Doc Rivers should be fired tonight

[gauchojake]

If you could take Mark Jackson off the national broadcasting team for me that would be fantastic. Maybe Van Gundy can be his assistant.

Doc Rivers was gutted following the Clippers‘ elimination from the finals, as the Nuggets grabbed the victory on Tuesday night. Following the game, Rivers said he will accept any blame for his team not meeting the expectations.

“We didn’t meet them [the expectations]. That’s the bottom line. I’m the coach, and I’ll take any blame for it. But we didn’t meet our expectations, clearly, because if we had, in my opinion, we’d still be playing”, he told reporters after the game.

“I was never comfortable. I just wasn’t,” he added about the Clippers‘ 3-1 series lead. “I just knew conditioning-wise, like, we had guys that just couldn’t play minutes, and that’s hard, you know. I mean, there were two or three times a night where we actually started getting it going, and a guy had to come out. I mean, it is what it is. So no, I was never comfortable. I can tell you that upfront. I told our coaches that.”

So they weren't in shape because...?

It's 100% all on him. The way the played Dallas was the biggest barometer.

Bang

Yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss ssss!

[IBetYou]

Well he wanted his man Lue to get a HC job. Presumably wanted him replacing a white person, but you can't have everything in life.

Laker great call

[lakerboy]

Biggest joke in the NBA

Disgrace

Players fault not the coach.

He rested his two big guys thinking it was over.

[jjgold]

Most likely he’s going to get fired if they lose the series the owner has no choice

Coach and players fault then they all suck. Fock em.

[asiagambler]

Simmons is the problem really. Can't have a guard that can't shoot or make free throws

[wikkidinsane]

players fault.mostly

Everyone's fault on that shiit team, complete melt down fail at home in the 4th quarter in a must win playoff game.

They were on top of the world thru 3 quarters and looking at an easy win, then...

[Brock Landers]

ive never seen anything like the last 2 days

[wikkidinsane]

coach going to get some blame but I saw players getting nervous out there lol

[lakerboy]

Docs teams continue to be involved in these meltdowns no matter where he is.

[shadymcgrady]

Is doc rivers the reason why cp left lob city after that epic meltdown?

You can blame Doc but this team has a lot of shrinking players. Harris and Ben are scared to death in big moments. The second unit has zero talent.

If I remember correctly.. during Lob city, CP wanted another star forward (Melo)
Rivers gave his son Austin Rivers $30+ million instead

[JIBBBY]

Doc Rivers fail tonight and it's on him as well as the team for sure.

You can't lose that massive lead at home like that on back to back similar let down loses in the second half like they did. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that in my 35 years of watching NBA basketball playoffs.

Jibby I get you don’t follow sports, but don’t just regurgitate the most recent post here, it’s a tad annoying. Doc is garbage, lost 4 out of 5 series where his team was up 2-1, only one to win was with 3 hall of famers. Sitting Embiid for 6 game time mins over two quarters (20+ real time mins) after he started 8-8 is laughable. Not sure how Doc still is a coach, besides the whole thing we can’t talk about

[209 Life]

PG13 dumped Doc's daughter and then Seth Curry married her.
