The Milwaukee Bucks had another home game on Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Milwaukee has been struggling all season long. The Bucks lost to Atlanta at home by a final score of 131-113.
Milwaukee drops to 26-35 on the season. Atlanta improves to 32-31 on the season. The Bucks are 11th in the east and the Hawks are 10th. This team has no chance of being in the playoffs this year and they might be better off tanking for the rest of the season.
With that being said, this franchise might be making wholesale changes this offseason. General manager Jon Horst might be fired and so may head coach Doc Rivers. It is amazing that Rivers has lasted this long with this team.
Milwaukee Bucks Fans Want Head Coach Doc Rivers Fired

Rivers has been the head coach of the Bucks since the middle of the 2023-2024 season. He has not been a championship level coach by any means. Milwaukee fans are tired of him leading this team and want him fired.
One fan is frustrated with both Rivers and Horst and said, "FIRE DOC AND HAVE M.I.A. HORST ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS" Horst has not done a good job with constructing this roster over the last couple of years. Rivers has not done a good job of coaching this roster either.
Another Bucks fan said, "Glad I didnt watch the game. As long as Doc is the coach I wont be watching games" This team is long overdue to make a change at head coach, but they also should have never fired AJ Griffin as head coach during the middle of the 2023-2024 NBA season as well.
Another fan said, "#FireDoc simple as that he simply does not know how to coach in the modern NBA. This organization playing like they really want our Star to leave what a joke of a front office."
Milwaukee is no doubt heading for a rough offseason ahead. There is going to be wholesale changes on the table. They are going to need a new head coach. It would be a shock if Horst and Rivers were around for the 2026-2027 NBA season. This is also going to open up the door for a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade this summer.
