Doc Rivers: "We just have to find our identity…If you're going to have Fear the Deer, you gotta fear the deer."

Doc has started media today and this is one excerpt from his interview.
There is more of course, and a particular standout is mentioning how he’s never come in half way through a season and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I’ll choose to not worry about that right now lol.

On this particular quote, I think he may be referring to how this team struggles against physical defenses. There really isn’t any intensity adjustments if the defense is getting away with more physicality and they sorta just fizzle out like large portions of last night

Oouuuu scary
I’m rooting for the doc. He was scapegoated because Embiid sucks in the playoffs
Doc speaks from personal experience, he’s terrified of deer after that one time a deer ran in front of his golf cart
I wonder how late Doc stayed up last night to come up with this line.
As someone who fears the deer and has been very high on Bucks, I just gotta say Doc better have no clue!
Can we fade them now or do we have to wait?
glen’s got that deer in headlights look its perfect
How inspiring.

“Giannis they don’t Fear the Deer, mean mug more and scream super loud after the play. You too Dame. They must fear the Deer.”
-Doc Rivers during a timeout
Quit playing with your venison (deer meat) guys
He not wrong
fear the deer
formally bucks
what is this man yapping about lol
That’s just a nothing burger statement. “We just need to find our identity”. Every coach says that. And it means nothing.
Giannis, a couple years ago: NBA world is his. Won a title with fucking Milwaukee. Viewed as the best player in the world. People acted like the Bucks were a draft-based on team. Small market jerkoff sessions by the media.
Giannis now: Two coaches fired in 40ish regular season games. Demanded a trade for a superstar. Plays ignorant like everyone can’t see through him. That WEIRD postseason press conference last season. Has Doc Rivers. Who, I think everyone intelligent admits, was the best possible available hire. But, a guy known for flopping in the playoffs. And Doc is already put out written “sophisticated” quotes.
Dude,keeps getting chances .I don’t understand how ? His Celtics era is gone and clearly chokes in playoffs.
Is John Deere a sponsor for the Bucks? Seems like a missed opportunity if they aren’t.
He should have shoved another catchphrase there like ‘It’s Doccing time 😎’ or something smh
With Giannis and dame doc has now coached 11 hall of famers you can make it 14 if you wanna count grant hill Blake griffin and rondo. But that many hall of famers and only 2 finals appearances.
My Dad used to make tacos with deer meat. The only thing I feared was diarrhea.
“Hey listen…..we <same old garbage>”
So when does he start coaching in games?
If you’re going to have showtime lakers, you gotta show the time.
Docs fear is going up 3-1 in a playoff series.
Frequency Vibrations
It’s times like these I miss Game of Zones
I fear the bus. Which bus? The one that you gonna throw Dame under.
This guy is a meme.
Doc is ready for the “you expect a win with a half season coach” and it’ll go one until he’s fired
