Doc Rivers: I Don't Know If Bucks Can Win Title Today, When It's Time I Think That Answer Will Be Yes 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Feb 26, 2024 3:31 am

The Milwaukee Bucks have struggled to start the tenure of Doc Rivers as head coach, but they have picked up a pair of road wins coming out of the All-Star break at the Minnesota Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers.


Jon Horst believed Rivers was the right coach to help the Bucks achieve their ceiling compared to Adrian Griffin. 


"He had to jump on a moving train," a team source told ESPN. "And then help direct it."


"It's funny -- my friends at least, they're like, 'How you doing?'" Rivers said, putting on a concerned voice before breaking into a smile.


"And I'm like, 'I'm great. I'm happy. I love this team. The organization is solid, man, and we got a chance. Could we win a title today? I don't know. But when it's time, I think that answer will be yes."

By "when it's time" does he mean this year's playoffs or some future season?
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

It's Doc Rivers. He's lining up his excuses already.

Yup … he’s gotta make it look like he’s up against the world. What a joke

Doc would make a great politician with these pre-made excuses all ready and lined up

Yes, because as we all know, Doc raises his level of coaching in the playoffs. His teams have a rich history of starting slowly, building momentum, then killing it in the post season.

This guy is a disaster. Thank you Milwaukee for picking up the tab so the Sixers don't have to pay him anymore!

Hes just saying the team has work to do if they want to win a chip and when the time come he expects them to be ready. Nothing wrong with this
