Doc out as Clippers HC

[True Lakers Fan]

Sounds like excuses to explain why the team slated to win... Lost

L.

According to a report this morning it was a "mutual decision".

Aka, Ballmer's a nice guy and let Doc go with some dignity intact.

What dignity? The Nuggets had already cut his balls off and turned him into a Eunich

Wow. I really don't think he's as bad as everyone is saying. Have we forgotten what he did last year?

Before the big 3 went boston, he was on the ropes and about to be fired. Garnett won that championship, plain and simple. Doc seriously under achieved withat celtics team, and has seriously under achieved with the clippers. Hes a loud mouth cry baby and was never a good coach.

The excuses people are making for doc is ridiculous. Does he not deserve any blame?

Yeah, if this were a one time thing, he'd have a point.

But there is a history of Doc's teams underachieving.

It's also not the first time one of his teams blew a 3-1 lead.

Doc has always had a lot of friends, especially in media (though Perk is a former player but it still applies). He's a genuinely good dude and people like him. But because of that, no one hardly ever says anything critical about him even if its warranted.

Doc Rivers is the new Philly head coach.

My condolences Philly...Embiid is one big ego himself

So I guess that means Dantoni to LAC??

 

[wildturkey]

I don't like this Doc/Philly pairing for either side. There's little justification or making sense of it. It's just a "name" hire for what should be a "good gig"

Let's get D'Antoni to New Orleans. Those young guys could be fun to watch flying around

I forgot New Orleans had an opening. I could actually see Lonzo somewhat thriving under Dantoni.

True, he won't have to take as many FT's bc he will just be shooting 3's

Doc's blown 3-1 leads in the 2nd round with the Clippers with completely different rosters. That's on him.

Until he tries to get rid of Zion in favor of more wings/guards. I don't see Zion fitting with what D'Antoni tries to do. Could be wrong.

This.

He played in essentially a Dantoni system in college. That UCLA team had the best offense in CBB in over a decade. That style of play got him drafted #2.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Welp...no need to feel sorry for Doc lol

 

[trojanfan12]

This.

That's what I think too. Considering the pace they already play at, put them in D'Antoni's offense and they'd be even more fun to watch than they already are.
