They just wanted to fix their team as soon as possible because if they do it later, they might gonna facing some huge problems with their adjustment and they need to boost their defense also they need a veteran coach like Doc and it should be worth a try if they can further improve their games with stronger defense this time with their new coach. Nevertheless, there are no worthy candidates to fill that position right now for the Bucks, and to make it even worse, they are not the only ones who are looking for a good coach like Doc Rivers because other teams are also considering hiring him as well.

I am a Giannis fan but I don't like what has happened there all of a sudden. Giannis just heard something wrong with what Coach Griffin said against his brother and now, I've seen some articles saying that there's something wrong with his coaching and so him and Damian don't listen to his tactics and instructions. As a franchise player, you'll really gonna be heard by the management. But as an athlete and professional player, is this a right thing to do?

Anyway, it's just pure business for the Bucks and they'll listen to their franchise player whatever the requests are so that their star won't leave the franchise. I'd say good luck to Doc Rivers if he's going to coach this team but he's just answering the call in the times of need and that's fine and he's having a job so any coach that they prefer, they just need someone who's going to replace Griffin as soon as possible and same scenario might occur again in the future.

IIRC, Doc just let James Harden do his thing when they were together. It may not be the best choice for the Bucks but I agree that this is just some welcoming development when they need some changes.

Well, that's probably his next move when things don't go with the way he wants it to be. Was it that there were talks about him wanting to transfer in GSW, right? at some point like less than a year ago. Anyway, I am not expecting to have some good things happening with Bucks with Doc's first games with them and that's normal if they get a few loss but I am not trying to be negative as I want to be.

His records and performances were no doubt at his best and together with Rui Hachimura, both them were loved by the LA fans.

But if the Lakers management doesn't see their worth, they can't do anything with that and a transfer is going to happen no matter what type of love they show for the franchise. That's it in the NBA. 

Yeah, that was like we're the ones talked about it and it was just a rumor or there's some truth on it but we'll never know until it comes from him.

I reckon for that transfer if he's going to find another team then it should be with the Golden State Warriors. But what's funny here is that he's trying to get his brother as well some career attached to his and we'll see if he's like that when his contract expires or he don't sign any extension anymore if there will be some condition that he's only going to go there if they also sign his brother. I dunno but it's just a happy meme that I've noticed with the talks on the socials when the topic is all about him.

And speaking of Steph, did he just mentioned if there is another team that he'd love to play and it's going to be Hornets? Well, that makes sense since his father stayed there for a long time.

That is crappy reasoning from the Bucks management and they hired a coach who specialized in offense so it's not like they did the right thing here.
Anyway, Coach Rivers is known as a veteran so I guess they will rely on his experience to do better than Coach Griffin. Still, I preferred Griffin more because he is young, which might have been a factor in the blooming Giannis.

CBS made an article about the Bucks' change of coach.
Why hiring Doc Rivers is a mistake for the championship-minded Bucks
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/why-hiring-doc-rivers-is-a-mistake-for-the-championship-minded-bucks/
If this team keeps on losing after he was hired, there will surely be a lot of locker room gossips and it won't be good for the team's chemistry.
A failure with tandems. He may have won a championship but when pairing players he ain't so good about it. The Celtics had a trio before which allowed them to win a championship, here in Bucks they have two stars that need to fill a lot of chemistry because they are newly paired. I just hope Coach Rivers has some format on how he could take advantage of these two great players.

That's like a punch to the face. Bucks' management should feel that.

Well, let's just take a look at the statistics and Coach Rivers is very popular with these numbers.

What are the Bucks expecting with their defense after giving away Jrue Holiday? It's kind of mind-boggling.

I believe we were talking about Giannis, not LeBron.  At least I was.  I think Giannis is the most dominant player in the key that today's NBA has and if he were paired with the best shooter the league has ever seen I think they would be nearly unstoppable.  They'd just need a couple other shooters who can play defense to spread the floor and another big man willing to bang with the opposing team's center every night and they'd be a lock for a couple titles in my opinion.

Houston Rockets lost to Portland 131-137 in overtime in a match that ended 124-124 in regular time at home.
Turkish Basketball player Alperen Şengün caught my attention the most.
He is gradually increasing his performance and statistics in the NBA, where he arrived in 2021-2022.
Alperen had good statistics again in the match played last night.
He finished the match with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, but this was not enough to prevent the loss.
If he continues to improve his performance, he will be transferred by other teams in the NBA. It wouldn't be surprising if he plays for the Los Angeles Lakers in the future.

The decision to bring in Coach Doc Rivers has the potential to be a game-changer for the team, particularly in addressing their defensive shortcomings. While the offensive stats demonstrate an impressive performance, ranking 2nd with a 124.6 average per game, the team's Achilles' heel lies in its defense. Doc Rivers, renowned for his coaching prowess, notably led the Celtics to a reputation as a defensive powerhouse in the past the hiring of Rivers reflects a strategic move to shore up the defensive end, drawing on his expertise in cultivating a strong defensive identity for teams. The stats may underline offensive prowess, but a well-rounded team requires a balance between scoring and solid defense for sustained success in the NBA,

However, the intriguing question remains can Doc Rivers maintain the impressive offensive rating, or even enhance it further? Balancing offensive and defensive strategies is a delicate task, and how Rivers navigates this challenge will play a crucial role in the team's overall performance. As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will closely watch the impact of Rivers' coaching philosophy on both ends of the court.


A valuable skill, may not fully capitalize on the potential synergy between Clarkson and Markkanen. Advocating a return to the old strategy, where Clarkson's penetrating ability is harnessed to make him a playmaker, could enhance the team's offensive dynamics. A notable highlight was when Clarkson secured a triple-double, showcasing his capacity to contribute across various facets of the game, the team's success often hinges on effective ball movement, as witnessed in the past. Despite a recent loss to the Pelicans, anticipated given the Jazz's struggle on the road and the Pelicans seeking redemption, the focus is on a resilient comeback. The upcoming game against the struggling Wizards presents an opportunity to reset and showcase their capabilities,

The stark reality of the Jazz's road record, standing at 7 - 17, casts a shadow over their aspirations. Acknowledging this subpar performance on away games is a crucial step towards addressing the team's overall consistency. The upcoming matchups, particularly against struggling teams like the Wizards, become pivotal in reshaping the narrative and steering the Jazz back on the path to success. The record is undeniably a source of frustration for fans, encapsulated in the poignant descriptor, Sad.

They’re pulling out all the stops in order to try and keep Giannis around. I think more people think he’s going to leave when his contract is up than those who think he’ll stay. The Bucks have to do something. They got Dame and now a new coach… They got his brother on the team… They’d probably sign his Mom to the cheerleading staff if he asked.
