Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 5.2.24 

Went from a power house team to a mid team in blink of an eye. Plenty of players to get rid of .

Eliminated in the first round, traded defense for offense, started to win, fired coach, hired coach, eliminated in first round. Rough to be a bucks fan these days.

Not playing Jackson Jr. to match the Pacers hustle was a disgrace, letting TJ McConnel dominate like CP3 off the bench was pathetic.

Doc sounds relieved Lillard and Giannis got injured

the fans care more about this loss than doc...

it's not too late to bring back budenholzer...

Doc looked like he knew all along that they are going to lose.

Never seen a bigger Excuse Maker and Blame Deflecter than this Man (i don’t call this a Coach) !

"i dont know where my thoughts are right now" say less

This dude is not smiling..😂😂😂

I honestly really liked what Doc had to say in this interview. We'll see where the Bucks go from here

Horst has already been rumored to be taking the pistons gm job

Why is DOC all smiles

Bucks need at least 6 better bench players.

As a Celtic fan I hope y’all keep him forever

Doc Rivers is known to lose playoff series from 3-1 lead. He is improved.

Fire him and horst. Come on jimmy do what you do best like you did for the browns. Rebuilt right away.

Doc will be back next year to overplay Giannis into injury again.

BUCKS FANS, KEEP YOUR HEADS UP. We were without Giannis and and a badly injured Dame. Congrats to the Pacers. With that being said… Fire Jon Horst. I was never one of the ones who wanted AG fired. First time coach who actually played the young guys on our team and got some good production out of them. If AG was coaching he would NOT have played Giannis those final stretch of games. He would have challenged Giannis to sit out. Giannis was overworking way too hard. Doc Rivers before the Giannis soleus strain…“Health is not a concern”, “Shouldn’t have played Giannis, he just didn’t look right” next thing gets injured against the Celtics. This is ultimately on Jon Horst he pulled the trigger, he needs to be fired. 6 BENCH POINTS going into the final minutes of the 4th Quarter. We need an athletic big or a big time rebounder at the 5 and a LEGIT wing defender this off-season. We need to move on from Brook, Pat C, Beasley and Crowder. But ultimately Jon Horst needs to be fired, he’s the sole reason PJ Tucker did not resign and traded away Donte DiVincenzo which was detrimental. #FireJonHorst

"their speed" why not play Ajax sooner then? Pain bruh. He doesn't seem sad about the loss at all

Look how happy he looks. He is having a lot of excuses again this time.

How many times did doc say umm

We gambled and went all in banking on a chip with a veteran lineup and a rookie head coach. Didn't work out because Griffen didn't have what it takes, and we're old, couldn't keep pace with the young running teams.Tried to salvage it with Doc and injuries killed any chance. Its going to be an interesting off season.

Griffin sippin on that Yac laughing at the BUCKS organization!😂

Doc stop making excuses please. Dame played three games. All your players are mostly Vet. Pacers have bunches of non experienced players. Doc is a lazy coach who doesn’t implement new concepts. Injuries will always happen when you choose not to play youngsters but play your Vets heavy minutes.

He makes darvin ham look like Phil Jackson

To me sounds like Doc trying to keep his job

You are not a good coach.. He speaks as though he is coming back.. but he truly needs to be fired... Always praising opponents, and then giving excuses ...

DOC RIVERS SHOULDNT HAVE A JOB

Good job Bucks! We had too many ups and downs, inconsistencies, old players, and switches of coaches this year. I knew this wasn't going to be our year. Too much adjustments needed & not enough time. Next year I expect a healthy team, young players, & a new system. Thank you for putting up a fight until the end!💚 On to a new season 2024-25.

It’s not docs fault, not a full season, no long wing defenders, injuries to GA & Dame & one legged Middleton. It’s no excuse but it’s no way the bucks win this from the go with the injuries

Giannis, please keep yo mouth shut this offseason and comeback healthy next year

He made some mistakes and that’s facts. You can’t take away the fact his players were lazy and old. Just wasn’t hungry for rebounds and success

If Lillard wanted to get eliminated in the first round, he could have just stayed with Portland...lol

Im sure Giannis won't be with us next season

WHYS DOC SMILING ON THE THUMBNAIL??

Play beauchamp at the back up shooting guard. Get rid of caounnaton get rid of beasily. Bring some size in at the 2 that can guard.

We need to bring Patrick Beverly back. We got some young pieces that we can work with next year. I think we got the 24th pick in the draft. If not the 25th pic we can get some a decent clear. I'm not even mad at this season. I'm happy we got doc Rivers. We'll get to it next year

I knew this wasn't going to be their year. You fired a coach in bud who won a chip two years ago. You trade holiday when the toughest position to guard is the point. No matter what dame is offensively, he aint making that up. Then you hire a first-time coach that nobody on the team liked and fire him and get a coach that has lost with every great team he had. Now you stuck paying 3 coaches and two stars. Coaches 40mil and stars 50mil smh and its time for gainnis big brother to just be a coach helping out he cant man wasting a spot

the fact that he's smiling on this thumbnail is disgusting

He doesn't get it. How are you going to play no defense Beasley and not play AJJ?

when you get a $40 contract regardless of you record, of course you would smile too

Sack this happy fool. I thought, I thought, I thought. In all this I blame Giannis for leaving his role as a basketballer to bucks board member deciding who stays or who is fired

You had every opportunity to change your rotation. But you lost to my PACERS.

not sure how you going to fix aging team with no cap flexibility. the bucks will have to trade Khris or Brook to get better depth and more youth to play with Giannis and Dame... PC, BEASLEY AND JAE should had played there last games with the bucks...

Will he be back?

Why do his teams always lose in recent years? Clippers? 76ers? Now Bucks?

THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS NEED TO FIRE DOC RIVERS!!!!!!!!!!

It wasn't about the pacers being younger. Your team has been injured for key parts of the season. There was turmoil across the board with the trade, coaching changes, and little continuity to build something during the season. Then two Dudes being injured for Round 1 - that is why you lost to the Pacers.

Marcus smart with Khris, Brook, Giannis, Dame and Bobby 🔥🔥🔥 or even Dejante Murray

Please fire Doc and bring in a real coach. Doc is the most overrated coach in NBA history. Almost any NBA coach could have won the NBA title in 2008 with that stacked Celtics roster full of hall of famers. Now doc has all kinds of excuses to use why the bucks under achieved 😂

INDY MY second city🔥🔥with their injuries-IF we had Matherin playing we would have won in either 4 or 5. Dame missed two games🤷‍♂️could be healthier but oh well. So you could sort offf say only player they were missing was Giannis🤷‍♂️

Lets restart next season healthy and really hone in on the chemistry with our core 3. They played less than 10 games together all season...

The most overrated, over celebrated coach in the history of basketball. He’s the true definition of mediocre. It’s amazing that she keeps getting jobs. They’re gonna blame injuries but Buck fans don’t expect better next season

Shouldn't have been hired, needs to be fired. JJ was right.

You don't kwo how to use your team

Fire him

worst coach of all time

He annoys me this coach he brings nothing at all must make changes on inside and take good defenders Giannis two years in a row you hurt yourself at the same time you worry me and I lose hope

A coach that got slaughter and still have a smile on his face man respect good thing not a buck fan

Go sign Mack Jackson

2:37: The guy is delusional. He thinks he did something historic by winning one game without its two best scorers.

Is he fired?

We win gm1 the league sends Tony Brothers to ensure we lose the next gm. We make history with a gm5 win & the league sends Tony Brothers again. Tony Brothers has been officiating western conference games only thus far with the exception of making sure the Bucks loss those games. 💯

Go fire doc rivers

Ok obviously doc is bad, but griffin was still worst, we wouldn’t have made it far with his defense. casuals gonna blame doc, but in reality the bench did not show up and a lot of “depth” players we rely on didn’t help our already injured stars, pc, Beasley, Lopez, and crowder are just taking up roster spots and gotta be replaced, guys like marjon and Ajax need more minutes, give it time and manage the big 3s health better and then defense and offense will get better

RDCWORLD GEARING UP LMAO

Fire DOC!!!!! Giannis is gone lol 😂 🤣

Is Doc, and Lebron related? EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES. Everytime they lose.

master of excuses, direct and indirect

Docs voice is so annoying

I want to throw up in my mouth, Doc. I don't understand why you didn't make adjustments that were clearly working with Jackson Jr. And even AJ Green. You flat out needed to jam up their offensive flow with your defense to have a chance.

Great Season Thanks Everybody.

Oh well Doc, you tried. Way too many injuries this year. That'll hurt any team. Better luck next year. It is what it is

Rebuild before you loose the draft picks and values of your superstars.. I am sure the warriors will want to lay their hands on Giannis ... Doc should be fired.. or coach in college or G-league...

bucks. are not going to do anything but come back with the same garbage next year. as long as the bucks fan continue to buy tickets. it's only going to get worst.

Doc got paid anyways he doesnt gaf. He has his built in excuses this time so hes good.

Bye bye

Trade brook

Jc Pacers played like crap.the series was there for the taking. Pacers ain't special. Bux just out played out coached. Every phase.

Fire doc rivers I am so angry you guys lost

What a disaster…we should have kept coach bud… last three years we have had key players injured. Coach Bud lost his brother and still coached … for the two clowns we hired with Griffin and Doc . Might as well stick with coach Bud

Doc What an Awful mistake hiring this guy.I didn't know he was.One of those coaches who didn't like young players He said they're speed.Got the bucks tonight, but you have a couple young guys on your bench.You could have lost with them in the game instead of the old veterans buck's had nothing left in the tank.the Bucks have to get a couple of big guys that can actually move out there and can rebound and play defense. Love you, Bobby, but you're our trade, Bate. I would love the guy from the pelican's murphy I knew we were in trouble when I heard doc say I have to give Pat C his confidence back.Are you serious Don't know how they're gonna do it, but they must get younger.Doc said he really loves this team.You can't be serious We must get younger And giannis must stay healthy Buck's have been snake bitten since the 2021 championship

Everybody always making excuses for Dame

Fire Horst. Keep Beasley and Green off the bench. Crowder, Connaughton, Gallinari even Portis all touchable even though I want Portis to stay the most out of mentioned. Trade Beverly while he has value for another shot creator/defender. Hopefully of better stature and athletic ability. Faster, younger, more athletic next season. WE already have long wings they need playing time next season. Draft a center that step in for Lopez if he goes down or we choose to load manage him, he is getting up there 😢

Bucks is wasting Giannis career continue to hired has been coaching and old players. Buck organization need to rebuild the right way or it be another 50 years of winning another championship. The Pacers refs was the reason the Pacers won but Bucks need to rebuild young players around Giannis . Doc is old and new to retire

Once again 🤦🏽 a failure

Doc did a great job this post season considering all the injuries we had and deserves alot of credit. Wished he played the young guys like AJAX and Aj more over someone like gallo but overall did a good job. Come back stronger next year with new pieces and gain chemistry between giannis and Dame 💪gonna need to get younger and more athletic

Ill say it again. We were lucky we played the Suns in the 21’ finals. Bucks need to do some serious management. Send Thanasis and inactives to the G league too

No please trade brook asap

Bucks fans Haliburton owns you he always has and he always will healthy or not 😂😂😂 knocked you out twice

Next year buckswin chip no injuries😊

I certainly didn't think Giannis would be out throughout playoffs

They'll have a proper offseason this time. No issues, distractions, retool ans regroup

Gotta love doc man

Bring a young Center in this summer to pair with Giannis

DAM AND GIANIS REMIND ME OF LUKA KAYRIE LAST SESON

Bobby and khris were a disappointment tonight.Get rid of pc,beasley,crowder,gilinari even pat bev they are all trash time to completely reform this team

FIRE. HIM. NOW.

부회장급 장년말기시대에 올랜도 매직에서 사령탑을 소화하고 보스턴 셀틱스서 통산 17번째 우승을 거머쥐고 난후 LA클리퍼스와 필라델피아 76ERS서 플레이오프 진출을 거머쥐었지만 결승진출에 실패했고 애석스럽습니다만 (버든홀저감독과 그리핀감독, 프런티감독대행후계로)밀워키의 우승을 위해서 재능을 갖출 수 있었던 리버스감독이 1회전문턱서 탈락하고 경질계획도 불가피한데 미들턴과 안테토쿤포가 부진해진 팀을 추스르기 위해서 재계약여부와 젊은 감독교체에 필요한 처방도 최선의 숙제일 겁니다!
