An article by half-rate media outlet/opinion merchants Deadspin claims that Doc Rivers has already lost the Bucks locker room. Their evidence? A quote from Giannis where he explains some of the changes in practice intensity under Doc. The rest of the article provides no evidence of any issues.

He is weird. He is primarily an NFL reporter who occasionally writes about NBA to shit on people/teams (he did it for Embiid, Warriors, Ayton).
Deadspin is horrible, they just got hit by a lawsuit for defaming a 9 year old KC chiefs fan for having “black face” and showed only the left side of his face with black, when it was black and red. Garbage website
Reminder that this era of dead spin is not what they use to be. RIP Deadspin
Damn, I hadn’t heard of Deadspin in like a decade
The disdain for Doc from the national media is insane. They love to see the guy fail. There’s no context to the Bucks’ recent injury woes. There’s no grace period for a guy who just got dropped into a team mid season. These articles and stories (see also Sportscenter) are just click baity and cringey.
I miss the old Deadspin. Long live Defector
If you had posted this yesterday this sub would have blown up with “we need to fire Doc” and “Doc sucks” comments.
Deadspin is not what it used to be and it was been complete assssssss for a while
If you look at the author’s article history he writes primarily about how good the warriors and clippers are doing and shits on any eastern conference teams.
He wrote an article about how Klay is/should stay with the warriors and another how “Embiid dropped 70, but guess what – it’s not helping him get out the second round”
I miss the real Deadspin. They were the best in the business. It’s gotten really sad.
Keep all of the damn receipts.
This legit reads like a casual fan who barely followed the league was tasked with writing a hit piece on Doc Rivers and put like a half hour of thought into it.
I really can’t wait until Khris is back and we get somewhat of an extended stretch with our full team and several weeks under Doc to fully implement his stuff. We already look so much better defensively, the offense will come around now that we actually have our point guards available. When Khris is back they’re gonna take off.
Keep all the receipts. Lotta idiots out there who were frothing at the mouth eager to clown us and rip on Doc, can’t wait to throw that shit back at them. Reminds me of when everyone laughed at the Clippers for starting super slow during Harden’s first couple weeks and then they rattled off a 25-5 stretch and shut everyone up.
Isn’t it kinda an open secret now that deadspin used Ai to write articles
