Doc Rivers’ lack of responsibility for his own shortcomings is seriously crazy and seems to be getting progressively worse.
The Bucks have lost four of their last five games and the team’s loss on Tuesday against the Grizzlies on the road saw their away record slip to 18-20 on the season.
After the embarrassing loss to the Wizards, Rivers spoke about the team’s road performances and went as far as to blame the team’s ‘travel crew’.
“I think focus,” Rivers said, via The Athletic‘s Eric Nehm. “I don’t know what it is, You know it’s funny, I’ve actually been sitting back and watching everything. Not just our players, but our travel crew, everything, and I’ve made a lot of notes. I will say that. I won’t share that. But we don’t bring the necessary professionalism, seriousness, on the road. That’s something that we can fix, and it’s something that we’re going to have to fix.”
The Bucks returned to Fisev Forum on Wednesday, but that didn’t improve things and the team went down 111-101 to the Grizzlies.
The home side were missing two key pieces in Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton, but Memphis’ injury list is nine players long.
If the Bucks want to make a deep playoffs run, they’ll have to fix their road problem because they will have to face the Celtics at TD Garden.
The 2022 championship team’s form doesn’t translate to the number two seed in the East.
Though the franchise but have still managed to hold onto second place, despite the dip in form.
Since Rivers was hired as the new Bucks coach on January 26, the core trio of Antetokounmpo, Middleton and Lillard have played in just six out of 40 available games together.
