Sack Doc Rivers NOW!

[red1]

He never played for the Sixers.

Reminder: You are not a Raptors fan. Never was and never will be.

You are a bitch just like your franchise player Embiid who cries on Bational television on his GF shoulders.

Same coach who has blown 9 playoff series leads.
The master of blowing 3 - 1 leads.

Has best team in league, and he has them sitting 5th out west.

This clown must be fired.

Rivers as well as the franchise has one objective - to make the playoffs...

Coasting thru season is part of the disagreement , but if you are a Clips fan you have to deal with losses(.)

Personally, I'm interested in a few things. People by nature of their bias against a Canadian team naturally shit on the Raptors and didn't give them due credit. Most are now realizing this is a top notch franchise and they have a blueprint for what they're doing.

Annointing the Clippers as champs because they got Kawhi and a perrenial first round exit the last few years in George in my opinion is premature when

a) Raptors had championship pedigree in Kawhi and Green, Ibaka had been to the finals and Gasol had a number of deep playoffs runs to go along with Lowry and some of the young core of the Raptors who routinely played deep into the playoffs.

b) Pat Beverly is not Kyle Lowry. I understand the Clippers have George and Leonard but Kyle Lowry is one of the best game managers and offense initiators in the league. That puts a lot of ball handling pressure on Kawhi and George and then you also have to consider how much better a 3pt shooter Lowry is than Beverly, let alone FVV.

This could be particularly problematic if they finish with a lower seed. But by no means do I see them as a lock to win it all.

Pat Beverly is no Kyle Lowry, but Lou Williams can be.

Pat Beverly is no Kyle Lowry, but Lou Williams can be.

Nowhere near the same impact.

Pat Beverly is no Kyle Lowry, but Lou Williams can be.

Not at all. Thy might be sufficient but they aren't Lowry.

[yeaaaman]

Nowhere near the same impact.

Agree

[Nike D'Antoni]

I dont know how much more Doc Rivers has to suck to get the sack.

[BigShotBob]

They have no size downlow so they get eaten up in the paint

[Vino24]

Rivers hoping Garnett comes out of retirement

"I gotta coach better" . Why not just resign and do us good? Rather than wasting the best team on paper by far in league like that.

Doc Rivers is one of the most overrated coaches in basketball history. Everyone talks about how Doc was a great coach since the arrival of Ray Allen and Garnett, but people forget to note how bad of a coach he was prior to having three mega stars. He had McGrady in Orlando, but never made it out of the first round. A lot of people, wrongly, put that fault on McGrady, but the dude was averaging 30 points, 7 boards and 6 assists a game. How much more could he have done? People also fault McGrady for the 3-1 series collapse against Detroit, but that should fall on Doc. How many coaches just sit there for three games straight and don't make any adjustments. Yeah, the Pistons started playing Tayshaun, but Doc had no idea how to make adjustments for that and ultimately lost them the series. Then Doc decides to go to Boston, and his first season he posts a 45-37 record. It's alright, but the weak Atlantic division makes it so they get the 3 seed. They end up losing to Indiana in 7, getting blown the **** out in game 7. If Doc was such a good coach there's no excuse why he lost game 7. The next year he goes 33-49, and 24-58 the year after that, including an eighteen game losing streak. Let's not forget that during these losing years Paul Pierce is playing the best basketball of his life, and Doc is essentially wasting them due to his inability to coach. And then in 07 he gets Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, and they win the title. Come on, that team could have made the NBA finals without a coach. Garnett brought so much intensity on the defensive end, and Pierce and Allen carried the load offensively. That team essentially ran itself, but Doc just got the glory. Ever since then he's been coasting on the big three, and Thibs, until he left in 2010. The only thing I give Doc credit for is being smart enough to rest the Big three during the 09-10 season, so that they'd be fresh enough to make a postseason run, and eventually face the Lakers in the finals. Other than that, he's an average coach made better because of his players. Otherwise, he would have taken the Magic to the second round, or done something impactful before Garnett and Allen arrive. He won't take the Clippers to the finals or win them a championship. There are only a few elite coaches in the NBA, Pop, George Karl (Even if no one believes so), and Sloan. I guess Doc will have fun riding the Clippers to success even though he wouldn't really be adding anything to it.

What specifically should Doc have done differently to win that '03 series against Detroit?
