Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 11.22.25

Obviously, that’s a really physical defensive unit. A lot of pressure on Ryan. Just what do you think of his ability to deal with it as Yeah, I thought it was a good lesson, you know, for not only just him. I was disappointed at halftime because every time we pressured Kade, they went up to give him a pressure release. We just kind of left Ryan on the island too much. Um, we fixed it more in the second half and he got the ball up the floor, but I thought the damage had been done. I thought their physicality completely took us out of our offense tonight. um in the half court just I think Andre ends the night with like five assists. Yeah. What did you like about maybe him as a safety val? Well, we just put him there because his guy’s in the paint. So, well against him because they’re denying and pressuring when you know you can throw it to Dre. His guy’s in the paint somewhere. And I thought overall he did a really good job of getting to the next action. Um it looked like Kyle took a pretty big bump, some contact. Is it was he okay physically to No, Kyle Kyle was sick all day and didn’t come to practice this morning. Um, and you could see it early. I almost took him out early and probably should have. Uh, especially, you know, of all the nights you want him not to be sick, you know, guarding Cade and like you can just see always pressures. He didn’t get up one time and, you know, it was a tough one. He wanted to play. Um, I I wish I hadn’t have played him. Um they they went on that 140 well let’s end the first quarter take the lead they score five points in 30 seconds to retake and then there’s that 140 run which usually isn’t enough to win a game but it felt like that yeah we don’t have the margin of error to get down against a good team like that especially a solid defensive team I mean they’re playing you know this is why the season is is so tricky you you play a team and you know I told our guys they haven’t beaten us in two or three years. Uh last year we beat them in extra time, right? Uh we beat them if you count presloaded and and they played that way tonight. I thought they physically wanted to send a message and tonight at least they did. Obviously, we don’t have our guys. So, um but you get down like that, we just didn’t have the firepower to fight back. Um I know Miles is a guy that always kind of makes the right play and wants to get to that next action. Do you feel like there’s times at all where he’s passing up shots you wanted maybe? Yeah. Yeah. But it’s he’s just, you know, it’s funny. We show him and he’s going so fast sometimes, you know, and I think because we’ve given them more freedom and I think maybe that’s that’s hurt them in some ways, you know. Um yeah, even the last game we showed him two or three either like the big one he had in the corner and I think he tried to go and um so we just have to be patient.

  3. Knew we weren’t going to beat pistons but man the Bucks have so many internal issues. Starting with the head coach. He’s just not the answer for this team.

  4. Better coaching than last game You finally played Ajax 💯 and he gave you 6pts 5ast 4reb and 1 stl with a bunch of hustle plays and solid defense . That isn’t bad for somebody who was gorilla glued to the bench. With more playing time he will only get better and more disciplined with fouling.. Playing the others who barely see the floor builds team morale which is desperately needed while GA is down. Everyone needs to feel involved. Sims and Ajax earned more PT

  6. The bucks should trade Giannis. get a couple of young proven players, draft picks hire the best coaching candidate who is available, who I think is Sam Cassell. blow up the front office completely and start building their own identity, after Giannis. because they are in one big mess, that they are not going to be able to get out of unless they start making some positive serious changes.

  7. Someone needs to talk deep to cole anthony .. he was a turnover machine, aj should be our 1st scoring option while giannis and kpj out, pete nance should be in rotation with sims, giannis and kpj should comeback together before nextweek

  12. Last year Khris (till he was traded) and Dame could get you some of these games when Giannis out. This year you have no one. No Giannis, Bucks collapse. Maybe they learn though a bit from this off time of Giannis

  13. Trash coach,garbage team, I've got no faith in this team even being contenders for the championship.giannis should request for a trade mid season

  15. I don't care how much the guys like working with Doc. At the end of the day, he's 74-63 since taking over the head coach position for the Bucks after they fired Adrian Griffin, who was 30-13 in his first season as a head coach, and that came only months after firing Coach Bud, whose record was 271-120 as the head coach. I believe this is a necessary step towards becoming a successful team, alongside a trade or two, but it needs to happen sooner rather than later. He's been coaching since the 1999-2000 season, and while that experience is valuable, it also reflects outdated philosophies and strategies, whereas the top teams over the past 5 years have head coaches who are likely less tenured, except for Rick Carlisle.

  19. How much longer is our season gonna stick with this mess here? This team does absolutely nothing well and he hasn't made this team better or unique since he stole Griffins job..

  21. Doc, não perderíamos esses 2 jogos se Giannis estivesse em quadra, enquanto isso não acontece testar outros jogadores é um excelente ideia, gostaria de ver o Nance com mais tempo de jogo

  24. Even with Giannis the Bucks have fallen behind Detroit, Orlando, Atlanta and now Toronto. Those are young teams with quality players they have drafted. Look at how this Bucks team has been put together. Horst is 0 for how many drafts. Giannis is still great but even if he comes back 100% soon he will miss games to protect his knee and to recover from getting mauled every game. Silver lining Rollins could be a great long term 2nd option but after that (except hopefully KPJ) there is not enough talent. I am very concerned about keeping Giannis a Buck for life.
