Doc Rivers is the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Imagine if I’d have told you that last Tuesday morning (Adrian Griffin’s firing was reported around 1:40 that afternoon)—if you’d said “yeah, I could see that happening,” I’d recommend you go buy a Powerball ticket.
Anyway, the pressure is only higher now than it was a week ago, and there are many open surrounding Rivers’ capabilities/worthiness in regards to the task at hand: another championship in Milwaukee. It’s arguably higher than it was on Mike Budenholzer at any point too, because at least he got something of a grace period after winning a ring, and before that, confidence wasn’t as high that the Bucks could indeed win a title.
