Official Fire Doc Rivers thread

[NippySudz]

Just for some perspective, these are just from today on the general board:

yeah i cant trust vogel in the playoffs. This dudes rotations are mind boggling

Pop exposing himself as a tired old hack once again. Decides to randomly put Belinelli in to end the third into the fourth with Forbes and guess what, Miami goes on a 13-3 run. Frustrating as hell watching your coach refuse to make obvious adjustments and continue to play trash

Lesson...coaching is quite the job

Like I said before, if you go in any team board, you're likely to find complaint about a coach. Even the championship raptors who just won there are people saying Nick nurse is Nick thibodeau and he plays guys too many mins and isn't a great coach lok

After this latest playoff embarrassment, it's safe to say we need a coaching change.

[donemilio21]

I am officially on board with firing Doc and let one of the assistants to take over. Either Lou or Kalamian.

No thanks on promoting any of the assistants. We need to totally move away from the Doc era.

Doc calls the shots not any of his assistants. Failure is not on any of them. Look how Nurse elevated Raptors after he took over for Casey. He was Casey's assistant for 3 years.

[donemilio21]

Let's not forget the urgency here. Let's see how Doc does rest of the playoffs is not applicable in our situation. This is our window. We are capped and have zero assets to trade for foreseeable future. We fail this year, and we lose our chance to sign cheap veterans next year for another run, and Kawhi walks.

Doc chooses his assistants. Seeing as how he's also the same guy who chooses to have Trez guard Boban and Reggie guard Doncic, how can you trust his judgement with any other choices?

Kawhi walking is our worst nightmare.

I can't. But his assistants all have good reputations within the league and have been with the team. More importantly, they would have seen (hopefully) Doc's mistakes and learned from them. I am talking about firing Doc now. Not in October. It is obvious that we are not going anywhere with Doc as the headcoach.

oh ffs

[Tudalop]

Use Zubac and save your ass, Doc.

[MartinRiggs]

Nah,he is too stubborn. Harrell must guard Boban...

[NickP]

I heard the Mavs signed the game ball and gave it to Doc.

Kawhi walking is our worst nightmare.

He wants to live in LA and could have signed with the Lakers, but didn't want to be 2nd or 3rd fiddle. Perhaps failing in the playoffs would change his mind, but the Clippers have been good to him and done everything he has asked of them.

Nice try, Mr. Moderator. But this will never end, bro. Every thread will be poisoned with this crap. Forevermore.

Jonathan Swift originally said the reasoning quote

[NickP]

This is so damn easy. Ask yourself who's been the better coach and which team has the better talent.
PG and Kawhi have been carrying doc like all those players before them. But when adversity strikes like PG going garbage, Doc comes through as the bumbling idiot that he is.
Histrionics? Come on guys. Most of us would love to see us succeed and we'd love for Doc to do well in life too. But let's call a spade a spade. This guy needs to go back the the television booth.

[LamarWho]

I just hope Ballmer grows a pair and can this snake oil salesman if we make a 1st or even 2nd round exit this year.
