Bobby Portis on Doc Rivers: He gets a lot of slander, but he's been great for our team
Bobby Portis: Obviously, I think Doc gets a lot of slander, but for me personally and for our team, he’s been great. He’s been building us, drilling things every day. Early in the season, we didn’t really have a lot of camaraderie and chemistry—obviously, we added new pieces. We hadn’t played with Giannis in a while. He got hurt against the Celtics late last season, sat out the playoffs, and now we’re trying to get re-familiarized with the team.Source: YouTube What’s the buzz on Twitter? Eric Nehm @eric_nehm After a flat start in Brooklyn, Doc Rivers told his team they only had one option the rest of the way: “Get it out the mud.” With Giannis Antetokounmpo using that mantra and Bobby Portis making big plays, the Bucks pulled out a win. At @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/59796… – 8:39 AM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Doc Rivers: “The difference tonight and the Boston game was tonight, we trusted everything. Giannis made a great pass to Bobby for a 3. Dame had the 3, but they were closing out and he swung it to Khris. That’s called trust. That’s how you win games.” – 7:23 PM StatMuse @statmuse Bobby Portis against the Nets: 23 PTS 5 REB 3 BLK 9-10 FG (!!) 5-5 3P (!!!!) The first player in over 30 years to reach those numbers in a game. pic.x.com/adY9rAvRn2 – 6:00 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Man, that is some clutch 3-point shooting by Bobby Portis. He’s 4-of-4 from deep in the fourth quarter and that last one gives the Bucks the lead. Portis has 23 points (9-10 fg, 5-5 3pt) and 5 rebounds and the Bucks lead, 109-108, with 2:06 left. – 5:51 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm HALF: Nets 52, Bucks 51 – Antetokounmpo 16pts/7reb/2ast – Portis 9pts/3reb – Trent 8pts – Lillard 7pts/3reb/6ast The Bucks are going to need to clean things up significantly in the second half to come away with a win today in Brooklyn. Another sloppy performance vs. the Nets. – 4:41 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm The Bucks continue to put together a sloppy first half. They’re up to seven turnovers in 18 minutes and that has allowed the Nets to stick around. Bucks up, 37-35, with 6:03 left in the second quarter. Bobby Portis is up to nine points on 4-of-5 shooting this afternoon. – 4:23 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Bobby Portis and Khris Middleton enter for the Bucks with 5:00 left in the first quarter. – 3:58 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Two early fouls for Taurean Prince and Doc Rivers goes with an early sub of AJ Green with 7:43 left in the first quarter. – 3:51 PM Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe Doc Rivers sees what his #Bucks are missing in the champion #Celtics bostonglobe.com/2024/12/07/spo… via @BostonGlobe – 12:27 PM Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe Doc Rivers comparing the #Bucks and the #Celtics: “It’s night and day the difference in the two teams. They’re a made team. They’ve been through it. They’ve been through the war together. They understand it and they play that way. “They have the ultimate trust. They’ll pass it – 11:50 PM Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop Doc Rivers lauds the Celtic passing deep into possessions to find good shots: “That wasn’t them two years ago, and it is them now. And that’s why they’re the champs.” – 10:23 PM StatMuse @statmuse Bobby Portis at half: 13 REB 6 OREB Has more offensive rebounds than the Celtics. pic.x.com/tRYtjK3Sde – 8:38 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm With 3:44 left, the Celtics lead, 45-43. The Bucks have stayed in this one through some hot shooting from Damian Lillard, who has 15 points in 16 minutes. It’s gone the opposite way for Bobby Portis, who is 2-of-12 (0-4 3pt) tonight. – 8:28 PM John Karalis @John_Karalis really good sequence for Queta. Good positioning on defense to force the Portis miss and then a great pick and roll with Tatum for the dunk – 8:25 PM Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe Bobby Portis is 2 for 12 FG with 13 rebounds with five minutes left in the first half. #Celtics #Bucks – 8:24 PM Bobby Manning @RealBobManning Bobby Portis throws down a put back dunk and stares down Tatum. – 8:16 PM More on this storyline Is Giannis playing his best basketball in the league right now, and who would be your pick for MVP? BOBBY PORTIS: Um, I think this is the best he’s been since I’ve been on the team. This is my fifth season now playing with him. I’ve played, I’d say, over a thousand games—or at least I’ve been in Milwaukee over a thousand days now. So, it’s kind of crazy to see his game evolve. When I first got here, he wasn’t shooting as many jumpers, mid-ranges, and things like that. But when you work on your game, when you put the time and effort into your craft, you start to see the development of your skill set. I think it’s been kind of cool to see him develop into this mid-range assassin type of player. And we all always knew he could get to the basket at will and do those things, but it’s been amazing to see his game go to another level. -via YouTube / Dece
