At very least, Doc needs to be on the hot seat...

if not just flat-out fired immediately!
His general-managing career is a disaster. We have no assets due to Doc's horrible trades, so we sat around and watched as the rest of the West improved. He spent all season banking on the annually-overrated buyout market, only for KG and Prince (his main targets) to not even get bought out and get traded elsewhere instead. Now he's reduced to more Celtics cronyism, trying to get Kendrick Perkins, one of the most useless players in the league.
His coaching is mediocre at best. His rotations are awful, his mancrush on Jamal in the 4th loses us more games than it wins. He lacks the patience and ability to develop young players unless they share his last name. Yeah, he's a good motivational speaker with a few plays out of timeouts, but that's nowhere near irreplaceable enough to make up for what he's done to our roster.
As far as I'm concerned, if Doc doesn't pull a miracle Finals run out of his ass, he needs to go.

Pablo Prigioni went for 2 2nd round picks.
We could have got something at the deadline….no more whining about no assets. We could have got something.

So we didn't do anything besides alienate Crawford right? Which is even more touchy cause Doc's both coach and GM lol so I don't know how he's gonna play that.

Jamal will know be a full on black hole.
Can't blame him

So he'll play the same way he normally does, then?

Jamal deals with this all of the time…
he's a professional and he likes the guys on our team. he wont pull something out of the ordinary.
but he should have been dealt today.

Everything we need to win a Championship is already on the team -- I'm glad we didn't press the panic button and trade away a piece of the 'Lob Mob'.
Doc is doing fine -- this team has become a traditional 'Doc Team'; look pedestrian during the regular season, then turn-it-on come playoff time.
Step away from the ledge...

Sure, if you pretend that an NBA-caliber starting small forward, a bench, and defensive personnel aren't necessary to win a championship.

Take the homer glasses off. This team has shown NOTHING to suggest that they can "turn it on" in the playoffs. Quite the contrary, actually, as DJ and Jamal "turn it off" come playoff time. This team is headed to a first-round exit.

Bring back Olshey! A true risk taker unlike Doc.

Better yet, let Sacks run the team. Pretty obvious imo

If somehow we win the championship this season please ban Martin forever. But first let me bash him unfiltered for 24 hours straight.

And if he does that, your clueless ass will keep not having a scooby clue why it happened and why your uninformed rants are this annoying.
Seriously, this goes to all you moaning, I wanna hear you all eat crow when the playoffs come around and we perform much better than mainstream media assumes we will.
Also, those thinking Jamal should've been moved, where and for what? any chance to improve was gone after the Dudley and Austin trades, that's when you should've been pissed off, not now when nothing was available.

MartinToVaught, I feel the same way about Doc's moves. But almost as bad as his moves are his placating tone. I hate hearing him being interviewed and when reporters ask him about how the other western teams got better he gives the same B.S. answer of "I like our team" and "there wasn't anyone out there that we liked." It makes me cringe.

The problem is that the win-loss column can be very deceptive. People look at our record and compare it to last year's record (which is almost the same-at this current time of the year- I think), but I think that since you keep the bigger picture in mind you can see things other may not. We still have defensive problems, a glaring gap at the SF position, and a crappy bench. And our inability to shake up the roster surely doesn't give reason for optimism. I love this team, and I hate to see it repeat the same mistake from last year, which is continuing to field an offense heavy roster but no defense to balance it out and yet expect a different outcome when the playoffs arise.

Still a terrible GM, still a bad coach. Now that the initial post-Blake-injury adrenaline high has worn off, Doc is back to being exposed on a nightly basis.

good man.
we're all well versed in your opinion on Doc.
stop bumping old threads when we lose or being all over game threads when we lose and absent when we win.
we heard you the 1st time.
and the 78th time.
