Really doc. Would you like Bird, MJ and Magic to come out of retirement and play for you? That's even better talent. LMFAO. You'd think the sixers signed PJ.

Didn't your FO trade 5+ 1sts and a future star guard to pair (and neutralize) the reining FMVP with Paul George. It's literally only downhill from here, the Thunder are gonna be eating like the Celtics when Kawhi inevitably leaves next summer.

The football version of Doc has also been fired:

Not a good couple weeks for overrated, arrogant, underachieving coaches.

We can see the sunshine with the right coaching choice sooner rather than later. That's what makes it feel good about not have to care about Doc and his shortcomings anymore.

Where's the sunshine with a roster with no youth, no draft picks, no loyal stars and a bunch of toxic and delusional role players that think they're better than the man that ownership invested everything in. Doc got out and Kawhi is probably leaving next. And then what.

Doc got out and Kawhi is probably mediocrity leaving the Clippers organization after that. and then what Clippers will find a coach puts authority to the locker room instead of being their mother, creates gameplans fed by analythics and adjusts the rosters strength by matchup basis instead of playing favorites. This will make that team complete and their switch will on.

Corrected.

Kawhi and PG are not going anywhere. Zu and Morris will stay. The Clippers need a decent ball handling PG who can make good decisions.
The new coach would have a lot to do with this. A new system would integrate Kawhi and PG better with better chemistry.

A ball handling pg is super essential. You aren't winning with a Beverley/Williams/Jackson type backcourt and Kawhi has always needed someone to run his offense (Lowry/FVV/Parker). From an outsiders perspective Kawhi looked absolutely miserable this year, I think a repeat and he's probably out of here. One the bright side y'all get one last chance at glory but with those reports coming out about the extreme disconnect between PG and the rest of the roster moments after game 7 it's looking really odd and like a roster with no synergy or clear leadership.

West also going to be really tough next year, Warriors back with Steph/Klay and the 2nd pick, Denver/Mavs improving, Lebron.

Jerry needs to be aggressive but also not make more Marcus Morris type trades. I'd be after CP3.

Good points. I think Trez and Lou had issues with how Doc was handling PG and Kawhi. More PG because they thought PG hadn't earned that yet.

Yea when you've blown 3-1 leads multiple times, it's literally on coaching. Like you had the talent to win and had proven it multiple times over in a series and just got figured out and couldn't adjust. He's probably just a front runner that can only win with stacked rosters.

Wish Ballmer could fire Doc again and do a press conference on why he did it. Look at Vogel doing whatever it takes to win

Can we fire him again? Look how he went on a new job and we are here forced to watch Lakers to win a championship when it should have been us.

Earned what though? PG isn't a rookie. He's been a multiple all star and Team USA player for years. If Lou could've given us at least one of those 20-30 point outburst against the Nuggets we make the WCF. And Trez was a shell of himself the entire bubble. I mean I get it if they were babied especially Kawhi but these two are far from being team leaders

The irony of Trez complaining about favoritism is incredible when he was favored over Zu all season.

wassup MartinToVaught, we've been vindicated bro. Both of us were right since DAY ONE and in the end we got what we wanted. They finally got rid of that 3-1 bum :lol:

This offseason was extremely satisfying for me

I'm all for players **** on Fraud Rivers because he deserves to it but paul george talks too much. This guy played like crap in majority of the Bubble and doesn't hold himself accountable. If he starts underperforming in the regular season Steve Balmer needs to trade this guy
