Doc Rivers tells Bucks that opponents should be ‘more afraid’ of them in first meeting
NY Post
Doc made his first house call.
Doc Rivers, named Friday as head coach of the Bucks, already had his first team meeting, although he won’t coach his first game for Milwaukee until Monday.
Rivers, who replaced Adrian Griffin just 43 games into the season, talked with his players Friday morning after shootaround.
His message to the Bucks was clear, according to guard Pat Connaughton.
“He said a few sentences and they were powerful,” Connaughton said, according to CBS Sports. “He talked about just being able to have that identity that we should have as the Milwaukee Bucks. He talked about the talent we have on the team, teams should be a little bit more afraid to play us.”
Rivers has already received rave reviews from forward Jae Crowder, calling his new coach “a big uncle.”
