The Doc Rivers watch thread (w/poll)

[Dick Tate]

Bern asked for this, and why not. Not sure there is one board member here who wants to roll into next year with Doc as coach. So vent away with all the Doc discussion.

For the Poll you have a Yes, No and he gets moved upstairs options.

I wanted a poll of whether the posters want him to stay. That's more meaningful. The numbers on RealGM are significant and make a statement. Let's use whatever little power we have.

We should be tryng to influence a decision, not guess what decision will be made.

You think the numbers here have impact? I guess we should’ve had another “Who should start at SG?” Poll running this season.

It is time we went the smart assistant coach route. Find the next Jordi Fernandez or Mark Daigneault or Will Hardy or Udoka. Go interview Chris Quinn.

Nothing bothered me more than how people absolve Horst in the Griffin mess. How was Griffin on the interview list and not Fernandez? Giannis would have been blown away by Fernandez.

Wonder if Tony Bennett (not the dead one) would make a good NBA coach?

This is an all in team with a multiple MVP caliber player in his prime looking back at 3 straight first round exits in which the team won 4 total playoff games. Doc and Horst both need to go.

Bucks office people are killing this poll. Why does anyone want to keep him? Probable that he was the driving force for the Kuzma trade. Waited for the elimination game to insert a better lineup. Still thinks Kuzma can help this team. He belongs in a museum with the rest of the dinosaurs.

People are voting that he won't be fired, not that he shouldn't be. I imagine that poll would be like a 90-10 split.

I want the poll. I want to see how many people want Doc.

Want but don't think so. Read a SI article and it quotes that Giannis loves him.

Can you name a coach Giannis didn't love?

[BigO]

In a few days, we won't be able to talk about a replacement, so while I can, my preference is also to get a great assistant. I love the Billy Donovan coaching tree. Daigeneault and Shaka Smart were both assistants under Donovan.

As for Jordy Fernandez, he lost me when he hired Juwann Howard as an assistant.

Post one on the GB. Fans throughout the league hate the guy.

I feel like 10% is generous. Who still believes Doc is a good coach?

The poll asks whether or not he will be fired, not whether or not he should be fired.

Yes, I think some are misreading. If it was what do you WANT to happen it would be virtually unanimous.

Correct. For those that want to KEEP Doc please just post your thoughts in a post. We can then count up the many pro-Doc posts on one hand.

[raferfenix]

Has there been any national media about the Bucks fan consensus that Doc should go?

[Profound23]

The fact he is still our coach is pathetic. Should've been fired immediately after game five.

[blazza18]

Doc is a cockroach. He ain't leaving unfortunately.

[Baddy Chuck]

There's no possible reason for him to be back, so he will.
