Idk I feel like everyone who watches the NBA is well aware of how good he's been. He's gonna finish top 5 in MVP again. I think what's been overshadowed is how Dame's presence positively affects his teammates on offense. The focus has been on Dame's shooting struggles, the defense, and the lack of chemistry on Dame/Giannis PnR,, but a big reason why Giannis is shooting 62% is because of Lillard. The extra space allows him to get to the rim more easily and defenses can't load up in quite the same way with Dame and Beasley out there. And to his credit Giannis is taking advantage. He's settling less than he has since at least his first MVP season, he's playing off his teammates more, and his short mid-range game is better.

Yup, exactly. They're improved a lot. Not saying Griffin was bad, but Doc just has more experience, and he definitely knows what he's doing.

This is the value of a player coach. I remember when RJ and Channing Frye were asked about who the best coaches they've ever played for in the NBA and the first thing both of them said was it depends on the coaching style. Most fans don't realize that coaches aren't just x and o's guys, some coaches are really good at developing young players (Kenny Atkinson in Brooklyn), some are great at getting the most out of their players (Ty Lue), and some are players coaches like Doc. It probably is more of a mental thing for the bucks, a sense of clarity, that has improved them along with potential schematic changes.

Nice point of view how the Bucks lacks quality drives to the basket. Actually that is the thing that I noticed to their game when Dame came to the team.

Bro Doc plays a lot more drop defense than Griffin who tried implementing a bit of a Raptors type blitz defense. You literally said that they were doing drop against the Heat, which is what the personnel preferred versus the blitz Griffin defense. Doc is akin to Bud; he is going to fix the regular season woes and play the correct defense with the personnel, but in the playoffs it will be more based on the players as there won’t be many smart adjustments like Spoel would make. But, with Dame this should be better

More and more lately I have been feeling bad for Doc because the construction of this team simply doesn't work and it stems back to trade of Jrue. However impossible, they needed to move Middleton not Holiday and I imagine that was why the Bucks seemingly out of nowhere after months of Heat intrigue and acquired Lillard. In the end Giannis' impatience and flexing might have resulted in the Bucks never getting to the finals because the way this team is currently constructed just doesn't match-up against the Celtics (who are somehow both younger and more experienced).

Here’s a question for you guys, as I struggle with it often: How can you tell if it’s guys not being able to do things vs the coach’s gameplan dictating that they shouldn’t? So for example you’re saying the guys around Giannis and Dame don’t attack the basket so closing out shuts down any interior offence. How much of that is because the roster can’t penetrate and how much of that is because the gameplan is that the lanes should always be clear for Dame and Giannis so no one should be stepping inside, even if it’s within their skillset?

This is starting to look like that an older team that busted their nut last year in the regular season last year only to go nowhere, and was coasting this year on until the all star break. But we'll see, it's all noise until the playoffs.

The point about the Bucks not having enough drivers is a good one. Players like Beasley should be driving more with all the attention on Dame and Giannis.

The past few games have been going well. Their defense has gotten better so there is some level of optimism.

The driving point is a great one, Grayson Allen was an underrated loss for them

Can h make a breakdown of the pacers?

The thing that's most hateable about Doc is that he talks to the media like he sits where I do for NBA games. As in, 2nd deck, cheap seats, maybe once every few years if I'm lucky. "Man, I don't know why we're playing this defense" and "I don't get this front office move" and "______ player isn't pulling his weight" hits DIFFERENT when it's the COACH. Like, YOU WERE THERE. YOU WERE THE ONE making that coaching call or in charge of coaching that player! Don't talk like you weren't involved!

While Doc most likely is not gonna lead the Bucks to a Championchip, neither was Griffin and whoever claims that the coachingchange was a mistake must be blind or not watching. Because it is not even about thinking Doc is a good coach, it is about realizing how terrible Griffin was and that it was unavoidable to fire him. Not only did he lose the team personally, but on the field he just had them do stupid stuff like Dame and Beasley crash the offensive glas, play a high pressure defenese without having a POA defender, have Brook and Bobby pick up guys way outside the threepoint line. All Doc has done so far is revert back to what worked under Bud and thats where they are getting back to as even the stats prove. He went back from all the things I mentioned above, that might make you win regular season games with scores of 130 to 123 versus the Bulls, but there was no basis for any successfull Playoffgames and no chemisty at all. Nobody expects Doc to develop some magic and make them unbeatable, but if he just gets them back to the basics that worked for them, thats fine. While it will be frustrating, if he really blows a 3-1 lead in the second round, thats further than Adrian Griffin would have ever gotten this team. The progress might be meaningless to the overall league and general fans since most of them only care about RINGZZZ, but to most Bucks supporters it actually means a lot going from the certainty that you will fail in an ugly way and implode to probably still failing, but in a less ugly way und maybe only in the second round. It was addition by subtraction, because no matter what you think of Doc, he couldn't be worse or as bad as Griffin was and he has proven that so far, even if he is not flawless, didn't fix everything, still makes mistakes, communicates terribly and most likely won't bring a ring.

Wasn't that the point of Adrian Griffin at the beginning of the Season: that, latest come playoff-time, this drop-coverage would not get them anywhere, and he was trying to change it into something more modern and most of the team said, nag, we're not having it, and Griffin was to inexperienced and folded immediately,, so they regressed immediately. And what I Rivers doing except letting the boys play?

The coaching change was more than likely due to personal reasons. The Bucks actual on court weaknesses come down to roster personnel

Doc been doing great lately

Did they even watch the games after the ASB?

Teams should really move away from drop coverage and start icing or hedging picks more, almost all nba players have a respectable shot nowadays

You guys are being super disingenuous and using just one specific game against Miami which was a back to back and they had some back sliding on the defensive improvements they had made before. The screen navigation is better, the switching execution has improved, they're more physical, the scheme is similar to what they did under Bud and what Griffin wanted, except Doc explained everyone's roles in the defense more clearly so their execution of that scheme has been better with a few games being examples of not performing well on the night and slipping back to what they used to look like more often. Also they aren't crashing the glass offensively as much anymore in favor of getting back on defense. They are getting matched up much better in transition and so forth. The change has worked out. Also obviously the scheme wasn't going to change dramatically because Doc has explained that he didn't want to overwhelm guys in the middle of the season with a bunch of new terminology that would start making them think when playing defense rather than reacting instinctually. Also considering that they didn't have many practices left to try implement new schemes, it only further convinced him that he shouldn't overdue trying to make adjustments. Great reasons that make a lot of sense. The off season is where they can try to implement new things. Also they've used even more trapping and switching into their defense which were things Griffen wanted to do but wasn't a good enough coach to explain how to execute it properly with the players. Doc has done a better job of getting them on the same page. You're using the Miami game because it's an example of a night where they just didn't execute as well with screen navigation so when they finally did adjust, Miami was already hot and so they started hitting tough jumpshots that they might not normally make. Also Bam does a ton of moving screens. Since then they've been even more aggressive with their contests and screen navigation, deflections, etc. and the defense has improved a lot as a result. The idea that NO changes have occured is outright dishonest. Their point of attack defense inproved. Malik is better at navigating screens, he's more physical while not fouling, and his effort has thrown people out of rhythm even if the play doesn't look perfect and he's forced to recover. Dame is also just putting more effort and has improved at screen navigation and using physicality to disrupt guys, keeping the ball in front of him, etc. The offense and defense are both still developing but they have made improvements. Since the all-star break they have also begun to drive and cut more often, rather than just spotting up all the time. That bad habit does rear it's ugly head up at times, with iso ball happening too often, Bobby posting up when he shouldn't, Brook taking an ill advised threes, etc. However, it's not as disastrous as it used to be. I'll acknowledge that this video seemed to be recorded before all star break though so I'll give you a pass on that.

I agree with the hot take where it's the same thing, but what is the point in having a coach with 20 years of experience when a guy who's first job it is does as well just for more money

Sample size. What they've done last 3 games looks different. Keeping teams to under 25 points a quarter in 6 of the last 12. They have pride in defense.

Turns out Jrue Holiday was a pretty important part of their team. He made everything a little bit easier on Lopez and on offense while he’s nowhere near Dame, he wasn’t horrible.

Maybe its foolsgold but they have looked SIGNIFICANTLY better since the All-star break especially defensively. Maybe its pat beverelys influence. Maybe its Doc idk but both schematically and effort wise they're playing their arses off on defense

Yes

Cody is in the same sauna as Derek form More Plates More Dates

I feel that Dame and Giannis need to get other guys more involved in the offense. Middleton needs to average about 20 a game along with Dame and Giannis. A lot of times it seems like guys are just standing around watching Giannis and Dame. Everyone on that team needs to step up and show a greater sense of urgency. Dame has got to work on his play making skills to get others more involved. He still would rather do everything himself like in Portland.

Great video. We'll see what happens in june 😄 i guess. Better not call them a superteam then.

Since Doc Rivers took over, the Bucks defense ranks: - 5th in NBA in defensive rating - 4th in NBA in opponent pts in the paint - 2nd in NBA in opponent fast break pts - 1st in NBA in opponent FG They ranked in the bottom half in all these before Doc took over... STOP THE CAP! The offense fell off MOSTLY due to players missing time. Brook with birth of his child, Middleton ankle injury (been out for almost a month now), Dame bum ankle as well.

Doc ain't gonna fix that. But it's also roster: their D was elite with Jrue. Dame is a matador defender. Plus, Lopez and Middleton are simply that much older. Their window closed. Coach ain't going to change that.

We all know the bucks have an inherently flawed roster. But the recent conversation about Doc is how he won’t make the team any better. The best he can do is par in the regular season, and WE KNOW who doc is in the post season. Why hire him?

If you think the plus is negligible then wouldn't you rather the new guy who has potential to get better?

Seems like the bucks could have used a guard like Clarkson who can drive,dish and shoot. I wonder why they settled for Beasley, as much of a good shooter that he is, he is just bad in defense, and this is a guy that can't drive.

bruv you gotta get some wall art!

a doc rivers fathead, and maybe a replica Mona Lisa, would really tie the room together, lemme tell ya

That wasn't a hot take that was a bad take. "The Bucks are the same" did we forget wins as a stat here? You can't say its not a coaching problem and then outline a whole bunch of things that could be improved with coaching. I was hoping for some insight on what Doc is doing to try and alleviate these issues but he's not. They could have brought in somebody who would at least try, therefore Doc is the problem. Analysis on the rim attacking was interesting to hear. Was this an issue when they won the chip?

Without Giannis having an all-time historical season this year, this bucks team is a playin team at best.

If you cant tell the difference between pre and post doc then you haven't been watching

The bucks should be hoping and praying that they don't run into Denver in the finals this season, they have so many weaknesses in their defensive scheme that Jokic would absolutely dismantle in a drawn out series. Gotta feel for Giannis

112-95, y'all had 3 days in between games, and full roster. Explain how they have flaws in their defensive scheme when y'all only scored 95 on us? they've gone 4 consecutive games allowing under 100 points, not sure how that equals bad defense.

He has. You need to watch old Celtics vids or podcasts positively talking about doc. Haters like to pile up and make it look like he doesn’t know shit.

I'd be disappointed if 6ers vs bucks doesn't happen in the second round.

Doesn't it say it all that there is literally no difference between a rookie coach and one with years of experience? Isn't that the problem with Doc Rivers forever? That he's an average to below average coach on every team he's been on when his teams are always playing for championships

Probably a mistake to let go of Budenholzer. It's important to not panic.

Nowadays players need to be so versatile, they need to cut, slash, shoot, be a rim threat, play D, rebound. Having specialists will be less and less of a thing.

Doc is the first man to claim to have made a super strong Shemanesque statement but somehow has the job

I agree they should

Griffin doesn't have the record for blowing 3-1 leads.

As a Raptors fan the Bucks had their shot at Nick Nurse and they blew it. He would have created a much better offense than Adrian Griffin or Doc Rivers.

Bucks fans coping as usual. The reason the Bucks are significantly better on defense statistically is because the teams they’ve been playing are not great offenses or miss players. Of the 15 games only a handful are actually good offenses like the Nuggets, Suns, Mavs (w/o) Kyrie. It’s also inflated because they played teams like Grizzlies, Blazers, Hornets 2x, 76ers without Embiid. They struggled against teams who can actually spread the floor

Has Doc ever been a good coach? Genuine question. Always felt like the 6ers under him had tons of talent but no real scheme to make use of it..

Um how is it Doc’s fault for Embiid being injured in second rounds or him and harden dropping single points in elimination game. Or not to mention Ben Simons being a liability on offense.

5:48 you are mocking Luka in there, a person that could burn your hometown, and country, and planet, while giggle-flexing on the survivors. But that's not a serious complain, it's a reminder of the importance of pace, and the importance of taking it seriously instead of mocking it. And to be honest, Lopez has shown to be a master of tempo in the defensive end (I did learn that from you), and I can't imagine how he could not make use of it in the offense. He does not enough, ok, but the tools must be there. Deer, fear the lack of fear and become fearsome! Even if I am not a fan, I do not want to witness the decline that can already be felt.

Third best team left in the UCL behind city and real 😊

He’s not a very good coach. He takes zero personal accountability. It’s really not that complicated at this point. He doesn’t coach teams he coaches individuals.

It clearly took them a few days to edit this video. Cause the content is clearly outdated

Nick Nurse, Ty Lue, and Frank Vogel won 1 championship under their belt and we don't say they are guaranteed as a hall of fame coach. Doc did the same with even better teams and yet under achieved and also got knocked out multiple times in the most embarrassing ways and you people call him a hall of fame coach. What a joke.
