Bucks suffer back-to-back losses vs Wizards & Grizzlies: should Doc be concerned? | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Okay so let’s talk about a chaser I guess they’re Chaser the Bucks what is going on in Milwaukee I mean when I hear doc talk about professionalism I mean immediately that speaks to me about their their leadership on the team like I mean what are they doing on the road

Are they not are they going out are they yeah we we talked about but they don’t seem like a party team to me no they don’t I mean you would think when you have a guy like Dame and guys like Patrick Beverly a they hold guys

Accountable but I just don’t see it in this team this year they lack the defensive toughness they lack the presence you know Giannis has been great obviously number-wise but teams aren’t afraid of Milwaukee anymore no you know they’re 500 since the All-Star break uh or or since doc has taking over and they

Just don’t have that aura anymore they don’t give you a defensive presence anymore and so when I look at the Eastern Conference I put them in the same mix with the rest of the teams there’s Boston and everybody else is on the same playing field to me I think Milwaukee

Can lose to anyone then they can beat anyone not named the Boston Celtics I mean they don’t really stand out I mean but bucks Cavaliers magic Nicks heat they’re all in the same boat to me and so it’s surprising because of the last four or five years they’ve been dominant

Team defensively they just don’t carry that presence anymore and they could easily lose in the first round this year if they get a wrong if they get the wrong match up and have to see like the Heat or a Sixers with Joel and B back

You can see them going first but it’s an impossible task you ask doc to do he came in in the middle of the Season which we’ve never seen we’ve seen it once uh David black and Cleveland got fired when they were first place or second place you brought in tyon okay

They won the championship but they did have that what’s that guy’s name uh Lebron Lebron they had LeBron okay but ultimately at the end milwauke is going to be judged on their playoff performance so they are we got to wait and see okay was it was it a mistake for

Doc to take over when he took over probably not okay but a lot of these games when when you assemble talent and you try to put it together you went out and you got Dame you obviously got Middleton you obviously got a little Hustle Man and Patrick Beverly who none

Of those guys showed up last night right they didn’t play they were not there you you figure okay it’s Memphis we should be able to get through with Brook Lopez we should be able to get through with Giannis but those other dudes put on uniforms in in in tennis shoes too regardless they

Going they they going to try to beat you they go they out there to prove to the other teams in the NBA we can play too we want to we want to win so we can get a bag I look at them and I say when you

Look at it though just in general the Celtics obviously running away with this thing they 13 games ahead of the number two team which are the Bucks they 13 games ahead of them which is like crazy I’ve never heard of that or seen that before yeah Milwaukee is the type of

Team though I believe if they get into when they get into the playoffs and those guys are healthy that that switch will turn on because they’ve been there before yeah they’ve been there everybody’s been there the players Doc’s been there although he surrendered some 3-1 leads

In his career before and we always joke about it and talk about it but he’s been in the postseason and and you can’t discount he he knows you can’t discount postseason success at all especially when you got veteran players that’s played in it so I’m not like oh my God

Oh my God oh my God I think they can be bounc in the first round but I also think they can bounce people in the first and the second round as well and wind up looking at the Celtics for the Eastern Conference Championship y okay quick as side before I go you just

Referred to tennis shoes and I couldn’t believe that came out of your mouth cuz I grew up calling any sort of leisure Footwear tennis shoes and I don’t even know where it came from why would you call it tennis shoes that’s what the that’s what I tennis shoes did you call

It tennis shoes I think I did call it tennis shoes tennis shoes and then they became sneakers right yeah I don’t know I’ve always I think I’ve always just said tennis shoes tennis okay I have two and then I always even when I tell my

Kids go get my tennis shoes I don’t say go get my Snickers I where did that ever start from tennis shoes did you ever play tennis I didn’t either I didn’t play tennis okay all right now back to business here’s what got me about last night the Milwaukee Bucks featuring

Giannis he was there and he did he played let me look at played 32 minutes in this game they got beat points in the paint 76 to 36 the 76 points in the paint that’s the third most in the last 25 years that a team has given up 76 paint

Points with Giannis a defensive player of the year and Lopez and Brook Lopez a shot blocker Supreme right you gave up 76 that’s just effort desire want to that that’s just you just didn’t show up last night that’s what happened because you you’re getting pounded by at home at

Home by jiren Jackson Jr although the weird part was he had only three rebounds and and GG Jackson who’s a a rookie out of South Carolina he had 12 rebounds I don’t even know who Jordan Goodwin is he’s second-year player undrafted at a St Louis he had 12

Rebounds um Lamar Stevens had nine rebounds I don’t even know these people playing for Memphis because they don’t have their Stars so is isn’t this like the alltime humiliation to have to suffer that at home and Paul it did make me wonder was that a reaction to Doc

Calling them out in a bad way where they just said okay you point fingers at us we’ll just show you we just won’t show up tonight right yeah you know if you’re going to blame us we’ll put it right back on your head because we just we’ll basically quit on

You for this night against this team well let’s hope they let’s hope they didn’t do such a things they’re they’re professionals they get a check I don’t think they just laid down because doc said that you know they don’t handle business a certain way on the road I

Mean a lot of this lies I think on Giannis truthfully because when you have a coach when you have Adrien Griffith I think a lot of things came up like could lead them to a championship once Dame got there because that’s the expectations you have when you get a

Caliber of player Dame Lillard and Auntie Tumo they didn’t probably believe that he could lead him there and so he had to have some say if if Adrian griman was not going to beat or got fired to bring in Doc he hadn jannis has your franchise player he got the one ini now

Now you bring in Doc and y’all don’t play as well and doc has to implement his system and you know get conf you have to gain confidence in his coaching and voice and now they turn into a 500 team why is nobody talking about the guy

Who’s considered one of the top two or three players in the whole world yeah accountable for all of this and so a lot of this is on him I think he’s taking a deep he’s taking a step back on defense yeah he had five blocks but the presence

Isn’t there for Milwaukee on the defensive end anymore and you can say all you want to say about they don’t have drew holiday uh up front Middleton’s been in and out of the lineup you still got two all defensive players on the on the Block in Brook

Lopez and ano so there’s no way you should give up 76 points in the paint and that’s just a lack of effort a lack of will of lack of trying when you’re playing against the Memphis Grizzlies who are on their way to the loty lottery and Cancun this summer yeah so hey you

Still got Malik Bey who’s a hustle face too I mean he’ll he’ll try he’s a try hard guy P he puts effort like I’m not sure if they’re responding to Doc right now when I see games like this so I don’t know if he’s lost the locker room

Or what but this is inexcusable I’m with you I think they’re a first round exit candidate it just smells like that right now like it did not click and I do think even though I don’t want to put it on one guy as you say but when Drew exits

And you replace it with Dame you lose some of your defensive tenacity and identity you you just because he’s he is big time he’s brought a new element to the Celtics of it’s just like a defensive toughness and Marcus Smart did too it’s same but but again you didn’t

Lose anything when you replaced Marcus Smart with Drew holiday they have lost something so so now the onus falls on Dame because he’s going to need to make six or seven threes in playoff games because that’s who they are now that they sort of live and die now off can

Dame get hot or not right one way or the other Giannis is probably going to give you about what he gives you but he’s doesn’t have the defensive presence he used to right it just is what it is so they can win the first round they can

Lose the uh in the Conference Finals or they can win so I’m just not confident in them a lot of basketball play by not at all and then you know another name Middleton I don’t know he’s in and out of the lineup if they’re not going to get anything from him consistently and

This team is is this is a disappointment for Milwaukee before to see when they added Dan you instantly said okay them vers the Celtics and the Conference Finals now I’m not going to rush to no conclusions and everything but they are judged off their playoff success and so

We just got to wait and see okay what if they flame out what what does it do to Doc’s sort of Legacy anything at all is he just a maid man like he’s well you got to you got to understand he came in the in the middle of a burning fire like

Right now you’re saying this out burning fire I mean like like I mean you know they was they were winning yeah but you’re asked to do an impossible situation you you bring in a whole new coach like who they were winning yeah that’s why I didn’t understand why they

Made the move to be the move was not to get rid of Adrien Griffin in the beginning during the season this is a move you make before the season or after the season now you come where they have no practice time under dock you know you

Have no training camp and so what do you do do you go with your old Playbook your old defensive philosophy or do you implement something on the fly in the middle of the Season like how do the players pick that up and if it doesn’t work how do you gain the confidence of

The players if it doesn’t work and you’re not winning so then they get to tune you out and then they start doing their own thing which sometimes it looks like they’re doing their own thing on the defensive end because they have no defense of presence they don’t even

Though he’s been there the majority of the Season who doc he got there in the middle of the Season like you got a Playbook key and now six games into the NFL season you get a whole new playbook and you got to adjust on fly and y’all

Been winning with the play look that y’all already have I got there what they already had 40 45 games in prob I think no it was that they was they was they was 30 I think they was 30 and 13 they was around there really yes yes more

Than halfway yeah it feel it feels like that it feel I don’t know it could you could be right it just feel like it was to me it feel like it was a lot less games it was halfway at least halfway they had 30 wins when he got there wow

They was second in the east 30 wins and then you bring in second place a few games behind the Celtics and then you implement a new Co new system a new coach like that’s almost you know you’re asking to do something impossible and then you’re asked to lead them over the

Top to the championship so if they get bounced this year then you essentially got to bring doc back the following year anyway absolutely to run it all back yeah I mean get you got to give him a training camp yeah Implement maybe a a coaching staff of of his desires so

Crazy why they would do it in the first place exactly exactly okay last Quick point is Patrick Beverly how much could he mean in the playoffs to them I the the famous Infamous quote from Russell Westbrook back in the day was that that Pat Bev tricks y’all you know he he he

Didn’t really play any defense he just tricks you with a lot of smoking mirrors so what do you think he could mean so do I I I do love him he gets on my nerves he gets on my nerves as a as a fan when I’m watching him on teams against teams

That I like but I would love to play with him I would love to play with him yeah I think Patrick Beverly brings an intensity just to your locker room and a presence and holds people accountable I mean he’s not afraid to really speak his mind and and you need certain guys like

That in the locker room when uh other guys won’t say a thing like you know who I see I can actually see Pat Beverly going up to Giannis and be like look exactly I agree with that the hell are you doing you’re right like I don’t know

If anybody else would do that on their team and so yeah Dame is not leadership he he’s he’s more unto himself he’s a great player unto himself but but he’s not a takeover guy in the locker room but I think Pat Bev could be a key to to

Flipping the switch for them yeah absolutely thanks for watching Undisputed fans do you want more highlights from the show make sure to click that subscribe button for all the exclusive content from Undisputed
