Milwaukee Bucks Fans Annoyed Over the Latest Loss Against the Boston Celtics
Unsurprisingly, the Bucks were in the game once again against the Celtics, but they came up short in the loss. They have lost several close games this season. It seems to be a common theme under head coach Doc Rivers. Rivers has not been the answer as head coach for this basketball team. Here is what the fans had to say about the latest loss:
Horrific mistake to hire Doc Rivers

Of course Dame ” Inconsistent ” Time struck again….AJ should start at SG and Ajax at SF until Khris is back. The C’s shot 50+ 3’s….That is disgusting Basketball….Bobby just being stupid, Prince having no IQ. Just play the young guys with Giannis and develop Chemistry. This…

3, 9, 11, 24 all need to be shopped. This is bad bad bad. Blowing a lead that large is nothing short of lack of effort & IQ.
Upgrades have to be made like yesterday.

There have also been complaints about Bobby Portis Jr. play this season along with the poor coaching by Doc Rivers. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks in scoring on Sunday with 43 points and 13 rebounds. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 31 points and 12 rebounds.

Top 4 Protected Draft Picks in 2025
If for some reason the Milwaukee Bucks were able to land into the Top 4 of the 2025 NBA Draft, they would keep the pick from the Brooklyn Nets. If it doesn’t happen, then the pick would go to the Nets. No matter how it is looked at, the Bucks can’t rely on that and they need to trade some players for draft picks.
If they are lucky, there is a chance they could land the number one pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and get Cooper Flagg from Duke. The Bucks need to start trading players if they keep on losing.
