Many NBA fans were talking about head coach Doc Rivers on social media.

@Bloodbath1977: "Why does Doc Rivers still have a coaching gig? Shouldn’t he be spitting out hot takes at a desk with Screaming A. or Skip by now? Get him outta here."

@alecrfoster: "Admittedly I haven’t seen a full Bucks game outside of their opening game (only win on the season) against Philly, but Doc Rivers gotta be on the hot seat after a 1-5 start to the reason right?"

@DeathbyCeltics: "This was only possible because Dame / Doc River inexplicably left the Cavs 9 seconds to run a play, when they easily could’ve taken the last shot down 1 on the previous play"
