JJ Redick played four years for Doc Rivers.
So he knows how he operates.
And he thinks Doc's act is wearing thin.

I’ve seen the trend for years! The trend is always making excuses. Doc, we get it. Taking over a team in the middle of a season is hard. It’s hard. We get it. Just like getting traded in the middle of the season. It’s hard for a player. We get it, but it’s always an excuse. It’s always throwing your team under the bus… there’s never accountability with that guy," Reddick said.
Stephen A. Smith agreed with JJ, adding that it will likely be Doc's last coaching job if things don't work out in Milwaukee.
The team is 3-7 since Doc took over and lost their last game before the All-Star break to the Memphis Grizzlies, who were essentially running out a G-League team.
