What is Doc Rivers’ record with the Bucks compared to former coach Adrian Griffin?

Doc Rivers is a former basketball coach who led the Boston Celtics for nine seasons. As coach, he helped the team reach two NBA Finals and win one championship in 2008. Rivers took over as coach in 2004 and managed to bring the team to the playoffs in his first year. However, they missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons until All-Star Kevin Garnett joined the team in 2007-08. Garnett formed the “Big Three” with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, which led to a record of 66-16 and a championship win over the Los Angeles Lakers in six games.

In January, just before the All-Star break, the Milwaukee Bucks fired their first-year head coach, Adrian Griffin. This decision was not made overnight but resulted from months of underwhelming play. The team had concerns about the severe decline of their once-elite defense, the flawed use of newcomer Damian Lillard alongside franchise centerpiece Giannis Antetokounmpo, and a widespread fear that this group, which was expected to contend for a title, was likely to fall short if Milwaukee stood pat. Despite this, the reason behind the franchise’s decision remains unclear.
