The more games the Milwaukee Bucks play under head coach Doc Rivers, the more people question whether the team made the right decision to fire Adrian Griffin and replace him with Rivers. Thursday night’s 113-110 loss away from home versus the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies, who entered the game with just 19 wins on the season, was another indictment of the anti-RIvers notion. Doc Rivers Get Roasted Again After Yet Another Shocking Upset Milwaukee Bucks Loss It is easy to blame Rivers. Faulting Rivers is perhaps the most convenient way to vent the frustrations Milwaukee Bucks fans are feeling. However, the…

Something is off with Milwaukee Bucks superstar point guard Damian Lillard. He just doesn’t seem to be himself of late, and that has become a contributing factor to the disappointing stretch the Bucks have found themselves in ahead of the All-Star break. Many Bucks (and hoops fans in general) are left confused over the recent down form of the future Hall of Famer. In the 113-110 road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies Thursday night, Lillard failed to get into rhythm again. Sure, he scored 24 points, but he needed 21 attempts from the field to get there. He was also…

It’s hard to be a Milwaukee Bucks fan of late. Despite a stellar cast, the Bucks enter the All-Star break with plenty of questions surrounding the team. And with another upset loss (113-110) on Thursday at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies, people are once again left wondering whether it was right for the Bucks to go with Doc Rivers after firing Adrian Griffin. The Milwaukee Bucks Are Trending In the Wrong Direction With Doc Rivers Regardless of how one feels about Rivers, it’s hard to deny the result so far of the marriage with the NBA champion head coach.…

The Milwaukee Bucks got embarrassed again on Thursday. Just two days after getting humiliated in a 123-97 loss to a Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat, the Bucks put up another head-scratching performance, as they lost on Thursday to the Memphis Grizzlies, who did not have Ja Morant, Marcus Smart, and even Jaren Jackson Jr, to the tune of a 113-110 score on the road. Rivers appeared just as dumbfounded as the fans over his team’s struggles, as he did not hold back in criticizing his team following the Grizzlies game. “First play of the game, we gamble for the 50th time…

One of the Green Bay Packers chief rivals just made a big move in the 2024 NFL offseason, with the Chicago Bears letting go of veteran defensive back Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Cody Whitehair, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The #Bears have released veterans S Eddie Jackson and OL Cody Whitehair, who had combined salary cap numbers of roughly $32M. Even more cap space for Chicago. Green Bay Packers Rivals Make Early Big Moves After Super Bowl 58 Jackson, who signed a four-year deal with the Bears back in 2020 that was worth $58.4 million has…

Without a doubt, running back Derrick Henry is going to be one of the biggest fish in the NFL free agency ocean this 2024. Most people expect that Henry will hit the market, with the Green Bay Packers among those viewed as a chief contender for the services of the hulking tailback. The Packers still have AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones, but as pointed out by Max Dible of Heavy, Green Bay has the option to let Dillon go and try to adjust Jones’ contract to make the team’s cap situation more tenable for a potential Henry signing. Doing so…

Although they are not the favorites, the Green Bay Packers are among the five teams with the shortest odds to land the services of superstar running back Derrick Henry in free agency, (h/t Max Dible Heavy.) The Packers came in at +1000 to nab Henry, who will hit free agency on March 13 assuming he doesn’t agree to an extension with the Titans before then. That outcome is highly unlikely, as Henry is now 30 years old and has said among his primary motivations to continue playing for multiple seasons is to compete for, and ultimately win, a Super Bowl…

The Green Bay Packers generated some controversy back in the 2020 offseason when they decided to use a first-round pick on a quarterback, taking Jordan Love of Utah State as the 26th pick of that year’s NFL Draft. A few years later, that decision is seemingly paying off for the Packers, who now know that Love can handle the job under center just fine after the departure of Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst recently joked that he knew way before the draft that Love was going to be THAT guy for his team. “Sometime in 2019,” Gutekunst…

The Milwaukee Bucks looked as though they were about to go on a three-game win streak for the first time in the Doc Rivers era heading into Tuesday night’s matchup against the Miami Heat. After destroying the Charlotte Hornets last Friday and the Denver Nuggets on Monday, most signs pointed to another victory by the Bucks versus the Heat. For one, the Heat were missing Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, and Josh Richardson. Doc Rivers Gets Ridiculed Again After Another Milwaukee Bucks Loss The Heat still had star big man Bam Adebayo and shooter Tyler Herro, but it wasn’t even either…

All things considered, Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetekounmpo had a productive night on Tuesday, albeit in a 123-97 loss at home at the hands of the Miami Heat. However, the fact that he did not take a single free-throw attempt can be hard to believe. But that was exactly what happened in the Heat game. Via the Associated Press (h/t ESPN). Giannis Antetokounmpo had 23 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the Bucks but didn’t attempt a free throw all night. The last time Antetokounmpo appeared in a game without getting to the foul line was in a…
