will be added like

He’s done coach that many that much talent and only has one Championship on a given so so you said Milwaukee bit them in the foot right here from his from his resume he doesn’t he doesn’t he doesn’t adjust well he doesn’t adjust well like if you beat him with

Like let’s just say going left he won’t adjust to that so you going to beat his ass the same way every single time because he won’t adjust I knew something was wrong with him when this happened it was Clippers versus Houston they were up 3-1 and the coach said the coach

Said um we’re gonna hack DeAndre Jordan right and they asked Doc and doc said well if they’re going to hack DeAndre Jordan we’re going to hack um Howard and I’m like you’re going to lose doing that because you don’t have a one-on-one player you don’t have James

Harden Chris Paul don’t really get to the free throw line like that and if he does you’re in trouble JJ R don’t get to the free throw line Blake Griffin right he has to get to the free throw line off of Just Bounce pass and try to go up

There and dunk you don’t have anybody that’s going to generate fouls once you get into the penalty so that would be dumb for you that’ be great for them because now you can’t touch James Harden when James Harden wants to get busy right so if you try to and

Exact he copied it every single time they get the fouling he gets the foul they get the fouling he gets the fou soon as the game soon as they in the penalty hey Dwight sit down James Harden 101 game seven James Harden shot 18 freet throw so are you saying that you’re not

Feeling uh the doc River to the Bucks move no I mean I don’t mind that he got a job I can just tell you as a buck fans y’all ain’t going to win [ __ ] as long as he’s there I mean I mean he didn’t he have

It’s like didn’t we just see him in how many times we like look at the great team like this man’s had great teams that Boston team you it was a great team you sque you won the first year and then you suffered every s that that uh

LA Clipper team you had a lot of talent over there you didn’t do nothing Philly you had a great team in Philly so Lexi this is your Arena uh what are your thoughts on Doc Rivers being named as the Bucks Head Coach um it’s just a little confusing I mean we talked about

It yesterday just the whole firing of the previous coach and immediately bringing in Doc like usually that takes a little bit of time to find the replacement okay so just trying to see I don’t know if it’ll be released or not what was going on behind the scenes for

All of this to transpire like and then reports come out that doc was helping out the Bucks and the coach um that is also a little odd but wait hold on hold that’s say that again they said he was like helping out the the team the coach like mentoring or

Informal Consulting Consulting so y’all going to hire the [ __ ] that was Consulting me on the plays that I was using I’m doing exactly what this [ __ ] was telling me to do and you find me and hire him tell to do doc was wasn’t wasn’t correcting him like

Yeah you run that yeah run that do that do that do that do that do that [ __ ] yeah go ahead that’s going to work that’s going to work right there run that play right there keep running it that way the doo twist so can you uh do

You feel like Doc Rivers may or may not have done some dirty macking I don’t know I I don’t know I don’t want to put that on the man’s character I’m saying that ain’t on me to put on his character I don’t could have been yeah could it have not been yeah

But a little odd though that I’m informally Consulting uh this squad shortly thereafter y’all fired the head coach and now I’m yeah no it’s just the full-time consultant if you will yeah no like Doc as a person got nothing against him but I’m kind of on what Gil is saying in that regard

Right man had a hell of a lot of talent dog hell of a lot of talent year in you’re out and some yeah because in the playoffs it comes we all know man it comes down to making adjustments rotations dos don’ts time it’s just something when when the game

Is on the line it just it ain’t there and when the series on the line it ain’t there and of course we go out and play but situational things and certain certain things need to be done and certain guys don’t need to play and some guys do need to play

And we’ve all sat there and watched it in real time and wondered like hm I wonder like so so question but he got a chance to prove us wrong though go ahead so with them I guess since people since we don’t since a lot of people don’t agree with Doc Rivers since

They’re kind of making like a panic coaches decision do you do you think they should keep Chris Middleton if I could get something for Chris midleton right now I would try to move him that could help cuz they CU it seem like since people don’t like Doc it’s like they’re panicking yeah

Definitely panic mode but uh I [ __ ] if I’m I’m reaching out to Chicago like I like that like that’ be a good move for Zack LaVine straight up but M um yeah that’s basketball I’m just thinking basketball terms what they third score right now what you probably need to

Compete yeah with everything else that you have on the roster like I like they say they got some solid NBA players don’t get me wrong but I think they like like Chris mil he just right now where he’s been in and out the lineup we got in the

Arena Chris would have to be like like that third option that clay was when uh when KD was there absolutely somebody left the door open yeah I wish hey anybody in that our Arizona group chat if you or no no not it wouldn’t be on the Arizona group chat

If uh oh that’ be Tommy Shepard or um it’d be Tommy Shep how many group chats you got Gil a bunch okay be Tommy Shep and um Calvin boof Denver Nuggets when they were down when they were up 3-1 and I wrote a whole game plan long ass thing

And I said slow and I said that slow the game down slow I said to beat the Clippers slow the game down I said they’re great when the when the the game is going on because they got like four guys who’s averaging 20 so all all all

Of them eat if you slow the game down keep it in between like 100 to 110 under 110 it favors Denver it favors joic because I mean it’s more of a half court game and he can dominate in the half court if you put Less meat which means

Possessions onto the field those guys start looking at each other they start fighting over who’s going to get the shots and I said however you win don’t change your game plan because Doc is horrible at adjusting and I I wrote he’s horrible at adjustin however you beat

Him in game five going to beat him in game six and seven he won’t change at all I I I wish I hope one of them can send it to me so I can show you this is 2020 how you text email you got aext Google Docs saves everything you think

People are going to like judge him taking over as a coach during playoffs like does the regular season even matter at this point or is it how he handles his team in playoffs I think playoffs for example say if they fall from two well they got to spend the rest

Of the this regular season learning his system to get ready for the playoffs for that’s what they F to do right now like they got to spend the rest of this [ __ ] getting ready for the playoffs they got enough Talent if they don’t change anything right now Dame and Yannis can

Do what they got to do to get him over the to that’s if Chris mil if they don’t make any moves if Chris Milton stay healthy and he’s continue to work on it throughout the season that I think he can he’s definitely reliable sour don’t

Get me wrong I like Chris mdon but if we can get Zack LaVine I I would do that but yeah yeah I just think they going to have to use the sh the rest of the regular season like getting that down pat what system because I don’t know

Whatever it is saying if if if Dame didn’t like Adrian Griffin’s Playbook you think he don’t like docs doc never had a scoring guard just pick and roll [ __ ] pick pick and roll with him Yannis I’m saying the shable James like all that [ __ ] like that from James struggled

Under him he a like that [ __ ] when he left the league in assist y y’all kept y’all kept throwing that [ __ ] stat out at me yeah but he don’t like but what I’m saying but you saying James Harden didn’t like that [ __ ] cuz you’re not letting me do what I want to

Do same thing Ben Simmons didn’t like that [ __ ] you’re not letting me do what I want to do Rondo is a assist guy Chris Paul the assist guy Damon is a score so if he didn’t like a Griff I’m with you I’m just saying but they he’s new and

They’ve been winning they second [ __ ] best second best record in the NBA that’s what I’m saying so and they made to [ __ ] change yeah I mean they got to win it man I mean they got to win it to me you number two but it’s a lose it’s a lose

Lose it’s like Doc what do you like this is not a job that I would I would have personally took because it gets me it gets me fired yeah but if you was already fired but yeah I’ve been fired before no that’s what I’m saying it gets it gets to me

Fired quicker because this team is supposed to win the championship now they do win the championship he doesn’t he won’t get credit for it because this was a championship team we made this trade for a championship so you’re doing exactly what he was on schedule to do so

You don’t get credit for this your credit comes next year right so you win a championship this year yeah everyone’s going to cheer but it’s what are you going to do next year because that’s when your time ticks right and then if you don’t win it this year they’re going

To like yo we bring you in here to so so most likely threeyear job so there were reports that uh it’s a threee it’s a no different Thani it’s a threeyear job so there were reports that uh during the hiring process Nick nurse kind of emerged as

One of the top candidates Giannis wasn’t feeling nurse decided to go with Griffin but to your point you’re trying to win a championship have a championship level coach do you entrust a rookie head coach to do that with no coaching experience in the postseason you I’m just saying

From the jump that you’re not feeling you’re not feeling Nick nurse I mean did you do you know his plays do you know like what I’m saying you’re making decisions on stuff that it’s more emotional than anything I want I want Griffin because I want my my

Friend yeah versus a coach that’s trying to win so yeah like why would you get a rookie coach if you try to win a championship too it just seems a little unclear what Giannis wants at this point but you Championship but everyone wants a championship so yeah like you know like

Why would you go get a rookie coach though if you want to win a championship to this is wait this is first year right yeah yeah yeah he just got they hire him before they got Dame he just got hired in yes his first year that’s what I’m before Dame right yeah

He was hired before Dame yeah so they like kind of flip the expectations on them and I think that’s unfair huh but the expectations I mean you always want to win right the expectation always win a championship but they weren’t expecting to be able to make that trade

Happen with Dame so Dame gets here the expectations shift a little bit for a rookie coach and now he’s fired yeah but that buck team number one in the East last year as constructed Giannis gets hurt in the first round they lose to the heat I think you know Brandon you more

Clear on this but there was an expectation coming this season regardless of whatever that Rost that it was still champ now D pops up like oh now we are now we are definitely for certain that we going 33 and what but then you got 30

And 13 right now I believe you got to take but okay they second in East and they got the second best record in there tired for the second best record NBA right Boston definitely got better yes yes definitely got better yes we all can they [ __ ] got

Better it just it just yeah I really want to know what like it just can’t be that D we unhappy with the system or I’m not getting the ball enough or I’m not getting the ball where I need it it got to be just that I’m not rolling with

That [ __ ] I never I think it’s ego I’m not rolling thato never who’s ego the players I mean the I mean [ __ ] the players are both kind of I mean it’s different like when you used to every night getting it getting the ball and now you got to man sometimes you got to

Prove a [ __ ] Point as a coach [ __ ] over here crying about they should be playing oh really hold on time out you you you sit you go on there go run offense the way you like it watch this [ __ ] y’all watch the [ __ ] fail and now sit your ass

Over here like I told your ass they going fire the coach you getting they going to fire the co the coach ain’t really got you getting fired anyway you’re 30 and 13 right you want all the shots oh then then call your play every single time let’s see how this work

Out let’s see how it work out like sometimes like as coaches you got to like we don’t know your vision we can only see ours so so someone has to prove their point and if you’re not willing to then the players is right right right you know if I think this [ __ ]

Ain’t going to get the ball and I I don’t want to pass it down there then me and you going to bump anyway so so I’m like all right watch this look at that fumble hands there you go right that that’s going to end up happening right so you

Know as a coach sometimes you know when you feel like you lose in the locker room you got to you you got to say all right we’re going to do it your way let’s let’s see how this works Ken you talked about Celtics getting better obviously Adam porzingis but the

Bucks helped that obviously sending drew a part I didal the Blazer Joe Cronin Mastermind know the Blazer was going to be ass so here we’ll go ahead and send Drew back to the east to Boston now what yall going to do yeah hey it’s that’s part of doing

Business man the game is the game as they said decisions you make sometime they come back to bite you in your ass man immediately like yeah calmer right away sometimes karma is immediately like it’s instantly and in this case so we talked about the Bucs defensive issues but Gils you pointed

Out scoring more points per game I think their their net their net rating it’s plus yeah it has increased but is that more of a concern now and what move should they look to make to strengthen the defensive side of the ball if they’re going to make

One it don’t make sense from last year to this year they’re plus two so they’re two points better all around defense and offense they’re two points better than they were last year so 116 they’re giving up 113 they’re giving up 119 but they’re scoring 125 right you’re you’re better okay

Right that’s how you’re supposed to look at it you don’t supposed to look at oh you’re giving up 119 yeah [ __ ] but I’m scoring I’m scoring a lot more regular season though when playoffs hitting now you have that same expectation well we we can’t we can only go by when we see

Right now they’re a better team overall than they were last year that’s what the numbers say and is Giannis pushing for Griffin uh then getting him fired a setback for the player empowerment crowd everybody want get in there so Giannis pushing for Griffin then getting them fired halfway through the season a

Setback for the player empowerment crowd everybody wants to be leg GM nowadays be careful it’s not for everybody be careful not everybody’s good at that be careful doing that I don’t know man the Bucks got to the Bucks got to win it like in these next

Two years if they don’t it’s dang it it’s like it’s it’s a failure to me and then you could look to start moving pieces again at this point so I mean to me I think they got to win it this year or next year and we got some breaking news uh

Austin Rivers just signed with the bucks no it’s [ __ ] trash Jay Vision in the chat shout out legendary comment I mean ain’t nothing wrong with that I mean best horrible damn man it ain’t about the players it’s about that coaching staff so

  1. Zach lavine in the bucks would only make their problems worse. They dont need more offense. Their defense right now is ass

  2. I don’t know Doc won a ring with the Celtics then the Heat formed Clippers were solid but then came the warriors as well as injuries then Kawhi makes a crazy shot as well as injures and a bust in Simmons seems like Doc now has legit 2 superstars one being a potential 10 ten all time player and the other right behind Steph as far as creative shooters Doc never had something like this

  3. So Mark Jackson's number isn't in service? He'd be a better offensive coach than Glen Rivers

  4. I Doc is going to get them to the finals seriously, he's never had two absolutely dominant and unstoppable players on the same team. Yes he's had all stars, future hall of Famers, but Greek and Dame? Both can go off any game on anybody. Let's sit back watch

  5. THANK YOU. Rivers is super overrated. Prob most overrated headcoach in NBA history, I mean, who's more overrated ? Who ? Has had so much talent at his disposal for so very little to show for.

  6. I don't like the hiring long term, but short term we know doc is going to get you to the playoffs, the question is how will giannis and lillard play once they are on their own in the playoffs with a coach going "c'mon guys" during time outs

  7. I like BJ, he was a baller but there is a reason he never made an Allstar and deep playoff run and it starts with his understanding of his surroundings like coaches

  8. So the Bucks goes from a Championship roster surrounding Giannis with Chris and Jrue and coach Bud to Doc, Lilliard and any washed up wing player for Chris. Bad Management 😊

  9. Naw K-Mart. Lavine is nice but Bucks need a guard that can defend. Plus one who doesn’t care to score because Gil is right. Scoring guards suffer under Doc. A healthy Zo would be good if he hasn’t lost a step. Something in that direction and move Dame to the 2.

  10. Bucks messed up when they traded Holiday for Lillard. Holiday is still a really good player. They gave him to the competition lol.

  11. Why is Brandon on this podcast???? He’s straight clueless on every topic. And he acts like he never played in the NBA. Please find a replacement ASAP!

  12. Dog … Gil had me ctfu how he just straight up laughed at Brandon Jennings bucks finals prediction 😂😂 i kinda agree with his point tho. Doc Rivers a lil overrated

  13. I think they got tired of listening to his raspy ass voice on the tv networks so they just gave em a gig 😂
