    Doc Rivers is a criminal who let his gambling addiction overwhelm his professional career. We’ve watched him throw games and cheat the integrity of the game countless times. We’ve seen him in so many scandals and so much controversy that the more compelling question is how has he been in the league for so long?

    Doc should have never coached again after the Ben Simmons debacle!

    I don’t think Giannis is smart at all. He speaks in a way that sends varying messages. I’m sick of the dude myself, and hope he signs a big deal in Milwaukee and we don’t hear much from this wacky player.

    Doc Rivers is so overrated as a coach. SAS to think that Doc was going to beat the Lakers when Perk got hurt shows SAS knows nothing about Basketball. If you watch Doc’s teams he doesn’t make any adjustments. The only reason he won in Boston because Ray Allen and KG fell into his lap.

    Doc has done NOTHING with all the talent he has had…1 chip with elite rosters…Clippers, Philly & now the bucks…if Doc was “WHITE” Stephen A would have been asking for his head years ago….but since he’s black, he gets a pass…Stephen A is trash just like Doc!!!!

    This ain’t about the city of Milwaukee, it’s about his ego plain and simple. Guy is a narcissist. Hell of a player, but a narcissist

    April 13, 2026 at 10:09 pm

    So we get pissy with players like Jimmy Butler who say they want out and aren’t resigning, and we are annoyed at Giannis for not saying he wants out….. like what do yall want? Damned if you do damned if you dont

    They’re never the same since trading Jrue Holiday and firing Mike Budenholzer.
