Coach Doc Rivers, who managed the Milwaukee Bucks, came out in defense of the team’s terrible start to the current NBA season. The Bucks managed to win their first game of the season against the 76ers, but then went on a horrid six-game losing streak, the latest one coming against the Cavaliers.
In response to Milwaukee’s poor start to the season, loyal fans and basketball analysts have come out with a number of reasons as to why the Bucks have failed to impress so far, including tensions within the Milwaukee locker room. However, Coach Rivers put these matters to rest, stating that there are absolutely no issues inside the team.
“This is a positive group, we believe we’re a really good basketball team that has played poorly at times and last two games you can say we played well and lost the games, there’s a big picture thing to this,” Doc said. “The worry is outside the building. I guarantee you that there is none inside the building.”
After losing a crucial game to the Cleveland Cavaliers last time out, Rivers circled major mistakes that the Milwaukee Bucks could have avoided. In the losing game against the Cavaliers, Damian Lillard managed to score 36 points in total, while Bobby Portis Jr. and AJ Green put up 21 points each.
“We were supposed to switch and we just didn’t. Those are the things that just kill you,” Doc said after the game. “You play so hard, man and then you make these little self-inflicted wounds. But we’re proud of our guys. … We had so many chances to win the game. Last two games, we’ve had chances to win the game.”
Doc Rivers’ Daughter, Callie Curry Calls Out ‘Most Racist’ Trump Campaign
Meanwhile, Callie Curry, the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers, recently reposted a Huffington Post article which claimed that Donald Trump’s campaign was the ‘most racist campaign in modern history’. According to the article, the Trump campaign used racist attacks against opponents, going down in history as an exceptionally racist political campaign.
On another note, Doc Rivers mentioned that he has never involved himself in elections as much as he was this time, in a press-meet on Wednesday. Rivers has ardently supported Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign, having known her for 15 years or so. Rivers expressed disappointment in Harris losing the election, especially in the fact that more than 65 million people disagreed with him.
