The Milwaukee Bucks have had a challenging start under new coach Doc Rivers, blowing a 13-point lead against the Denver Nuggets and losing to a 14-33 Portland Trail Blazers team. Their struggles continued with a 19-point lead blown against the Utah Jazz. Since Rivers took over on January 29th, the Bucks have gone 1-5, with their sole victory coming against the Dallas Mavericks. The team's overall season record is now 21-5 at home and 12-13 on the road. Under previous coaches Adrian Griffin and Joe Prunty, the Bucks had records of 30-13 and 2-1, respectively. Criticism has been directed at Rivers, with Stephen A. Smith suggesting this could be his last coaching job if the Bucks' poor performance persists. The team's recent losses include a 105-129 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, a 106-114 loss to the Phoenix Suns, and a 108-123 loss to the Utah Jazz.
