It’s a good time to be fans of Milwaukee Bucks rivals. The Bucks appear to be in shambles, having lost five of their last six games — all during the current stint of Doc Rivers as the team’s new head coach. Enter Boston Celtics superfan Bill Simmons, who sent out a “panic” post on X following the Bucks’ 129-105 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at home.

Is It Time To Push The Panic Button On The Milwaukee Bucks?
Although it was expected that the Bucks would have some growing pains during the early goings of Rivers’ tenure as new head coach in Milwaukee, most fans would probably agree with the sentiment that a 1-5 start was not what was widely projected for the team to have after six games with Rivers calling the shots from the sidelines. Losing to the lowly Portland Trail Blazers was a punch to the gut and getting blown out by the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City was another blackeye.
All that being said, the Bucks can get a pass for losing to Minnesota, considering that they did not have Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton due to injuries. They also entered that game after trading away Cameron Payne and Robin Lopez, leaving them with a relatively thin rotation to work with. The Milwaukee Bucks also played one of the best teams right now in the league coming off the heels of a tough five-game road trip punctuated by a loss to the ever-dangerous and Kevin Durant-led Phoenix Suns last Tuesday.
“This was going to be a tough one if we were not injured, coming back from the trip we just came back from,” Rivers said after the Timberwolves game (h/t ESPN).
