<\/p>\nJust recently, the Milwaukee Bucks dropped Adrian Griffin as the team\u2019s head coach and will reportedly replace him with Doc Rivers. This development comes even after the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led squad is second in the Eastern Conference with a 30-13 record.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Under Griffin, the Bucks managed to climb to the Eastern Conference\u2019s upper echelon, just behind the Boston Celtics. The recent acquisition of All-Star point guard Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers over the summer raised the team\u2019s ceiling, making them one of the few favorites to become NBA champions this season.<\/p>\n
Doc Rivers, Milwaukee Bucks, Adrian Griffin<\/strong> For his part, Doc Rivers is a one-time champion after coaching the Boston Celtics to the promised land back in 2008. The one-time Coach of the Year awardee had the distinction of having the trio of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce on that team almost two decades ago.<\/p>\n Now, if he\u2019s really hired, Rivers will hope to replicate his success in Boston by coaching the All-Star duo of Antetokounmpo and Lillard. With the playoffs looming over the horizon, only time can tell if he\u2019ll be successful.<\/p>\n Jamal Crawford Disheartened at Milwaukee Bucks\u2019 Decision to Fire Adrian Griffin \u201cI don\u2019t like it, to be honest with you. \u2026 The Bucks aren\u2019t going to be judged on the regular season anyway. \u2026 They\u2019re going to be judged on their postseason success. He didn\u2019t get a chance at that and, for me, that\u2019s disheartening,\u201d Crawford said.<\/p>\n Crawford said that Griffin waited so long for a coaching opportunity like the one he had in Milwaukee. The former NBA star also didn\u2019t like the firing after guiding the Bucks to a winning record this season.<\/p>\n Ezoic<\/p>\n At this point in time, several personalities have given their opinion on Griffin\u2019s firing. While there have been some reports on how it happened, including losing the Bucks\u2019 locker room, more eyes will be on Doc Rivers to see if he\u2019ll succeed where Griffin failed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just recently, the Milwaukee Bucks dropped Adrian Griffin as the team\u2019s head coach and will reportedly replace him with Doc Rivers.
