The stress on Rivers is undoubtedly rising. He has gained simply 50 p.c of his video games as Bucks head coach, whereas his predecessor Adrian Griffin gained slightly below 70 p.c. That’s regardless of Griffin being fired simply part-way by his first yr as head coach of the staff.
Interestingly, Rivers isn’t the one member of the Bucks to reference the staff’s help workers in terms of the staff’s poorer performances. Giannis Antetokounmpo referred to the staff’s gear supervisor whereas venting his frustration earlier this season.
“We have to be better,” he mentioned on the time. “We have to play better. We have to defend better. We have to trust one another better. We have to be coached better. Every single thing, everybody has to be better. Everybody. It starts from the equipment manager. He has to wash our clothes better. The bench has to be better. The leaders of the team have to be more vocal… We have four months to get better, so let’s see.”
These are very unusual instances in Milwaukee certainly.
