Doc Rivers "They can't score on us!"

[xellos88330]

:lmao

[itzsoweezee]

Doc Rivers has gotten so arrogant since KG and Allen came last year. That probably explains why his players act the same way.

he's their coach and trying to fire them up. what is he supposed to say? you guys are way too sensitive.

[HarlemHeat37]

I have no problem with what he said..he's trying to get confidence in his team..they're the defending champs, they should feel like nobody can score on them..

it's too bad it didn't work though..

Ditto.

You guys need to grow some thicker skin.

[Biggems]

he is coaching his team....that was a message in the huddle.

it isn't like he is spewing it directly to the media.

[HarlemHeat37]

the Celtics actually always show us respect..last season, KG said that they modeled their team after us, and we're the standard..Doc Rivers always shows us a lot of respect, as you can see when he was talking to Pop following the game..

we're probably the only team they don't disrespect..

you didn't see any of the "usual" Celtics disrespect today..KG didn't taunt anybody, no trash talking, nothing dirty..they realize we aren't a mentally weak team..

[baseline bum]

LOL.. what's Doc supposed to say? "They're better than us and they'll probably win!" ?

[bigfan]

I think Rivers is a pretty good coach myself.

[scanry]

Doc is a great coach period. :toast He doesn't have that smugness like KFC Jackson.

BTW there is a reason why Duncan almost played for the guy.

[Thompson]

Matt Bonner snarls "Oh YEAH?!"

[spursfan09]

Thats interesting cause Pop was on the other side of the court drawing up plays believing the Spurs could score on them

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Wasn't it "they can't stop us from scoring"?

I think he said that, then something about needing 4-5 stops in a row.

Yes you are correct, do not know what the OP is talking.

[DrHouse]

Doc's arrogance is representative of their team as a whole. It masks their hidden insecurity IMHO.

[xtremesteven33]

Ive always thought that Doc is really an overrated coach. Give Pop or Riley this current Celtics team and you would see the difference it would make.

[MarHill]

+1

Matt Bonner.

[Obstructed_View]

I don't care if he said it, particularly since the Spurs proved the statement wrong.

[ducks]

doc helped the spurs

if they meet in finals
he showed one way he might defend tp

:lol

Second best record in the league and won a championship last year. I'd say Doc is doin pretty good.....

He did nothing new... Phil Jackson does it all the time...

[lefty]

If he was a smart coach, he would have said: " they can score, so we have to be focused on D "

Now that makes sense.

Dude I think I could coach that team. :lol I don't think he is horrible or anything, but that team was pretty much thrown in his lap. It would take a total moron to fuck that up.

[ploto]

That's not even what he said. :dizzy

[Ditty]

and pop showed that hes going to make pierce work for his shots and get allen tired all day running around and KG has no chance against tim duncan if we get another big man down there to rebound and hell make guys like rajando or een perkins beat us even house didnt even make a 3 today and powe didnt go off with his energy plays i still beilve with another bug guy a series with boston wont go past 6 games with the spurs winning

[Rapper]

we're probably the only team they don't disrespect..



is Celtics the only team we don't disrespect as well?

[angelbelow]

lol, that is funny.

[Obstructed_View]

Dude I think I could coach that team.
You could, they just wouldn't be any good if you did.

[Killakobe81]

Im sure the CAVS enjoyed hearing from doc "Thsi maybe the team we face in teh finals ...we gonna be there they might be too ..."
Look im all for motivation but his arrogance boh helps and hurts his team ..Pop would never do that ...and as Smug as phil is he wouldnt either ...

[Obstructed_View]

Sounded to me like Pop was aware there was a microphone in the huddles and Doc didn't give a shit.

[Spursfan092120]

I think Rivers is a pretty good coach myself.


I'm sorry..I have to disagree. In Orlando, he was hardly decent. Remember one thing. A year before Garnett and Allen, his Celtics went 24-58. Anybody can be a good coach when you have an All Star team on your starting lineup.

Are you fucking kidding me? What has Doc done? Coached 3 all stars to a ring. What did he do before that?
