Gregory Jackson hilariously mocked Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers after his side, Memphis Grizzlies, defeated Milwaukee Bucks 113-110 on Thursday. Bucks entered the clash with a 3-6 record under the guidance of new coach Doc Rivers, and as the records state, the start hasn’t been good. Jackson displayed a remarkable game alongside Ziaire Williams as the two combined for 54 points, with Williams recording his career high.
In a post-match interview, the 19-year-old forward was asked about the game, where he mockingly credited Rivers and the Bucks for their defeat. GG said, “Great, credit goes to Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee Bucks.”
Notably, after around three weeks since the franchise hired Rivers as their head coach following Adrian Griffin's sacking, the team hold the record of 3-7 in their last 10 matches.

Damian Lillard’s poor form continues as Bucks record another upset
Bucks point guard Damian Lillard got slammed as once again he delivered a poor performance in their last clash. The 33-year-old was traded from the Trial Blazers in the 2023 off-season, and since then, his average saw a drop from 32.2 ppg to 24.6. Not only this, but his shooting percentage also saw a dip from 46.3% to 42.5% while the assists average saw a drop from 7.3 to 6.7.
In the Bucks clash, Lillard scored 24 points along with seven assists and five rebounds. After the match, coach Rivers spoke about the team’s loss and stated that the team lost because a few players were in Cabo. Under his guidance, the Bucks are currently placed 23rd in offensive rating, 11th in defensive rating, and 19th in net rating. Rivers was heavily criticized for his remarks as the team lost to a lineup that saw the absence of notable names such as Ja Morant, Marcus Smart, Desmond Bane, and more.
