Doc Rivers reacts to the first-game loss as head coach of the Bucks🗣️

There any uh getting this first game getting started like I don’t know relas the right word but you just happy kind of like all right we’re started getting yeah I’m happy we we’re going you know I you know I just know for a while it’s going to be a tough like especially

Offensive calls you know I had to turn uh to Joe and DJ a lot because uh me and Y like you know I bet three what’s that play where where Bobby you know um that it’s going to take a minute um I mean I I bet I’ve watched our offense 50 times

Over the last two days yet you’re still just going to take time to have the right Rhythm to make the right calls we scored a lot out of atos um I wish we could have you know that was made my stuff but I wanted to score I’d rather score off what we run

Because they know the second and third options of those um you the defensive I guess alignment with Joker to make him work looked a little bit like last year at least the way it’s did you pull from that especially the way with Brook and and then using Bobby

And some doubles yeah Brook and Bobby double uh uh Giannis uh guarding him uh H us when he picked that fourth foul up that was cuz we were about to go to him guarding we were actually going to go small um Yannis only big would would Brook you

Know make Joker would have to guard him in transition but then he picks up his fourth foul so sometimes you have plans and you just they don’t work how did you feel like your guys responded to your coaching tonight oh they’re great they’re they’re very coachable team

They’re they’re adults you know this is not uh this team is so far I mean uh but they are they’re very coachable um that that will never that won’t be a problem with this group um yic taking 25 shots to get 25 points yeah is that kind of

Like the perfect that’s exactly what we need like he had to fight for his points tonight uh difficult points uh but he’s still really good you know um but when he takes 25 shots it means a couple things number one he couldn’t find guys the way he wanted to um and then number

Two that means he had to force a lot of tough shots that’s what our defense has to be you mentioned second unit you changed rotations a little bit so I guess what went into your plan there to sort of amend things yeah I didn’t like

In the first half when we had d mananas off the floor uh I thought that’s when they made their little run I know we’ve been doing that I think you can get away with that against some teams but you can’t do that against a good team um and

So we switched it uh in the second half but even at the start of the game like Dame this is the first time he hasn’t played a full first quarter yeah yeah was that altitude in Denver or was that something you were no that was something

We talked about uh we talked about it my first day um you know I really want Dame and Giannis to be in when we get into penalty uh but I don’t want Dame to be tired when we get in the penalty so our our plan is to take him out out and

Bring them both back in so they can end quarters you said that you felt like this was an offense loss what type of adjustments do you tell your team to make when it is going that way that much just move the ball trust each other um

The trust you know it goes in and out it’s it’s in the flux you know what’s funny it’s it’s what I saw from afar uh it it was really interesting I this is exactly what I saw from TV you know uh sitting on the couch and uh the good

News there you know is very fix because you have guys that want to get it right so um listen Dam and Yannis have played 40 games together in their life you know uh Joker and and and Murray have played you know and if you looked at the game

Tonight down the stretch they had it going our guys couldn’t get it going and that was the difference you know um I told our guys like today we’re going to spend longer shoot rounds uh we have to catch up to that you know you’re never

Going to catch up to that but you can get it better and we’re going to have to do it through practice what did you like about your defense tonight just we had fight um you know we we scrambled well uh loved our switching down the stretch

Getting um you know scramming Dame out a lot um I thought Dame fought like so you know the cats out of the B they all provve they can do it so so now we have to do it every night
