Why the Bucks fired a coach who won 70% of his games: Nine incidents that led to Adrian Griffin's dismissal https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...idents-that-led-to-adrian-griffins-dismissal/
They dropped from 4th to 22nd in defensive efficiency under Griffin. Sure, some of that may be attributable to Dame defending like a wet blanket, but the others on the court including Giannis weren’t defending much better. Every win was a struggle including against teams like Detroit who they should’ve been blowing out by 30 given the disparity in talent. Not convinced Doc will fare much better than Griffin but the organization felt they had to do something because the team, despite the record, looked like first or second round fodder under Griffin. And to those who thought Stotts would/should land the head coaching job … really?!? I would be absolutely shocked if he was ever a HC in the league again. That playoff record is a stain he will carry wherever he goes.
One of my biggest complaints about Doc Rivers when he coached teams that played against the Blazers was the way he worked the Refs. You have got to admit having a coach that works the sidelines like that will be positive for Dame. I remember Doc complaining once about Lillard getting calls in one of his post game remarks. You have to figure Doc will use that to his advantage.
most of my distaste of Doc is due to his outbursts on the sidelines manipulating refs. Many other coaches would have racked up T’s with his flamboyant behavior. Ever seen a coach flop? Watch some Doc clips. but I agree. It will likely help them. But let’s see. Gifted a contender in Boston. Gifted a contender in LA Gifted a contender in Phili Gifted a contender in Milwaukie. Weak sauce.
I like how Pierce is talking about Chemistry and lock in time at 15 games left. March. These guys coasted until March is pretty much what I got from that.
