    Time for Boston to fire Rivers

    The guy cant motivate this team. They need a new guy to make these old farts listen. They tuned him out ages ago.

    Don't Blame Rivers because Pierce is a huge liability for this so-called "dynasty".

    Rivers isnt a good coach. He won the title with a great great team that had 3 future hall of fame players. They have some health issues but im sorry good Boston teams dont lose that many home games in one season.

    Lakerboy, who do you like coming out of the east this year? Magic and C's seem down this year. I was thinking about putting future bets down on Hawks or Cavs to win the east? Your thoughts?

    Cav's are going to win the East barring Lebron getting injured.

    It would be hard for the cavs not to win. I wont bet against tehm. The hawks arent there quite yet. The magic are still dangerous but not as good as last year. Boston is good for 1 round

    I'm enjoying them falling apart, after all they used the Miami heat formula for winning a title. One and Done. I can't blame Rivers though, I'm not sure how much control he has over personnel but letting James Posey get away was stupid. But as a Laker fan I love the move. I know Ive said it before but they are basically the 03-04 Lakers and they wont go as far. We wouldnt even be having this discussion if McChale didn't send KG to his former team.

    Doc is a sub-par coach, imo the players motivated & coached themselves to that title.

    I have to respectfully disagree. Doc is not the problem. I'm a season tix holder and go to all of the games and I definitely believe that there's something going on in the locker room that we don't know about. There's dissension amongst the players and they have serious chemistry issues right now. After the end of last season, the story came out about what Rondo did on the team plane after a game. He called a players only meeting and ripped into Peirce, KG and Allen for being too hard on the rest of the team (and some other things that I just can't recall right now) and he apparently got some other players to say things that they later admitted they didn't really mean. According to Doc, it created a big rift between some players.

    I don't know for a fact but I believe Rondo has something to do with it this year too. He has a very strong personallity and believes this should be his team. Now that he's running it and it's starting to look like his team, his stats are up and he's certainly playing well but the team chemistry is no where near wher it was when they were rattling off all of those consecutive wins earlier in the season.

    You could say that Doc should be able to fix the problem and that it's his job to do so but with all of these strong personalities, it's a lot easier said than done.

    I do agree that with all of the talent and depth on this team there is no way they should be playing like they are but the man who got them all to play together in year one, so much so that they won a championship, didn't all of the sudden forget how to properly motivate them.

    The comradery just isn't there and you can't win a championship without it...

    you guys are so full of shit its insane. Only thing you guys are correct about is that they are old. Yes Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Garnett are old. Teams like that have little skids during the season but they will turn it on at the end of the season. I never heard any of you say anything the last 2 years.

    If Paul Pierce goes to the Hall of Fame, then it's a joke.

    LB, to say that he isn't a good coach is a bit of an overstatement when he has 2 coach of the year trophies and a championship ring under his belt. He isn't a great coach and sometimes he makes you scratch your head but he's definitely a good one.

    Let me ask you this, is Phil Jackson a good coach? I mean he's only coached the best player in the league for every single championship he's won - he's never won one without the best player in the league on his team.

    The arguement for the celtics players being the reason for winning is not well said because you can't pick and choose when it's the coaches or when it's the players who are responsible. You need great players to win a championship but having great players doesn't guarantee it.

    Thibodeau is the best coach on the staff. That said I don't think the lack of resigning Posey is the difference. He is a 4 year 25m player to you? Sure he was instrumental in their championship season but thats a pretty big # for what he brings. Had they done it they most definetly wouldn't have signed Rasheed who you can criticize now but I believe will play a big role in the playoffs. This is a team that will be a tough out in the playoffs due to their defense and if they don't run into Atlanta they have a good chance to come out of the east. It will be interesting to see if they can move this big expiring deal that Allen holds.

    I thought Lebron was the best player in the league last year.

    Doc rivers isn't the problem. This team shouldn't have to be motivated. Give me a break. Their abunch of veterans on this squad. If they can't get up to play they should retire.

    You do realize that he has a .500 career playoff record. The boston front office has produced 1 NBA title in 22 years, less than houston so whats your point?
