The Milwaukee Bucks have struggled to start the tenure of Doc Rivers as head coach, but they have picked up a pair of road wins coming out of the All-Star break at the Minnesota Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers.
Jon Horst believed Rivers was the right coach to help the Bucks achieve their ceiling compared to Adrian Griffin.
“He had to jump on a moving train,” a team source told ESPN. “And then help direct it.”
“It’s funny — my friends at least, they’re like, ‘How you doing?'” Rivers said, putting on a concerned voice before breaking into a smile.
“And I’m like, ‘I’m great. I’m happy. I love this team. The organization is solid, man, and we got a chance. Could we win a title today? I don’t know. But when it’s time, I think that answer will be yes.”
