Its not brain surgery. Ray Allen 8 3's and its uncontested every time. This is hysterical.

He wont get fired. Ill admit for a split second I wanted him to come to the bulls until I started thinking about the phoenix team. I was so happy we didnt. Hes absolutely awful.

He's not awful. He's just not a championship coach. Mediocre and there surely is a place for him in the NBA. He deserves some props for how the Knicks played the 1st 2 games actually. NY are historic losers anyway, they dont deserve any better.

Im talking specifically on defense. How can you not see what Rivers and Thibodeau do and say hey theres something to this defense thing.

Doc Rivers will take this season off, and then replace D'Antoni in the 12-13 season.

He's just not a defensive coach, and he's not the only one in the league. I dont know why he gets so much slack for it. He has a show on MSG, and he TRIES to coach defense, he's just not good at it. We all know it, just like some players are not good at defense. Not much you can do about it. He is a superb offensive coach though and deserves props for that.
Would i want him coaching my team? Not really. But there is a place for him in the NBA.

Then D'Antoni should be considered a great coach because he had enough talent in Phx to do a hell of a lot more than they did.
Mark Jackson is coaching the Knicks next year.
Where's SVG gonna be next year? No way he returns after they lose to atl.

Where does "he got so much slack for it?" My point of this thread is that he doesnt.

Yeah real stupid comment, 2 losing seasons no playoffs before they got players, god your naive.
And incase you misunderstood cause you seem a little slow, i was not calling Doc Rivers a bum coach, that was the public perception of him during the losing seasons. Its about players the end.

You are right, I have never seen doc draw up a good inbound play, make a great halftime adjustment, get a midseason trade and have to adjust.....doc is a good coach, if you dont think so you can have Mike D'Antoni and Ill take Doc.

I have no idea why he thinks he can just outscore his opponents every time. I can't remember a NBA team that plays no defense and wins it all.

Game 1 and Game 2 are perfect examples of doc using his talent perfectly. Got Ray an open shot then eveyone thinks him and paul will get it in game 2 and he calls a play for garnett. What exactly makes you think hes a bad coach? Ive given reasons and you just say doc sucks he has good players. Doesnt really make sense.

I'll never forget the time he was coaching the Suns in the playoffs and the Suns were up by 3 with little time left on the clock. Does he tell his players to foul the player on the inbound pass? No. The opponent gets of a 3 and ties the game and the Suns lose in OT.
I've watched D'Antoni coach over several seasons with the Suns. He's not a championship-caliber coach.

I never said he sucks your just giving coaches way too much credit in the nba. So you honestly think if Doc Rivers was coaching this Knicks team tonight they would have beat the Celtics?

Amare and Melo need to grow up a little. Carmelo is so naturally talented in strong he just needs to learn how to give it up faster on the double team. He tries to do way too much and then doesnt get back on defense. tonight was really really bad.

talk about putting words in my mouth. Not at all, doc has a great team what does that matter? Phil Jackson has had the best rosters one can hope for, hes still a GREAT coach.

Goes both ways. Doc had a coach of the year season before the Celtics, and he also almost got fired a couple times he got a hold of that overhauled Celtics roster.
I think he has always been a good coach, but there are a lot of good coaches who don't win games. The key is to get players to buy into what you're doing. Doc was able to pick up some studs who wanted to win so badly that they would buy into whatever he was selling. And now that he's won it, he'll always have the respect of players, and they'll play how he asks them to. Some teams don't allow their coach to actually coach. They don't trust him. Doc doesn't have to deal with that anymore.

Dantoni believes in his system like Gamblers believe in the martingale system(b4 they lose it all)
