Uh, Doc

It was the loss to the Wizards that had Doc Rivers answering some big questions. Mainly, what the heck is going on with this team on the road? …losing to the Wizards under any circumstances in 2024 is reason enough to do some pondering. But Doc has been doing more than pondering. He's also been observing. Keenly. And he told the press about it following the loss in Washington. …

"You know, it's funny," Rivers said. "I've actually been sitting back and watching everything. Not just our players, but our travel crew. Everything. And I've made a lot of notes. I will say that. I won't share that. But we don't bring the necessary professionalism, seriousness on the road.”…

Asked a follow-up question, Rivers again mentioned the performance of the travel staff.

“…As a travel staff… we may have to do something different there too. Because something's missing and everybody seems happy, you know?”…

…this might be the first time anyone has ever pointed to the "travel staff." Is this about hotel accommodations? Pilots and bus drivers? The way jerseys are laid out in the visitors locker room?😂
