Breaking: We Have A Coach Firing Just Hours After The Season Ends

Well, that didn't take long. Immediately after the Milwaukee Bucks played their final game of a disastrous regular season, head coach Doc Rivers has been handed his walking papers, becoming the first coach of many to bite the dust at the conclusion of the season.

The Bucks finished 32-50, far back of even dreaming of a playoff spot.

Across his 2+ seasons in Milwaukee, Rivers posted a 97-103 record, suffered two straight convincing first-round exits, and failed to even make the Play-In this season. He never even had a chance with the Bucks for one of his infamous blown 3-1 series leads.

It was only two days ago that the boastful Rivers publicly blasted ESPN insider Shams Charania for writing what he called an "inaccurate" article that suggested the Bucks had a toxic locker room situation.

Bucks broadcaster and team legend Marques Johnson, however, said, “It is as toxic as it appears. It’s just a bad situation."

At the center of all that toxicity, Giannis Antetokounmpo is probably the next notable name to go in Milwaukee, as he and the team have been at odds over the past several weeks about whether he was healthy enough to return to the lineup. The Greek Freak hasn't played since March 15th, and it's quite possible he's played his last game for Milwaukee.

Meanwhile, insider Michael Scotto suggested this past weekend that "there’s a belief that Rivers could pivot to an undetermined role in Milwaukee’s front office."
