These Aren’t The Same Milwaukee Bucks

These Aren’t The Same Milwaukee Bucks

The White Flag being waved why you say that J cuz the nassi is getting ready to come into the game with the Milwaukee Bucks throwing in the ti against the Minnesota Timberwolves they would effectively fall to being one and five in their first six games of their Doc

Rivers era which is not exactly what any bucks fan wanted to hear but at least they would go on to smash the Charlotte Hornets the following game so with the Bucks starting their doc era one and five their only win would come against the Dallas Mavericks against the

Mavericks Giannis would drop 48 points 10 assists six rebounds and five steals going 20 of 28 from the field meanwhile Damen Lillard would go 10 of 11 from the field while knocking down all five of his three-pointers and route to scoring 30 points let that marinate it didn’t

Just take a good performance from Yannis and Dame it took out of this world performances from this team stars in order to just win one of their first six games that is Bonkers but perhaps not more Bonkers than the simple fact that Doc Rivers is now coaching this Bucks

Team last season if you would have told me that I would be making a video about Doc Rivers coaching a Damian Lillard and yanis TMO Le Bucks team that would be struggling upon his arrival I would have called you crazy but yeah here we are and done ironically people are already

Assuming the worst for Doc Rivers and this Milwaukee Bucks team that has been built to win now Stephen A Smith thinks that if Doc Rivers doesn’t get it together that this will be his last head coaching job in the NBA Al together and in this one situation Stephen A Smith is

Right if doc isn’t able to elevate this team and show that he’s better than what he’s put on the floor in the bucks first six games there’s a chance that this really could be it for him this video we have to talk about what has been unfolding right in front of us in

Milwaukee but before we get to the content let’s go ahead and get a word from today’s sponsor so I’ve teamed up with DraftKings in order to bring you guys an elite offer for Super Bowl 58 so that you guys guys could enjoy that final week of football like a boss all

Case in Milwaukee with the Bucks opting to fire rookie head coach Adrien Griffin who would amass an impressive 30 and13 record Being the Bucks Head Coach although I can admit that I never saw this firing coming I’d be lying if I said that there weren’t a ton of hints

Coming out of Milwaukee that this marriage would not work out when the Bucks hired STS to serve as Griffin’s lead assistant I thought that the hiring made too much sense Griffin was a R head coach seen as someone who was more focused on development and defense

Meanwhile STS was a vet that was known for his offenses and helping to maximize the Buc eventual Superstar Edition Damen Lillard sounds ideal right so what was the problem the problem was that Griffin a rookie head coach inherited a Buc team that had more modest expectations but that Blockbuster Damen Liller trade

Changed everything that blockbuster trade made STS as valuable as ever and of of course STS knew that which to me made STS stepping down even more surprising STS stepping down shocked everybody even Dame of course these sort of things happen but still that’s not exactly how you want to start your

Season and not a great look for your head coach who just wanted to feel like they were in charge and not be micromanaged honestly the more that I’ve read up about this entire Adrien Griffin situation the more that I’ve just felt bad for the dude when the Bucks lost in

The inseason tournament to the Pacers Milwaukee would have an airing out session led by Adrien Griffin and then go on to win its next seven games but this wouldn’t stop the complaining because the players would still be complaining to me it really feels like Griffin never got that respect that came

With being an NBA head coach regardless of the Bucks being one of the best teams in the league at least record-wise I say record-wise because while records are important in the NBA they’re not everything thing in life you will learn that the process can definitely be more important than just the results so

According to this report once the buck started observing practices and shootarounds and they could see that something wasn’t right Griffin would be fired a week later and I’m sure Giannis losing faith in him didn’t really help things out for him either now I’m not going to sit here and say that firing

Griffin was completely the wrong move because anytime that your team is this happy following a coach’s firing things had to be pretty bad in that locker room now mind you that as wild as a firing like this might seem we’ve seen firings like this one work out before like when

David blat was fired mid-season at 30 and 11 and then tyo came in helping that LeBron James LED Cavs team win a championship of course that was a while ago happening in 2016 but my point Remains the Same sometimes The Road Less Traveled yields better results and

That’s what the Bucks are hoping for in this case so again while I don’t agree with the way that the Bucks managed Griffin I won’t say that they were wrong to fire him but what I will say is that them hiring Doc Rivers as their head coach was not something that I was

Necessarily on board with and that’s not to say that Doc is a bad coach at all but it’s not exactly like doc has overachieved his last couple of stops where he’s had some really good teams for me the icing on the cake is that this man normally doesn’t even keep a

Great relationship with all of his Stars which in today’s NBA is a pretty big deal a lot of Doc’s former Stars straight up have issues with Doc who according to Doc is never at fault let’s name off some examples Rivers has stated that his relationship with Harden is

What forced him into doing TV and not his own coaching Rivers publicly threw Ben Simmons under the bus Which Ben says wore on him doc was also beefing with Paul George after blowing a 3-1 lead and before that it would come out that how the Clipper stars were treated divided

The team if there’s one thing that has unfortunately followed Doc it’s been some sort of dysfunction even if it hasn’t all been his fault I love doc man if this guy has nothing else he has a bunch of Personality amid the buck slow start he absolutely refused to break

Character yeah just you know the Utah game you you kind of knew you know altitude back to back um I mean that whoever scheduled a Dallas Utah have never been on the airplane in their life you know or no time zones you know so that was just a tough one we knew that

Um I guarantee you when they looked at that before the year started they were like this this was going to be a brutal game for us uh end of a trip legs you can just see it we got a lot of injuries right now so guys are playing more

Extended minutes I think that’s and you know what they’re playing harder on defense the funniest thing about the Doc Rivers experience for me is how he’s acted like taking on this job has been some giant burden to him saying that I’ve never done this before and I don’t

Wish this upon anybody like oh yeah doc inheriting a buck team that has Dame and Giannis is one of the worst things that could have happened to you it’s not like they were already one of the best teams in the league it’s not like you’re getting $40 million for this gig and to

Top everything off you get to coach the Eastern Conference All Stars after just arriving in Milwaukee if I’m Adrien Griffin then I am sick to my stomach as all of this is going on which huge props to Adrien Griffin for handling this whole debacle so professionally so do

You guys think that it was a coincidence that as all of this was going on Dame was out here talking about how he might return to Portland one day obviously if Dame were to return to Portland it would be way down the line but I still thought that that was something interesting to

Include nonetheless now fortunately for Milwaukee obviously Things Are are going to undoubtedly continue to get better as they are such a talented team that they have no choice other than to get better it’s important to not discount these few things this team has been hurt they did

Just get a new coach and again they’re obviously better than they’re playing it can take time to hit your stride all that matters is that you hit it remember what everybody was saying when the Clippers lost six straight upon acquiring Harden and now they’re one of

The the best teams in the entire league as much as I’m not a fan of Doc as a coach I have to admit that even amid their struggles that the Bucks have looked more cohesive as a unit which is what you expect from a team that has Championship aspirations that trade

Deadline edition of Patrick Beverly isn’t looking too bad either as he showed his value in his first game as a buck this locker room needed a pat Bev badly and so did Doc I’d argue that doc needed them more than any anybody even more than Maran and Andre Jackson Jr who

Are both going to benefit greatly from his mentoring I know that Dame probably raised an eyebrow when he saw that this man was coming to Milwaukee but I know that in the end he’s going to appreciate what he does for this locker room and defense which is ranked 20th and needing

All of the help that it can get now guys let me know if I have too much faith in this Buck team and its talent I say that because I’m still not the biggest believer in Doc but I’m willing to give give him a chance I’m really hoping that

This whole thing works out because I would really love to see Dame win a ring after all of his loyalty him and Harden are two guys that I’m rooting for hard this postseason one last note doc if you’re listening to this keep faith in those Young Bucks because they can

Really help this team out but yeah guys let me know what you think of everything down in the comments below clicking the video on the screen right now is a great way to support my channel I’m get like Coupe bringing you guys the scoop until our next upload
