There are at least 3 troll accounts that keep blindly defending Doc Rivers: @orionsimerl6539 @gotaplanstan @MeBihhhh. @MeBihhh even dared putting doc on the same level as Phil Jackson and Popovich and they said he is better than Bud/Griffin and Doc is choking just because he has been coaching chokers. Stop disgusting excuses. I hope those 3 ids actually get paid out of Rivers' 40M contracts – if they sincerely defend this clueless coach who has more playoff losses than wins and hasnt even passed the second round since leaving BOS (more than a decade ago), they are as cancerous and delusional as Horst. They are not fans and worse than haters.
He’s had the time and help from staff to play the very best players . Instead of,, he rolls with an old lineup and blames a week off , kuz not getting the balll , TP IS throwing bricks and etc etc . 30 years of this and he likes Tyrese and his bball brain ????? FFS ! It’s not time to put out the weakest links , get Kjp out there , you do the right thing doc , you have. Staff , DAME, & 30 yrs . Don’t reflect on Tyrese, coach , act , repeat . Or go back to the golf course . Shameful . The team doesn’t suck , your opponents aren’t geniuses , look at who you have, and coach . Lame
blame game and admiring you OPPONENTS ON THEIR HONE COURT IS STUpid .
But I digress …..
opponents is not a look for a 30 yr coach . What would Gregg Popp do ? Time to man up and accept YOUR ROLE, you get a lot of money for excuses and floundering .
Literally 0 win against BOS CLE NYK this season and some bucks "fans" were defending this guy.
Has a coach ever been fired during the playoffs? We don’t stand a chance with Doc
Don't worry guys, he'll finally play our best lineups when we get down by 20 😂😂😂
at this point, it seems more logical to think he's TRYING to lose and have another early playoff exit (he hasn't passed even a second round anyway after leaving BOS more than 10 years ago) so that he can spend about $10M/yr he gets from the Bucks organization.
NO EXCUSES COACH
Doc win this
Second unit brought us back into the game. Time to bench Lopez, prince and especially kuzma. Doc a.k.a captain hindsight
Doc had 5 days to prepare…
START KPJ
DOC RIVERS HAS HORRIBLE LINEUP CHOICES SMH
EVERYONE KNOWS KPJ & GIANNIS NEED TO START MAN THEY GOT GREAT CHEMISTRY!!!! & KYLE NEEDS TO SCORE
Doc has 5 days to prep. When you have this many days and play your best lineup in the 2nd half….what does this mean……You need to retire you don't look like you are 65….you look 78 just like DT……go home
Yea play your bench, and see if Indiana’s bench can’t blow you out too
FIRE
FIRE DOC RIVERS
The most overrated coach in the history of basketball
Doc stop making excuses for kuzma .. he played terrible
i have no idea how he's on any greatest coaches lists. he's won one title with a team that could have been coached by Yosemite Sam and they would have won a title. he can't adjust at all.
He did what the NBA and Vegas told him to do. Bench Porter, Green, and Trent in the second quarter for Rollins, Kuzma, and Prince. Pacers went up by 20 points. Lineup of Giannis, Porter, Green, and Trent #1 offensive net rating since the All-Star break, and he benched them. Not a coincidence. These reporters didn't hold him accountable with their questions or rebuttals. We have too much at stake, can't continue to lose in the first round with a generational talent like Giannis. I'd rather see Giannis leave than continue to see unexpected exits.
Vegas and the NBA. Real fans who watch the game can tell the sport has been tarnished with sports betting. Bucks were +185 on the moneyline. Millions betted for them to win, and Vegas made the call. Rivers did as instructed by benching Porter Green and Trent for 8 to 9 mins of the second quarter, and mysteriously Indiana went up by 20 points easily. As a fan I'm ashamed to see the authenticity and excitement of the game I love significantly controlled by online gambling. I hate that states allowed it.
"We were off a week." Tries to blame the time off, and plans to change nothing. Please relieve this clown of his duties immediately.
Thanks for honing up to it, go bucks!!! But please, don’t depend on our shooting, make wise timeouts more, Carlisle was on it today
Nembhard eating lopez alive. No one contests the Pacers 3, CLOSE IT OUT AND PLAY DEFENSE
As the great philisopher said: "Oh well, whatever, nevermind"…
Doc loves making excuses for players at least with Coach Bud if you wasn’t playing well he would bench you but Doc still thinks Kuz and Prince should be starters he’s a coach that’s stuck in the past
is he coaching to win?🤔
i would start with giannis KPj GTJ well dame if he is good to go and Bobby
This guy is done in fact 10 yrs ago when he took the griffin paul clippers down with him. And he will nevr accept resp too. No idea what the bucks expecting from him bringing him back. He is just too rigid n orthodox to be a coach in today’s league. I mean learn from coaches like udoka mazulla carlyle kidd who read the game n make their plan. They r ready to play anyone anyway to exploit the matchups n make their team win. This man just doesnt want to adapt. He so arrogant he answers before even the reporter finishes the ques 😄
We think you’re awful Doc. There was 0 prep for this game. Starting and running with the lineup of Ryan Rollins, prince, kuzma and Brook with Giannis? Did you look at brooks stats the last 15 games? Hopefully docs capable of making adjustments. It’s clear who should be playing more minutes

REALISTIC OPINION. STARTING 5 NEXT GAME PG PORTER, SG DAME,TREND,GIANNIS ,LOPEZ
Uh oh here goes doc failing the team again, 😂 but really I don’t know, it did seem like they were just running a 5 on 5, like it was NO organization or True play calling, like he just let them play, which would actually be TERRIBLE coaching, but that’s doc for you, he seems not too coaching savvy, more like just a voice to try an bring the players together which doesn’t win championships.😢
Fire Doc
He’s an awful coach
rip van winkle rivers and sleepy staff need to make adjustments, not hope what works yesterday is good enough
Doc needs to go
Brook is USELESS in this series
Doc has issues. We have 5 guys who really play well together. Please make THEM the focus and the primary lineup rather than the struggling starting 5,
It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize kuzma should be coming off the bench. From that role he has more freedom to play his way and less catch and shoot. Why are we putting kuzma into catch and shoot scenarios so much?????
Bucks executives should fire this coach asap before its too late… base on his history, he has no brain at all in basketball.
We cannot win with this coach, somebody please fire this guy, when we still have time…
This guy is mentally ill
🤡🤡🤡
Everyone loves Giannis at point when he has 10+ assists, but when he plays like that he’s terrible at PG. He played like he was trying to win the game himself. Sure his box score looks great, but it’s hard to play well when you don’t touch the ball.
If he don't play Pat connaughton …. I'ma be done taken up for him….
I better not see this moron have the same game plan today.
