On Monday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks faced off against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio.
The Bucks lost by a score of 116-114 to fall to 1-6 in their first seven games of the new season.
They were playing without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Damian Lillard was still able to finish with 36 points, two rebounds and seven assists while shooting 11/22 from the field and 5/9 from the three-point range.
Many fans were talking about head coach Doc Rivers on social media.
@spana_Konki: “Doc Rivers is going to be fired”
@peagle05: “Bucks 1-6. And I just can’t understand why anyone would think that the answer to any problem would be Doc Rivers”
@ILuvJohnStanton: “A real life nba team said “I know who can get us there, Doc Rivers!” In 2023 and they were not kidding somehow”
@Rensboy20: “Doc Rivers and Darvin Ham are an embarrassment to basketball coaching”
@Aw_cookie: “Doc rivers has to be the worst coach ever. How do you have the best player in basketball and have a 1-6 record”
@MooSA_Moo: “It’s crazy that a few seasons ago the bucks were on the way to a 70+ wins, they won a championship, Giannis won mvp, & dpoy. Then Khris got injured so they fired coach, traded away jrue holiday & brought in doc rivers & darvin ham. Now they’re 1-6 & talking about trading Giannis”
Following the Cavs, the Bucks will play their next game on Thursday evening when they host the Utah Jazz.
