Tracking the larger sentiments of Bucks fans week by week.
Dec 2, 2025, 6:00 PM UTC
I think it’s safe to say that the vast majority of Bucks fans are fed up with the underachievement that’s defined this year’s squad and that we’ve seen at times during Doc Rivers’ tenure. Given the situation when he was hired, there was an argument for bringing him on: the locker room had turned on Adrian Griffin, and they needed someone who could right the ship. A player’s coach with a long-established ability to gain veterans’ respect fit, despite not being one of the better tactical coaches available. The argument against Rivers, well… it was stronger.
Giannis has gone on record saying he likes playing for Doc. He did the same with Bud, and many reports professed his loyalty towards Jason Kidd. That didn’t stop Jon Horst from firing each of them when the team clearly needed a change. Even with money due to both Doc and Griff through summer 2027, I don’t expect this situation to be any different, and I’ll be pretty surprised if Doc is still the head coach of this team by next week.
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we’ll be pretty blunt: should Doc Rivers be gone now? If so, who should be the interim coach? Regardless of the coaching staff, where will this team be by the end of the month and season?
As always, this poll will be open until midnight Central on Friday, and we’ll post the results later that day. Thanks for voting!
