Another fun fact from this Athletic piece: the "philosophical differences" that got Doc fired included his refusal to develop young talent and his favoritism for Trez over Zu. In other words, the exact two concerns that esqtvd has shouted down his entire time here. Turns out Ballmer was on Planet Zubac all along.

Lol. Read this Doc apologist article.

Its crazy how the whole NBA media is siding with doc.

Total BS. If it was budenholzer, they would be calling for his head! Brett Brown, they called for his head! Media needs to shut the eff up about Doc! Doc playing trezz literally cost us the trip to the WCF. Too boneheaded to make adjustments. I'm glad he's gone. If he goes to find success somewhere else, good for him. But for the clippers he was terrible! Terrible in the FO and terrible as a coach. I tried to give him a chance this season. I was a defender of his right until the playoffs.

A year later they're finally turning on doc LMAO. I love to see it

Sixers haven’t lost yet.

They clearly are the more talented team, so I won’t count them out. They can certainly win in Atlanta. They’ve proven it. Also, I’m not sure if that whole team’s spirit is broken or just Ben Simmons.

Nonetheless, Doc is one double digit second half blown lead from repeating last year’s exit.

I would be very surprised if Philly bounced back from this. Typically, when Doc's teams start choking, they don't stop choking.

On the other hand, the Hawks are still an Atlanta sports team...

The two choking games are embarrassing enough. They're in line with Doc teams - coughing up unnecessary losses and playing in series longer than they should if they didn't completely choke them away to begin with.

People seem to forget that Celtics team went 7 with Atlanta (lol) and with a meh Cavs roster (Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiack, LeBron, Ben Wallace, and Illdrauskus as the starting 5) before beating Detroit and LAL in 6.

I just don't trust Ice Trae and Atlanta like that to count Philly out.

Spoiler:

Relax my friend, let people have fun, that's part of the sports experience. Doc is not the Clippers coach, if you personally like Doc, cool, but there's nothing wrong with people roasting a former coach. If it's not a discussion you want to participate in, just ignore it.

Carlisle OUT
Budenholzer OUT if they didn't win tonight
Van Gundy OUT
Stotts OUT
Scotty Brooks OUT

Focusing on Doc is like stalking your ex’s every move on social media. Get over it, move on.

It's not as deep as you're making it sound dude. People are being petty yes, but allow it.

I don't get why you have to always police people's fun. Allow it. Those other coaches don't have anything to do with how Clipper fans have to feel about Doc. Its one thing to squander opportunities in the past, its another to squander it when you have arguably the best player in basketball in Kawhi Leonard, and a top 20 in PG up 3-1.

Last year was painful for a lot of fans, especially for ones that follow the franchise from day 1. Which I admittedly I'm not. But as a Kawhi fan, that took me out.

I'm sure the respective teams are happy their coach is out, minus Dallas.

I don't know if you're being serious or not,

but if we make teh WCF, and Doc loses to the atlanta hawks tonight, That's going to be sad. Like Even Brett Brown got them to seven games against Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors. A second seed in the east. The sixers did it as a 3-seed. Now, with doc they are the #1 seed, possibly being eliminated by a 5th seed or taken to a game 7 by an undermanned fifth seed.

This is Yikes. They can maybe try to hire rick carlisle, but he's kind of a hard ass, I'm not sure how embiid would like him, but if they lose, I don't expect them to make a change with the coaching, unless they move ben simmoons for a decent pointguard and morey wants a different style of play

Trae's Hawks is No Luka's Mavs. Doc should be ashamed.

Except... it's not. The fact remains that we underperformed with respect to expectations last season, so this offers us a means of analyzing the talent and fit of the roster sans the coach.
