In their most recent outings, head coach Doc Rivers’ squad suffered anembarrassing 107-79 lossat the hands of the Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Sunday. It was the third consecutive double-digit loss for Milwaukee and the fifth-straight defeat overall for the team.

“START THE HOMESTAND WITHOUT DOC!!!! #firedoc,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “In all seriousness why don’t you fire doc and let someone else lead the rebuild?”
From a commenter: “Don’t care. FIRE DOC RIVERS!!!!”
“Anybody buying tickets to watch this garbage has way too much money to waste… 💰Dump Doc The clown.,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: “Can you fire doc so we can feel something.”
Said another: “Embarrassing you continue to allow Doc Rivers to be a part of this organization 🤡”
Well, as of this writing, Rivers remains the team’s head coach, and he’ll look to cool down his seat on Tuesday, when Milwaukee goes back to Fiserv Forum to kick off a three-game homestand with a meeting with the Chicago Bulls.
