Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers is once again facing criticism on Twitter following the team’s 0-2 start under his leadership…
The Bucks suffered a surprising 119-116 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, a team they were expected to dominate. This disappointing result triggered a new wave of online mockery directed at Rivers.
While it might be premature to pass judgment on Rivers’ tenure with the Bucks, fans are understandably frustrated by the team’s losses, especially against a team like the Blazers, who had only 14 wins this season.

The challenges for the Bucks are far from over, with upcoming games against the Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz, and Phoenix Suns on the road, followed by a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home on Feb. 8.

In a separate development, former Portland Trail Blazers player Jusuf Nurkic declared Damian Lillard as the greatest player in the franchise’s history through a tweet just before the Bucks faced the Blazers. Lillard, who spent 11 seasons with the Trail Blazers, left a significant impact before being traded to the Bucks in a three-team swap in September.

Although some argue that Lillard may not be the greatest in Blazers history, citing players like Clyde Drexler and Bill Walton, he undoubtedly made a lasting impact during his time with the team. Now, Lillard aims to contribute to the Bucks’ pursuit of an NBA championship.
