Doc Rivers respond to criticism about his past Playoffs Collapses

In case you are wondering, the Pistons team that came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Magic ended up being swept by the Nets in the ECF.

They did not win the title as Doc stated. They won the next year with Larry Brown as coach and after trading for Rasheed Wallace.

Doc is so full of it!! He's about to make history when YET ANOTHER OF HIS SQUADS BLOWS A HUGE LEAD. I tell you them Rapscallions smell blood, and this fool about to collect get paid on a bet I made when the Sixers were up 3-0. I took the Raps in 7...

Thank you, Doc! Don't let the door hit you in the arse after you're fired!

Doc Rivers has had an interesting Coaching career, because while it began with Orlando, he managed to have the talented Boston Celtics team, who I heard it from Doc himself that he didn't have to actually coach them, and he's Coached the LA Clippers when none of those teams stood a chance at success.

He had a 5-10 playoff record with Orlando.

Boston is where he had a successful playoff run.

With the Clippers is was blah and with Philly his record is 10-7.

Overall Record is 101-96

He needs not doing something right. Then present will be telling even if Joel Embiid has the thumb injury.

Doc Rivers is a certified loser.

Winners win. Losers make excuses.

3-1 is 3-1 man. To not close out a series with that lead on 3 occasions is indefensible.

He is such a fraud, doesn't take any accountability. I saw odds of about +450 for Toronto to win the series now, I may bet that cause if the 76ers bottle it at least I made money.

Good to see its circulating in his head. Of course, he's so level headed and strategic, I'm sure the past demons and media pressure will just result in him making more rational decisions during the game.

Stars he has coached: Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Tracy McGrady, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, James Harden

That is an absurd amount of talent. And he has had a myriad of great role players too. Doc Rivers has arguably done less with more than any other professional sports coach.

The fact that no other coach has blown a 3-1 lead more than once and Doc has done it 3 times is pretty damning. Yeah, if it happened once you could say **** happens, but 3 times? I know he has excuses for each time, but do you want your coach to be the excuse maker?

When the Clippers lost the play in game to the Timberwolves, Ty Lue said that was his bad for not making adjustments after KAT fouled out. Ty blamed himself, not the roster, or injuries, or any other bull excuse.

Ty did a great job gameplanning for KAT, blamed himself when his team lost, and he managed to get the Clippers to the WCF when Doc couldn’t. That’s why I believe Ty >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Doc.

With the amount of talent he's had over the years and the little to no success, there's just no excuse. I like Doc but c'mon man.

Even in his lone title season, people often overlook that his 66-16 team gotten taken to 7 games by a 37 win Hawks squad and then had to eek out a Game 7 victory over a 45 win Cavs squad. Those Celtics were stacked with talent and went from a historically dominant RS to a ho-hum 16-10 playoff record.

Just one dude from our board (who also claims to be a Sixers fan, lol), but I'm pretty sure he's just trolling.
