- The Bucks are just 6-7 under coach Doc Rivers after starting 30-13 with Adrian Griffin. In this enhanced segment from the Thinking Basketball podcast, Ben and Cody break down why Milwaukee is struggling -- it is the new coaching hire? The synergy between Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo? Or something else?

If your team hires Doc as the coach, your team is run by insane individuals.
Pup in the background trying to get his takes in, but Ben and Cody aren't having it!
The Drama of the Bucks has overshadowed how good Giannis has been this year
Oh wow that last part about the Bucks' offense being 1 Dimensional outside of the two creators, I never thought of that. That's a really good point and now I can't unnotice it. It's definitely going to bit them in the playoffs without some adjustments
After name-dropping videos with titles like “How (adjective) is (noun) ACTUALLY?” on the last podcast, we get one from y’all! LETS GO
The last point about players other than Giannis and Dame not driving to the basket is on point. You can't have a mountain like Brook Lopez that attempts more threes than drives. That opens up the shooters like Dame and Beasly so much.
How old is this episode? You discussing a game before the break? Sheesh
Bucks have held their opponents to under 100 points in both games since the all star break. the defense has shown a big improvement over earlier in the season. the roster is also not the same, because they traded cam payne for pat bev. a lot of what you say in this video sounds dated by a week or two, or just flat-out wrong.
Pooch in the background had some hot takes. He a gud boi give him a treat!
Ben i mean this with the greatest of respects - based off your voice, I thought you didn't have a lot of hair.... don't ask why.. that's just what I pictured.
Are we watching the same games? These guys are shutting down opponents. They're scoring. You can see the Giannis/Dame chemistry developing. Lots of changes that I do not understand you could be missing.
Honestly, doc Rivers can blow a 3-0 lead get fired that same off season and for some magical reason coach atop two duo in the league the next season.
This is by far the best basketball channel on CZcams, literally always am looking forward to the next post
Haha and Kevin oconner just posted an article explaining how the Bucks look so much better under doc
They have #6 ranked defense since he became the coach
This chat section proves most of the people don’t watch the bucks. If you don’t think the bucks defense and offensive process have improved while watching the games even after a 8-8 stretch with Doc you are not watching them.
Bro Doc plays a lot more drop defense than Griffin who tried implementing a bit of a Raptors type blitz defense. You literally said that they were doing drop against the Heat, which is what the personnel preferred versus the blitz Griffin defense. Doc is akin to Bud; he is going to fix the regular season woes and play the correct defense with the personnel, but in the playoffs it will be more based on the players as there won’t be many smart adjustments like Spoel would make. But, with Dame this should be better
I wasn't thrilled about Doc either as a Bucks fan. Since the coaching change they are #2 in defense though so.... idk something happened?
I feel like this pod is a week late. Talk about post all star Bucks
They 've been playing great lately. Especially on defense. It looks they have figured it out.
