FIRST TAKE | Doc is NOT the answer! – Stephen A. reacts to The Bucks limp into the All-Star break

Them to three and seven since Rivers took over for Griffin and gives them a 35-21 record heading into the allstar break here’s doc postgame I thought we were bad until we needed to be you know what I mean like we started out the game um I think um we

Gifted like five threes in a row where we were standing there we just you know everybody in this league can play you got to respect everybody um the one kid made three in a row you know um and we did we didn’t even adjust guy drives uh

We have to help leads to a three we come back in this uh on our Set uh two guys forget what we’re running uh then we missed a shot and then nobody gets back that’s how we start out the third quarter that tells you all you need to

Know about where our heads were um you know um we had some guys here we had some guys in Cabo we had some guys in Cabo uh the Bucks are now three and seven under Doc Rivers that’s the worst 10 game start of his coach coaching career Milwaukee was

32 and 14 before Rivers took over also just want to give you an update um speaking of someone inside Stephen A’s Camp he should be arriving shortly um I will start with you I will I will continue to keep you posted on such matters uh Tim how bad are things for

Giannis and the bucks um definitely in a bad place right now I I think when I watch the Bucks what I’m seeing a couple of things I I think I’m seeing right now a loss of belief right they just don’t have that Swagger that you would expect a team with jannis

Sant DMO and Damen lard to have they there’s too many breakdowns and and Doc alluded to some of the things that are based on maybe concentration or based on just competitive will I’m seeing some of that as well they’ve had defensive issues all year and I think we’re we

Really started to see early on the impact of not having Drew holiday as your point of attack Defender and and the difference that makes with a guy like Damen Lillard who may is going to do his damage on the under end of the floor I don’t think people put maybe

Enough stock into that difference going into the season cuz everybody had the Bucks in the top two in the East there’s not a person out there that didn’t have the Milwaukee Bucks in the top two with the same roster they have now so it’s not the talent we we look at the roster

We say that is good enough to contend in Eastern Conference now maybe Boston’s the best team in eastern you come up short but where they have fallen to let I allow teams like Cleveland maybe to surpass them in people’s minds to allow Nicks when they’re fully at full

Strength to pass them now in in terms of belief of who could make a run in Eastern Conference that speaks a lot more than to their roster defensively the competitive will and the multiple effort plays are just not there right now look Doc Rivers I’m not laying it at

At his feet at all he just got there it’s hard Monica for a player to come in midseason to a new locker room and immediately have an impact it’s hard for a player it’s twice as hard for a head coach because everything’s been laid out since September coach the

NBA take a lot more time than and right now he came into a situation that wor and sometimes going to happen you make coach change before get [Applause] rest [Applause] and move and we things that are hely Ely important [Applause] all potatoes well andato don’t how how doing things right now for the
