JJ Redick slams Doc Rivers amid disappointing start with Bucks: 'There's never accountability with that guy'

JJ Redick was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers ahead of the start of the 2013-2014 season. During that same offseason, the Clippers sent a first-round draft pick to the Boston Celtics in exchange for head coach Doc Rivers.

Redick spent four seasons under Rivers' guidance in Los Angeles. But the retired NBA guard and current television broadcaster has not been impressed with how the Milwaukee Bucks have fared over the past few weeks with his former coach at the helm.

During a recent edition of ESPN's "First Take," Redick directed some pointed criticism at Rivers, suggesting that the Bucks coach tends to lean on excuses in the midst of a team's struggles.

"I've seen the trend for years. The trend is always making excuses," Redick said.

Redick's comments came shortly after Rivers acknowledged some of the unexpected difficulties he has faced since taking over the Bucks head coaching job in late January. Milwaukee has only managed to win three games since Rivers began coaching the team following Adrian Griffin's dismissal.

"Taking a job when you’re about to go on the toughest road trip of the season is not the smartest decision," Rivers said ahead of this past Sunday's All-Star game. "I even told them that: ‘Can we wait ‘til All-Star break?’ You know, it would have been a lot nicer."
