In the eyes of Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers, his team simply just did not have it Tuesday night when they got humiliated by the undermanned Miami Heat at home. The Bucks were shockingly blown out by the Heat despite Miami missing key players.
After the game, Rivers shared his honest observation of how the Bucks performed on the floor, and what he said was something every Milwaukee Bucks fan wouldn’t want to hear ever again, especially considering the circumstances.
Via the Associated Press (h/t ESPN):
“They were quicker on everything on both ends,” said Rivers, who fell to 3-6 since taking over for the fired Adrian Griffin. “You have these nights, you have them, but it is what it is. I thought as bad as it looked defensively, I thought our offense was way worse tonight.”
"They were quicker on everything on both ends."

The Milwaukee Bucks Got Outplayed On Both Ends By The Banged-Up Heat
The Heat did not have star Jimmy Butler and key players Terry Rozier, and Josh Richardson against the Bucks. Butler was out due to a death in the family, while Rozier and Richardson are forced out by injuries. Still, the Heat ended up with a 123-97 win.
While many expected the Heat to fold like a chair against the streaking and healthy Milwaukee Bucks squad on the road, Miami flipped that narrative and outworked Giannis Antetokounmpo and company. The Heat shot better from the field, had more attempts from the floor, and recorded way more rebounds than the Bucks, who dropped to 35-20 and 3-6 in the Doc Rivers era.
