Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 2.29.24



Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 2.29.24

I’m I’m guessing you would would never get tired of ball movement questions but it’s again tonight it seems like it’s been at a a really really high level these four games and you know be five threes Pat double digits I imagine in games like this getting those guys

Involved it sure it’s nice you know um and you need your stars to be the guys to make the right plays and they did that so Giannis H Dame started it and you know Brook tonight and extra passes Bobby extra passes uh Pat conon walked

By me in the third quarter and said is this what you mean by good to great and it’s good that like the fact that he’s thinking that it’s it’s just good for our team you know it helps everybody it’s easy to play hard on defense when you know the ball’s being played right

On offense yeah on the defensive side they get you know within double or within single digit second quarter Dame has like a knock away on a on Bridges like he jumps out Jay gets screened out yeah turnover he’s a big run what what have you kind kind of seen from I guess

Dame in that regard to to Dame Dame Dame has great hands yeah he has great hands like you saw he got another steal in the second half he told me that he said man coach I can play defense it’s just that Portland they had to do a lot of offense

He said now I can concentrate a little bit on both ends with all these guys and he’s doing that you know obviously his size with a bigger guy we we got caught on bigger guys tonight uh but if you put the ball in front of him you know Dame

Has unbelievable hands and he gets to it he’s also going to the right spots you know in our rotations defensively and that’s been great too you mentioned a little bit but just broken the yeah that’s been great you know uh it’s a short slow row you know is what we

Call it with him but he’s so big when you throw it to him he sees everything and it’s been really good for us we talked a little bit about team KN what to do I think assist onight yeah yeah this was you know listen we had a lead

But this they they you knew they were going to play hard tonight um you know at what happened the other night so we I thought overall Focus was was really good uh we sustained a couple of their runs um and what I like is we’re having defensive runs you know um tradeing

Baskets and then we’ll get one two three four five stops in a row and with our Ball moving now it’s a 13 or 15o game it’s been good um just real quick going back to Chris from earlier U the day you had said oh if he made this trip he might

Play close yeah now you’re before the game you’re like well I don’t know if he would play so just curious if there was any issu no no issues no nothing going on with him except for we’re just he had a hell of a workout today we know that

Uh he’s going to drive up uh tonight or tomorrow morning and then we’ll assess from there so w here for all these games but um bucks won Le four games against the Hornets by nearly 30 points per game it is it just a case of really good

Matchup yeah I guess I was here for three of them actually which is crazy um yeah you know and and Veterans versus young players you know um they’re they’re you know I listen Cliff is a hell of a coach and it’s so obvious to see um but he’s got a bunch of young

Guys that are that are learning how to win play basketball his best players is out you know but they run the right stuff they do the right stuff you know watching Miller Miller’s going to be an incredible basketball player you know uh he probably needs veterans around him

You know right now he doesn’t have that um the fact that Seth is a veteran you know just tells you how young their team is thanks guys

  1. A little bit of film watching on defense but overall another great game. Keep the kitchen cooking Doc! Hope Middleton returns soon, like literally tomorrow for the Bulls I would feel a lot more comfortable with him playing for the stretch coming up

  2. Doc can you hear them talking now or are the haters waiting on one bad bad game like they do with Dame😮

  3. I don’t wanna see Bulls vs Bucks go into overtime. Handle business BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

  4. One thing I'm noticing with Doc is the probably simultaneously the best AND the worst thing about him: he's articulate and outspoken. He knows what to say to the players for his vision of the plays, but he's also saying it to the press which could be used against us in the future.

    I'm glad we and the players know what he wants to do, but I'm not exactly happy that other coaches get to know that as well.
