Spoelstra = better than Doc?

UmmHmm. And what has he done without Bron coaching himself?

"There are people in southern California right now in that environment telling Doc he doesn't wanna do this. And one of those reasons is simply, LeBron James. He's been told by people—and I know this—LeBron doesn't want to be coached. He's never been coached by someone with that kind of personality, command, authority, acumen, intellect. He's rejected that. So Doc is being reminded of that by people," said Wilbon on "Pardon the Interruption."

lol.

Yes. Hope this helps.
Stuff that actually did happen for $600, Alex.

Not following YOUR argument here. Spoelstra gets no credit for the titles he won with LeBron? Which is it?

ADD: You really poked through the archives for a post I made on a dead thread from 4 years ago? I'm flattered, Quake. Living rent-free.

Please put your point in the form of a point. Still not following YOUR argument here lol. Spoelstra gets no credit for the titles he won with LeBron? Which is it?

Doc. Not Spoelstra.

FTR, I think in the 4 years since that was posted, Spoelstra's proved to be a better coach than Doc. So what? Nobody ever said Doc was the greatest coach ever. Just a Hall of Fame one.

Stuff that has allegedly changed (because it was so difficult to see before) in the 4 years since that was posted for $600, Alex.

This thread is 4 years old and Doc's crying all the way to the Hall of Fame with another $40 million in his pocket. May we all be such failures.

[Quake Griffin]

Counting another man's money (oddly enough, for your own benefit) for $600, Alex.

Enough. Seriously. Next time someone restarts a four year old thread for what is essentially an online feud, it’s a 7 day vacay. This is the official mod warning on this.

Like Doc Rivers? Don’t like Doc Rivers? Whatever. He’s been gone for almost three years. When this thread was made, he was probably at the apex of his coaching career; he’d coached an undermanned, injury ridden squad to a playoff spot and a couple of wins against the dynasty GSW team. Then it got worse—for the team, and for him. Then he was gone. Three years ago.

You want to have personal vendettas on the board? If they’re about a long gone coach and his up and down tenure here—you have that right, within reason. But we’re not having four-year old threads bumped for some half-assed **** measuring contests about opinions on a long gone coach. Let it go. Everyone, on all sides. Dredging up pointless old crap is not happening here.

You don’t think it’s pointless? Listen to the me here. “Doc Rivers did some good things for our franchise and helped us in a lot of ways for a while. But things gradually got worse, and we let him go.” Two sentences. Done.
