Doc Rivers Meets With Damian Lillard, Giannis Antetokounmpo Following Loss To Warriors 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Mar 19, 2025 8:33 pm

Doc Rivers called a meeting with Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo to address the Milwaukee Bucks' struggles following a 104-93 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, according Chris Haynes.


The meeting was an "open forum" for Lillard and Antetokounmpo to provide input on how to improve the team.


"It was a constructive session, with each individual allowed to share their perspectives. This meeting occurred on the heels of the Bucks offense sputtering as of late, and they've dropped five out of their last seven games," said Haynes.


The Bucks are currently in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, a half game back from the Pacers and a half game up on the Pistons.


The Bucks have 14 games left in the season.

True, they lost 5 of their last 7 games... 6 of those games were against teams ahead of them in the standings. Going back further, they only lost 1 of their previous 9 games, so they have lost 6 of their last 16. They just hit a rough stretch in their schedule. The rest of the season looks pretty light... they'll be fine.

The last two games of the season are vs. DET, which could be meaningful!
