Doc Rivers blows a double digit lead and loses to the Nuggets in his first game as the Bucks head coach. He's already in playoff mode!
Milwaukee Bucks' newly-appointed head coach Doc Rivers has been trolled on social media after his team’s defeat against the Denver Nuggets.
The 62-year-old has been recently appointed by the franchise after the sacking of Adrian Griffin despite having some impressive performances.
In his first match as the head coach, the Bucks lost the match despite having a double-digit lead at one time. That led the fans to troll him on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter.
It was the Bucks' second defeat in the last three matches. For the winning team, the star of the show was point guard Jamal Murray who ended up registering 35 points including two rebounds and five assists.
On the other hand, for the Bucks, point forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had a great day as he ended up registering 29 points including 12 rebounds and four assists.
