People like CN really need to stop the agenda. Sure he is a horrible GM, but this guy can coach.

He got way too much blame during the Lob-City era Clippers when in fact what has done them in the playoffs was the simple fact CP3-Blake were made of glass and not any Doc's mismanagement or strategic mistakes.

If they get Kawhi next year, I wouldn't be surprised if they are a Top 3/4 seed in the West..

Only coach in NBA history to blow two 3-1 leads. Won a title with 3 All-Stars. Being down by 31 points isn't good coaching. And he didn't really do anything different to start the comeback. Combination of Williams getting hot and Warriors not respecting the Clippers led to the comeback. He did the same job with the Clippers that Del Negro did but I don't see anyone calling Del Negro an underrated coach.

After getting to LA with a fat max contract, one would think Uncle Dennis will tone down the bullshit.

Doc's still the same guy who's blown two 3-1 leads, blown more playoff series leads in general than any other coach, lost more home Game 7s than any other coach (all of them in blowout fashion), engaged in blatant nepotism with Austin, etc. You can't blame it all on the Lob City teams' players because Doc had similar chokejobs with the Magic and Celtics.

Everyone already knew he could overachieve without stars on his roster, he proved that his first year in Orlando. When he gets stars, he becomes arguably the worst coach in the league, and that's a problem in a sport where you need stars to win.

Was he a good coach in Orlando? If not, why? If so, why?

He sucked ass in Orlando. -15 points son. :lol

I will give him credit for waking up the Dubs though. Hope they play your Spurs this year for the LOLZ! :lol

:lol He won Coach of the Year in Orlando. But yes, he's not that great of a coach, he got exposed when T-Mac and Hill signed and the expectations got higher.

That comeback last night was the result of the front office assembling a team full of tough players who never quit, not because of any special coaching moves from Doc.

His past results dont matter. He has adjusted well to every era of basketball.

What did he do? They gave up 100+ and it was basically the Lou Williams and Monkeyballer show...
