Nice job taking no time outs and letting the Hawks gain the momentum, I still think we will win this game but I just cant stand Doc

Blaming Doc for the first quarter is nothing short of irrational. As T-Mac would say, it's Doc's fault some guy in the stands ordered Budweiser and got Heineken.

He is a better playoff coach than George Karl, IMO

Regardless of Doc, after the way we opened the game we shouldn't be losing right now.

I agree, Doc should give TA some minutes, put some pressure in the backcourt.

True, Ray can't guard Johnson, but Tony Allen is not exactly the player to send to the court when your team is already playing out of control.

There is good news on the Doc front.

After we lose this series, Danny will have no choice but to fire him.

Let's be honest, The Hawks are killing us, KILLING US on all of the hustle plays, getting lose ball and Ofrebounds by the handfull.

Like when there was one min left in the game and Childress got that Orebound that would have been down three with the ball back with about a min to go. Or in the third when Al Horford got TWO Orebs from the same spot!!

I also think that Ray has no chance of stopping Joe Johnson. Gotta give TA some burn...

He has been terrible in the last 2 games! When you get outcoached by Woodson then you are in trouble.

All the communication, sweet talking and motivation are not as important in the playoffs because every team is motivated. In the postseason it comes down to the X`s and O`s, making game adjustments, finding a good rotation and matchups, calling the timeouts at the right time and making good substitutions. Well, Rivers is just not good at these things. He looks absolutely lost on the bench!

Players` league my ***! Coach is just as important in basketball and these playoffs are a prime example of that. Great players are just not enough...

+1

Anyone who puts this on Doc is a moron.

You knuckleheads really think playing TA would have made a difference? Your probably the same idiots who were calling out Doc for putting Tony on Chauncey Billups during that Detroit game earlier in the season.
