Doc Rivers Questions NBA Reporters After Damian Lillard, Bucks' Loss to Blazers

The Milwaukee Bucks' trend of falling to teams with losing records continued on Saturday after they dropped a 105-102 home game to the 12-22 Portland Trail Blazers.

After the game, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers was asked whether he needed to adjust his messaging to his players, and he provided this response, per The Athletic's Eric Nehm.

"I think you guys think we don't say anything or something," Rivers said.
"Do you think we're watching film and just, it's quiet time? Do you think we're not saying stuff? We say stuff every day. What's not happening is we're getting off to bad starts. We're not moving the ball. We're not playing right. We've gotta play right. We've done that. We've gotta get back to doing it."

The 17-16 Bucks have lost four of their last five games. Two of those losses have been against the 13-22 Nets, and another occurred against the 16-19 Bulls. Now Portland took a game from Milwaukee, which finds itself struggling much like it did during a 2-8 start to the season.
