Bucks made a huge mistake not hiring Nick Nurse. His hypermodern offensive and defensive schemes are ahead of the rest of the league. Giannis and Bucks needed that
If you wanna fire Griffin, thats fine. But Doc Rivers ain't the answer. Dude is a choke artist extraordinaire. Another early playoff exit incoming for the bucks this season.
Thats because hes a ego controller....do ur research...he was a consult under griffin the entire season this issue is no back court defense since holiday left
Lol. That makes the hiring even worse. Fire griffin who was consulting with Doc. Then proceed to hire doc. Make it make sense. I'm well aware that this isn't a coaching issue, but a player one. Perimeter defense is non existent for the bucks this season.
Doc rivers has coached so much hall of fame talent. And yet has only one ring. He went from coaching the mvp of the league last year and harden a former mvp and future hall of famer to their rival now with Giannis and Dame
@@pennytrue2741Don’t forget Leonard and George in La da man has had a plethora of talent great human being but he has to hear it for his coaching shortcomings
How does he go from having nick nurse on the table as a coach to now having doc rivers as w coach who the sixers fired? Giannis is calling too many shots in that franchise to their detriment imo
@@davidjames5448it’s definitely a very long list of errors since getting the chip. Can’t put it all on Griffin, and to only make the measurement sample pre-midseason THEN hire Doc Rivers? Absolute insanity.
Not surprised that another dusty - who hates Black women - especially successful Black women would come through with this same ole tired line. Oh - and lawd forbid anyone tries to hold a Black man accountable for anything.
Doc move is rough but, on the brightside, nobody is talking about how Dame normally starts turning up after the All-Star break. They're this good with him playing mediocre by his standards.
This is an unbelievably stupid move by the bucks let’s walk down memory lane shall we doc Rivers has blown three separate 3-1 series leads and four 3-2 series leads and as head coach he has lost 10 game 7’s. Congratulations Milwaukee the bucks will be up 3-1 or 3-2 in the second round and you’re gonna lose the series
I don't know how Doc is gonna work out in Milwaukee, but I think that a big part of why things have not gone the way the Bucks would like is that they just changed too much too rapidly. And it doesn't seem like this is gonna help in that regard.
Would’ve hired Mark Jackson over Doc Doc has consistently had top tier talent and has only gotten one in 08 and yes Mark Jackson hasn’t won one but he is more deserving
Yeh I mean Mark Jackson had 3 years with the youngest hottest talent in the NBA and failed year after year after year. k.o in playoffs with each year getting worse. There was infighting within his coaching staff, he even fired NBA-winning coach Mike Malone. Jackson did not even know how to run plays...oh what happened as soon as he was fired, championship, 6 finals, and 4 rings. The only thing that could make Doc hiring worse is if they get Mark Jackson as the assistant.
Wait, Nick Nurse was an option? So Philly ditched Doc and got demonstrably better with Nick Nurse, Bucks passed on Nick Nurse and are now hoping to get better with Doc. What a circus.
Doc is a whole pass around at this point 😆 I don’t get this obsession with him by these teams. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 3 times... 🤔 Dude has more lives than a cat 😅
I feel for AG. He tried to put in place a new D scheme compensating for Dame and the players didn't buy in. Now GM Horst trying to cover his tracks for making a mistake trading D for O (Jrue for Dame). This is still not going to make a difference because come Playoff time, teams will be hunting Dame for the mismatch. Another round of why Doc failed to get past the second round!
It’s funny. How can the Milwaukee Bucks management chose Doc Rivers to be their next coach when fact of the matter is Doc is a loser in his all coaching records except one championship with Garnet. Who is beyond this movements?
They've miss their chance on Nick Nurse, fumble the ball by hiring Griffin and now they're putting it on Doc Rivers shoulder to put this team on top of Mount Olympus. It should be Rivers at the start.
The Lillard trade was a mistake. There's no denying Lillard's offensive talent, but team chemistry and defense matters. They should still easily make the second round, but the Bucks aren't winning a title without adding some defensive help. Bruce Brown, maybe? Coaching was not the issue.
I have my reservations but Doc is honestly an upgrade. I agree, right now he's considered a regular season coach. Very similar to Bud with not adjusting when needed but even with Bud the Bucks won a chip. If they make small adjustments to the bench and buy in as a team, they'll be fine. It all boils down to Docs rotations.
Nick nurse was the GUY to get in the off-season. Not AG as a first year coach coaching 2 super stars. Head scratcher from bucks management to begin with by making that choice which has lead to this
He’s going to use offense he used with the sixers pick and roll with dame and Giannis swap out for embiid and harden. It’ll look a lot like the sixers. I actually think he will probably get more pj tucker st the trade deadline and make him a starter again too. What will be interesting to see is how he uses Brock Lopez which is something the sixers didn’t have -two big men
Sometimes it’s da players too bc if u don’t have guys that can play defense u cant scheme a team to play defense they lost Grayson and holiday which were two good perimeter defenders so yea I think griffin was underhanded a lil bit
@@luisquinteros7492yeah because he’s had the players like Giannis and Dame with those 3-1 leads. Giannis and Dame don’t quit like Embid, Harden, PG13 and get often injured like Kawhi.
This is interesting Pretzel Logic at work, here. Tryin' to add rationale to that which doesn't make sense will drive one insane. Dude was a new head coach, on a small market franchise, talent notwithstanding, with a winning record of better than 50%. If Doc' fails to produce a championship what's the Bucks organization gonna say then... "At least Doc' made us feel better."?! 🤨
Could you please stop portraying Woj as some insider roving reporter who gets all the scoops? He's the PR rep for the league...nothing more, nothing less.
Doc Rivers: 10 Game 7 losses in his career and a run that includes five straight. He has also lost nine straight games with a chance to reach the conference finals
I'll be watching for Doc's take on why the Bucks were eliminated from the postseason. Still, I want the best for Doc and Bucks.
What if they win the chip lol. Unlikely but hey, anything can happen
I agree I wish him well I'm just not convinced of the fit with the players and Doc. I hope I'm wrong and he succeeds for sure...
Overrated Rivers
I’ll be here for your opinion 😂
In two years Giannas will be passing up wide open layups.
Bucks made a huge mistake not hiring Nick Nurse. His hypermodern offensive and defensive schemes are ahead of the rest of the league. Giannis and Bucks needed that
nah by time they wanted nick philly already took him
@@sincerelyytrell No they don't, Bucks are the one that stop pursuing nurse because giannis said he wants griffin then nick went to philly
@@jmandan8728Yup. Giannis didn't want Nurse. GM giannis wanted the brother instead.
@@davidjames5448LeGiannis
@jaytorr6701, will you people stop crying, the Bucks and Giannis didn't want Nick Nurse
If you wanna fire Griffin, thats fine. But Doc Rivers ain't the answer. Dude is a choke artist extraordinaire. Another early playoff exit incoming for the bucks this season.

What if choke in the ECF or NBA Finals. Will u give him credit? 😂😂😂
Doc has landed his last two jobs because there hasn’t been anything else on the market. Great hiring practice..
that’s not even true lmao
Coaches with winning records getting fire and Darvin Ham still working 😂😂😂
Says everything right?
@@jaysouthmusic8230facts
Monty is still in Detroit...
@@brandoni241 He JUST got here and signed a really big deal. No way he's getting fired this season
Who would you even want the Lakers to hire? Jamon took the Lakers to the WCF last season…
Doc the Recyclable coach. Different team, same result.
Doc thinking..who cares..im getting paid millions!
Gonna be real epic when Doc blows this next 3-1 lead, this time to his old team the 76ers 😂
Who knows, embiid has trouble with that second round lmaoo
I'll take Giannis over Embiid any day in the playoffs
Gonna be a battle of an immovable object vs an unstoppable force lol
giannis not losing to embiid in the playoffs lol maybe to the celtics or whoever makes it to the conference finals
Or Celtics his old team also the one he led them to the nba title in 2008
Who has been on more teams Chris Paul or Doc Rivers?
It's a tie
Doc rivers has coached so much hall of fame talent. And yet has only one ring. He went from coaching the mvp of the league last year and harden a former mvp and future hall of famer to their rival now with Giannis and Dame
CP3 6 teams as a player. Doc Rivers 5 teams as a Coach
@@pennytrue2741Don’t forget Leonard and George in La da man has had a plethora of talent great human being but he has to hear it for his coaching shortcomings
Oh but Doc won a rin...2008 with a loaded team filled with already established all star players, who later said Doc did nothing. lol
How does he go from having nick nurse on the table as a coach to now having doc rivers as w coach who the sixers fired? Giannis is calling too many shots in that franchise to their detriment imo
How do you know the organization is t making the call? Wasn't it Dame not getting along with the coach. I think he signed off that's it
Nick Nurse was fired also.
giannis isn’t calling the shots he’s addressed this and so has jon horst. pay attention
The decision to fire Bud lookin' real dumb now
Amongst the many bad decisions they’ve made afterwards, dealing Holiday included.
@@kennygerchow8795 Don't forget the draft picks and Grayson Allen too
I say leave the managing to the managers.. giannis mightve messed up his chance like bron did to the lakers couple years ago
@@davidjames5448it’s definitely a very long list of errors since getting the chip. Can’t put it all on Griffin, and to only make the measurement sample pre-midseason THEN hire Doc Rivers? Absolute insanity.
anyone who says Bud should still be coaching the bucks has NO clue about that team or their history. zero.
I want the Bucks to win it all even more now.
Surprised Malika didn’t bring up some fight that doc rivers got involved in when he was school
Facts! Plzzz fire her 🔥🔥🔥
Not surprised that another dusty - who hates Black women - especially successful Black women would come through with this same ole tired line. Oh - and lawd forbid anyone tries to hold a Black man accountable for anything.
Doc Rivers is the greatest finesser of all time
Doc Rivers had this job in the bag since December…he backdoored Adrian Griffin….
Possibly literally…
Mfs be acting like Doc coached the Celtics to 3 rings 😂😂
I know Doc isn't really that great as a coach he lost more than he won
Doc move is rough but, on the brightside, nobody is talking about how Dame normally starts turning up after the All-Star break. They're this good with him playing mediocre by his standards.
Doc rivers is an underachiever with loaded teams
This is an unbelievably stupid move by the bucks let’s walk down memory lane shall we doc Rivers has blown three separate 3-1 series leads and four 3-2 series leads and as head coach he has lost 10 game 7’s. Congratulations Milwaukee the bucks will be up 3-1 or 3-2 in the second round and you’re gonna lose the series

As a Sixers fan I’m happy for Doc to land a new job. Good luck in the future Glen!
As a sixers, heat, celtics fan, I am very happy for the bucks!
@@moogerchee2287every team in the NBA is happy too! Because now they don’t have to worry about Milwaukee being a postseason threat.
2 to 1 odds that the bucks season will end with a 3-1 lead collapse in the playoffs.
I understand doc won a chip , but that was so long ago in a different era almost so this is going to be interesting
One champion with that Boston team is underwhelming.
Would’ve hired Mark Jackson over Doc
Doc has consistently had top tier talent and has only gotten one in 08 and yes Mark Jackson hasn’t won one but he is more deserving
Doc is black 2 lol. Mark jus black argument
🤣🤣🤣🤣 hire 💩 over 💩.
There's nothing like "deserving", he's done so many interviews and never landed a job. And keep your story about being blackballed, that's stale.
Yeh I mean Mark Jackson had 3 years with the youngest hottest talent in the NBA and failed year after year after year. k.o in playoffs with each year getting worse.

Marc Jackson hasn’t coached in a decade😂
I am a Brooklyn Nets fan and I was hoping for the Nets organization to FIRE Jacque and HIRE Doc. The Bucks got lucky over the Nets.
She's right, it's not a baseball program but Chiney always hits it out the park. And I'd like to hit it back in.
Wait, Nick Nurse was an option? So Philly ditched Doc and got demonstrably better with Nick Nurse, Bucks passed on Nick Nurse and are now hoping to get better with Doc. What a circus.
I think it's a great move..at 1st was shocked in middle of season but do agree now
Doc also have experience in chocking in the playoffs numerous times being up 3-1
LOL! So Perk wants Giannis to call KG to better learn how to perform under an underachieving coach?? 😂😂😂
Bad move by my bucks anyone but this guy 🤬
Doc is a whole pass around at this point 😆 I don’t get this obsession with him by these teams. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 3 times... 🤔 Dude has more lives than a cat 😅
Doc must give amazing head…
Mentioning the Knicks and cavs for competition but not the heat is some nasty work
It’s even crazier cuz the Heat are better than both teams
They are both ahead of the Heat in the standings. Heat have lost 3 straight while the Cavs have won 8 in a row.
I would never have thought Giannis as a coach killer, WOW
what does that even mean? You thought that Adrian Griffin was good enough to take the Bucks all the way to the end? Lol!!!
Damian Lillard is the worst PG match for Giannis like make it make sense
😂 casual
I’m so over the stat era
Doc Rivers is the most lucky guy ever
Im sure Bud was available and bud has been the only coach to win a chip for the bucks
when WOJ talks, he always lean forward a little bit.
Maybe that's his secret sauce in getting all these great jobs he doesn't deserve?
an or bouncin around 4 xtra zestiness.
I think they have a real chance at winning it all this year
This is nasty work by doc rivers. Dirty mackin at its finest
And he got upset with Paul George double macking on his daughter 😂
Gone trade for Kyle kuzma
I feel for AG. He tried to put in place a new D scheme compensating for Dame and the players didn't buy in.

There are plenty good coaches available. Why hire Doc Rivers 😂 terrible decision
Bucks need Austin Rivers to backup Dame bro.😂
Bucks hired a scapegoat hahaha
😂😂😂doc better start paying pierce and garnett for that chip. 😂
Happy for Doc Rivers. Glad he got to comment on NBA games courtside but happy he gets to coach again.
🤣🤣🤣.🤡🤡🤡
1st mistake - Not hiring Nick nurse
2nd mistake - Not being patient
I’m just glad Doc won’t be calling games anymore
It’s funny. How can the Milwaukee Bucks management chose Doc Rivers to be their next coach when fact of the matter is Doc is a loser in his all coaching records except one championship with Garnet. Who is beyond this movements?
TNT told us this last night lol
❤middleton off the bench❤
I was literally just watching doc talk about this now he's the coach lol. There has to be some type of tile against this sort of thing or something
As a suns fan I appreciate the bucks poor decision of giving us a consistent high percentage three point shooter in Grayson Allen
Always good to see Wilbon on the show.
They've miss their chance on Nick Nurse, fumble the ball by hiring Griffin and now they're putting it on Doc Rivers shoulder to put this team on top of Mount Olympus. It should be Rivers at the start.
Good luck winning in the playoffs with Doc Rivers as your head coach…this guy’s playoff record has been pretty disappointing smh
We need Rachel Back
I could say what woj said in 3 mins in 3 words 😮🎉

Is he
What I get from he media, is that Giannis not only plays for the Bucks, but he also is the general manager AND the owner of this team!
Sooo Doc Rivers just gets to go ahead and coach teams with all stars ? Make him the coach of the year blazers or pelicans. See what he does with that
This is ridiculous they saying they weren't going to win the way they were but they were already number 2 in the league
Nick nurse was the GUY to get in the off-season. Not AG as a first year coach coaching 2 super stars. Head scratcher from bucks management to begin with by making that choice which has lead to this
2nd round exit for the Bucks.
Perk. “ I’m glad that he brought up that 08 championship ring” I’m sure you’re glad perk I’m sure you’re glad 😂
Doc Rivers is probably gonna come in with that defense mindset for this team because the offense is already established
And blow a 3-1 lead every year until they fire him 😂😂😂
He’s going to use offense he used with the sixers pick and roll with dame and Giannis swap out for embiid and harden. It’ll look a lot like the sixers.

Ok Boomer.😂
Giannis got it wrong.
They need Pat Beverly
Perk giving genuin advise
The Doc Rivers privilege!
Doc is the game seven losses king at 10 as a coach 😅😅. Better gear up for no.11
I would be livid if it ends up being Clips v Bucks in the finals, rematch between Kawhi V Giannis and Docs revenge.
if doc doesnt lead the bucks to the finals, this is the final nail in the coffin for doc rivers
How many superstars will Doc coach in his career and fail time after time after time.. the list continues
Umm... they're winning the title this year.
A lot of people in these comments are casuals💯 Ben quit and Harden quit that’s the reason it wasn’t success in Philly it’s till Bucks in 6
Consider 3-1 lead blown already while playoff is not even started
Welcome to no more rings. Good job Bucks
So Doc Rivers, with a proven record of losing in the playoffs year after year, is the guy that will take the Bucks to the promise land.
Bucks have officially been ELIMINATED from playoff competition
Best news ever..Griffin was appaling as head coach
Bucks need a 3 and D guy
I’m pretty sure we could solve all of the world’s problems if every just had Doc Rivers’ job security.
What type of fur is that that Perk is wearing???
Wt about Mark Jackson
mmmmm i dont know about that move
They’ll get pj tucker. Imo he will end up on the buyout market
Not very optimistic with Doc getting the job
How can Boston still add that team needs to be investigated
Doc Rivers: 10 Game 7 losses in his career and a run that includes five straight. He has also lost nine straight games with a chance to reach the conference finals
Which day will be his first game coaching. Have tix for Friday night :)
