Not even a few hours had passed since the Milwaukee Bucks fired Adrian Griffin when they announced another shocking news. In the latest revelations from CNN Sports, Doc Rivers has been hired to replace Griffin. This news has not been well received by basketball fans.

The Bucks fired Adrian Griffin earlier today. The stakeholders decided he was not good enough for their championship hopes. Fired after only four months into the job, the news has created a lot of backlash from fans across the world. Some were targeting Giannis Antetokounmpo for his alleged involvement in the firing. Some targeted Damian Lillard after news came out he was not able to gel into the offensive gameplan designed by Griffin.

Now with Doc Rivers at the helm, it is to be seen how the Bucks fare going forward. What seems fishy to the fans is that Rivers was called in to help Griffin by the Bucks’ front office just a month ago. Now it seems that Rivers left an impression that could do better than Griffin with the same job. Currently serving the role of a color commentator with ESPN, Rivers has mentioned that the Bucks are a team that could win the title.

Doc Rivers is an accomplished coach. His resume shows that. He is on the list of the best 15 coaches of all time. He won the championship in 2008 with the Boston Celtics. It is regarded as one of the best coaching seasons of his career. But playoff disappointments in recent seasons have made a dent in his resume. The Bucks are hoping this time around Rivers can deliver the goods.
