The Bucks are a MESS under Doc Rivers

The Bucks are a MESS under Doc Rivers

Let’s move on to another subject that’s percolating here at Allstar Weekend and that is the story of the Milwaukee Bucks the Milwaukee Bucks have now fallen in three and seven under Doc Rivers as their new head coach courtesy of a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies last night now

When you look at Doc Rivers this is my buddy I’ve known him for years got a lot of love for him but some of the things that I’m seeing right now I’m not happy about yes he got the job because Adrien Griffin who was 30 and 13 didn’t seem to

Know how to coach defense Doc Rivers is coming there obviously the Mandate was defense well here’s the deal the Milwaukee Bucks went from 19th in defensive efficiencies in defensive efficiency to 10th that’s the good news here’s the bad news they went from number two in offensive efficiency to

24th Giannis is shooting 6% less from the field once Doc Rivers has arrived than before he got got there not to mention the fact that they’re shooting worse from the free from field from the field they’re shooting worse from three-point range so now all of a sudden you’re struggling offensively which is

Not a good sign because Damen Lillard is there I’d rather you suffer defensively because it makes perfect sense if you if you’re struggling defensively because Damen Lillard ain’t Drew holiday but offensively Drew Holiday Ain’t Damen Lillard and I don’t want to see a team with Damen Lillard and jannis Santa TMO

As his two superstars struggling so miserably on the off offensive side of the ball the Grizzlies were short-handed playing the second half of a back toback look at this right here who’s Santi Al I never heard of the man but he had seven points last night zier Williams I

Remember the six is drafted him years ago is that the same Z I don’t even know he had 27 points Trey Jameson 10 points Jordan Goodwin 11 points Vince Williams Jr 18 who the hell are these people there’s no John Moran in there there’s no Desmond Bane up in

There all right there’s no jiren Jackson up in there Steve Stephen Adams at Brandon Clark who are these people but somehow they’re doing what they’re doing and then I’m seeing that I got to look twice because they got somebody dude coming off their bench and Lamar Stevens at 13 Point g g Jack

Brother don’t even have first name that’s a publicize gg gg Jackson and he’s balling okay when I saw Lamar Stevens I thought Lamar Jackson I thought I was watching I thought I thought for some it was a type or a mistake cuz I was thinking Lamar so

What the hell is a Baltimore Raven doing on the screen but that’s what we’re talking about here that’s what we have and so if you look at it from that standpoint and you’re looking at the Milwaukee Bucks Doc Rivers what did he say after the game you see the quote

Right here here it is what did he say we had some guys here we had some guys in high now Doc Rivers has never been shy calling out his team his players when necessary and nobody can definitively say he’s wrong because some of them look like they were ready for vacation some

Of them looked like they couldn’t wait to get the hell away when you’re in a city like Milwaukee you got to win because what else is there to do I mean it ain’t La it ain’t New York I mean it’s just interesting places to go I get it please don’t I’m not trying

To poooo the place totally but I’m just saying you know it’s great Sports time but if you ain’t winning what else is there to do you know how I feel about cold ass cities so I’m just asking that question and making sure that we’re paying attention to it okay
