The former NBA champ has had some postseason issues since his Boston days.
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers was brought in to serve as a stabilizing force for a veteran-heavy squad during a fraught 2023-24 season. His addition didn't stop Milwaukee from once again getting upset in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, though in fairness the team was without All-Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard .
“I’m literally excited about the team,” Rivers told Nehm. “I am so f—— engaged. I think we got the right group, I just do. And you know, again, as Bill Belichick said, we’re either going to land this f—— plane or we’re going to have a crash landing. “If you look at my path since leaving Boston, I’ve intentionally put myself in win-or-failure positions, knowing that in a lot of cases that if we fail, it’s on me,” Rivers said. “But if I’ve learned anything from my journey with Boston and how long it took me as a coach to get there, I want that position more than the, ‘Well, we can be fifth seed if some things go right’ position.”
