How does Doc Rivers STILL have a job?
For reference, the Bucks were 30-13 when they fired Adrian Griffin, and I believe 32-14 when they finalized the hiring of Doc.
Since then:
2023-24: 19-20, first round exit at the hand of the Pacers
2024-25: 48-34, albeit with one NBA Cup Championship, first round exit at the hand of the Pacers
2025-26: 26-34, 8 games under .500, with the team lacking competitiveness despite battling injuries all year at.
He’s been heavily criticized by Bucks fans and they don’t seem to be making the playoffs this year as well. This is despite having a former DPOY and 2-time MVP, 1 time finals MVP on your roster AND playing in what is commonly considered a rather weak eastern conference.
Celtics just came in last night and won by 27 points despite their 2 best players out injured and their MIP candidate in Queta also being out. Bucks should have been able to win this game.
