Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 04.03.24



Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 04.03.24

Uh we talked a little bit about the points in the pain last night I think they outscore you 76 crushes just what do you see tonight just dribble drives you know a lot of one-on-one uh attacking us you know listen honestly I thought our guards played hard um you

Know I thought Memphis waited but once they start pressuring our guards uh Pat H then not trying to give them breaks rest uh but we got beat off the dribble a ton and that just by a regards The Bigs as well jiren Jackson turned the whole game around just a lot of those

Times ends up being Brooke is the one that’s around it yeah what do you see from him trying to I guess hold up and yeah we want him to absorb hits better you know they’re going through him and they have to because he’s a shot blocker

I mean that’s what they should do um but with the way the the league is calling it you can hold up people not meaning I mean you can hold your ground they not going to call that anymore uh we’ve talked to them about it and that’s what

We has to improve because they have learned with Brooke if you don’t do that he’ll block your shot so if you go through his chest you know you can gain ground and our big he just got to take the hit and he can so I I don’t I’m not

Worried about it I think he’ll be able to do that I think J was 414 in the first half 23 overall just what do you see from I thought jiannis did everything he could uh honestly and I’m not kidding I I I there are times in the

Beginning of the middle of the third I I talked to Scott three different times like I wanted to take him out of the game um um I thought he was running on fumes um you know as a coach you got to make a judgment call sometimes and and

Medical makes the call more you know they kept saying he’s okay but I have eyes and I just didn’t like the way he was moving and uh yeah that’s why I took him out to one time early um he kept asking to go back in the trainer said he’s fine

So he kind of stuck there uh but I if I wish I had just said no honestly Jared Jackson had 35 just what makes him such a tough cover uh makes the three takes you off the dribble great left hand he goes left uh most of the time that was only disappointing

Part about it like you know we said no left no left no left and obviously that’s hard to do with a really good player but he’s played as well in this stretch that I’ve seen him maybe play in his career offensively he’s always been a great defender uh but he’s playing really well

Offensively right now I know you guys haven’t been whole but any themes or anything that stands out for you in these last two games losses that no last night I thought we shot the hell out of the didn’t we we we moved the ball played great offensively uh the only

Thing over the last two games is the paint points that we have to eliminate just too too many drives uh direct line drives and it’s it’s the old thing uh do we have them if our feet are fast enough or if our help is quick quick enough in

The last two games neither one has been very good um doc just to clarify um you mentioned Yannis and talking to the trainers he was kind of reaching for that hamstring yeah I don’t think it’s hamstring I don’t know but again I saw the same thing you saw I don’t know what

He was reaching for I don’t I didn’t like it I just didn’t like it and in a game when you have Dame out and uh and Chris out and you played last night like I I was my gut was saying all right let’s shut this thing down tonight

And you know get ready for our next game but it’s too late now just I guess what what did you just because talking to them that everyone said he’s good uh you H said he was good after the game so uh it was just visible what you saw so you know I’m protective

In that way for right now unless we have what eight games seven games we want to be right and healthy and and that’s more important than than winning and losing right now

Doc Rivers talks to the media following Wednesday nights loss to the Grizzlies.

    6 games before the playoffs start and yall worried like this lol. Only thing I don’t like is them not putting in at least half the effort yeahh its the end of the reg season but putting in some effort to warm up for playoffs would be good

  6. @raingirlcat2245

    Bucks are an outstanding team normally. However, I’m disappointed that they got beaten by two trash teams, however, it’s NOT the end of the world. They’ll catch up to the Celtics, and maybe even beat them. You may start to disbelieve in them, but that’s just vacuous thinking. Don’t lose faith yet.

  10. @jayleon89

    Apparently everyone doesn't realize they could careless about season games, it's point blank in front of yall.

  15. @ThelmaLlanillo

    The Milwaukee Bucks losing to the Grizz & the Wizards in back to back games is peak Doc Rivers 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    Sacramento Kings Fan here from Sacramento, but for some reason I care more about doc rivers post game interviews than my own team. Adrian Griffin shaking his mf head right now

  24. @joetowne9049

    Who cares about regular season especially when people aren't playing lol. Bunch of babies on this chat always crying about losing. Every team fucking loses get over it.

  28. @georgedebreczeni6779

    This guys looks super uncomfortable any time I see him on camera especially in this conference I wouldn’t trust this man’s character or his judgement

  29. @georgedebreczeni6779

    I think Doc Rivers is fried dough and all done in the NBA buddy working with the NBA only reason he got a job for now at-least until I get him fired

  31. @georgedebreczeni6779

    I would say somebody gonna have to take the blame I got my own personal investigation under way with the NBA it’s teams and insider trading partners

  34. @tajonmitchel1712

    I blame this on Giannis. They gave him too much power. I believe he’s the one calling the shots to fire coach trade players etc. when you give too much power to one person, there’s no one to hold him accountable. When you lose you just say, move this, do that, and longer point the finger at yourself.

  35. @quikkids

    Worst coach in history bucks not serious enough the never should’ve fired bud you don’t mess with a championship coach like that

  36. @Protect_wildlife

    I’ve never hated a coach as much as Doc. He doesn’t play the young guys then humiliates Ajax with that damn dry erase board. He pissed off dame by taking him out in Crunch time. No one likes doc and he sucks at coaching

  37. @user-mz6bf4ht7d

    if he don’t play those 2 young boys on the bench they will lose in first round his team is slow no athleticism but Giannis the 2 guard beasley not the answer they old and slow Middleton is slow. Bobby Portis is slow. Pat Conan is slow.and doc rivers is slow they will be bounce in first round

  38. @tasos0140

    The bad scenario is that the Backs are losing on purpose, in order to keep the 3rd place at close range, so they can avoid the Heat if possible.
    The worst scenario is that they did not lose on purpose.

  39. @Jbb6782

    Nothing he said made any sense at all. This man is feeding everyone ‘word salad’ for dinner, every night. What a terrible coach. And, if he was a good person, he’d just step aside. But he won’t. Greed is a virus.

  41. @christophertanikie856

    Not fan of your arrival with us frankly the players especially my favorite player Giannis Antetokoumnpo wanted a change the results are worse than with Adrian griffin
