Clippers won't ever win a championship as long as doc rivers is the headcoach

[Yogatti]

https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/doc-rivers-contract-extension-clippers/story?id=55388368

Unfortunately he just signed an extension last year so this incompetent piece of shit ain't going anywhere for a long time.

Doc Rivers is the biggest playoff choker as a headcoach. Go look at what he has done before the Big 3 Celtics were formed. Go look at how many times the Clippers have failed in the playoffs with him as a headcoach. So many times they have choked in the playoffs including that 3-1 lead chokejob against the Rockets which any headcoach would've been fired for in that situation.

I'm sorry Kawhi....but you made a terrible decision joining the Clippers instead of the Lakers

[Bynumite]

I stopped watching at halftime when the clippers were up by 15. What the hell? :lol

Nobody has milked a single championship ring more than the 08 Celtics :lol The players have reunions and talk about it like they're a dynasty and Cock Rivers made a coaching career out of it, when in reality he's just not that good and right now would be an assistant or a tv analyst somewhere if he was ringless.

[Laker_1995]

Watching the game. what ruined the game was once kiwi became the ball handler. Clippers were hot with PG And Lou Running the rock ( from what I seen I would come back to it) but last 6-8 min I seen kawahi dribble way to much and with tucker on him he threw some stupid fucking passes. I’m being 1000 % honest I’ve never seen kawahi foul hunt this much in his career like bias aside . Every fucking play he would throw his body into people scream and fall. AD be doing that shit too I know but I never seen kawahi on that bs in SA from what I remeber. Plus doc rivers complains every call so that doesn’t help the clippers with calls lol . Overall, clips will be fine once they realize kawahi is much more deadly off screens and when he gets to his spots not trying to create something as a PG

The thing about coaches is, they can't make a team win a title that wouldn't have otherwise, but they can prevent a team from winning a title that could have otherwise.

[Chris Fall]

I don’t think Doc is some great coach or anything, but I don’t think he’ll be the reason this Clippers team will or won’t win a title. Ultimately, it will be up to the players. The one thing I do believe Doc has no problem with is just letting his players play and getting out of their way. I think that was largely what happened with the Pierce and KG teams. They self coached and self policed themselves. I think this Clippers team with most of their key guys being established stars and established veterans, same thing applies. If he does that for the most part, which I think he will, it will be up to those players to decide how far they can go.

I never seen a player control an organization, like Kawhi controls clips tbh.

Magic with the lakers
Kobe with the lakers

Kawahi in SA
Kawahi in Tor
Kawahi now

So you disagree with whitemamba.

[whitemamba]

Magic with the lakers
Kobe with the lakers
Lebron with the lakers
I wasn’t around for magic . Kobe didn’t control shit. Lebron controls his own narrative not the franchise.

Teams that let players dictate their minutes are rarely successful. Unless the Lakers and Mavs (yes Mavs) suffer season ending injuries to star players, the Clippers will not have the cakewalk to the Finals that Toronto had.

Cakewalk for Toronto? Did you forget the 76ers series went to 7 games and Kawhi hit the buzzer beater to win that series? Did you forget Raptors were down 0-2 against Bucks?

The 6ers wouldn't have gotten out of the 1st round in the West so yeah. No Lebron James who shut Toronto down 3 years in a row. The Celtics were weaker and the Bucks... lol.

Then they get to the Finals and the Warriors get injured one by one.

The time was right for Toronto. Don't think the Clippers get the same easy row to hoe.

Dude you're all over the place. Raptors didn't face the Celtics...wtf

76ers had Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. And Bucks lol?? Bucks had the league MVP and #1 record last season. And as you can see this season, they're dominating everyone

:lol your head is so deep in the sand.

:lol Kobe couldn’t control anything other than the lakers.

:lol too young to watch magic.

:lol Lebron highjacking the entire lakers franchise before he even signed.

[Dennis the Menace]

Welllll I’d rather have Doc than Pop at this point in their life. lol not sure that’s saying much though

[Yogatti]

Are you sure? Cock Rivers has Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Lou Will, Montrezl Harrell and he's struggling to fit them on offense because he doesn't know how to coach.

Pop created The Beautiful Game that knocked out the Heat in 2014 Finals

its not pop. TD left Then kiwi did them dirty and now their left with a trash roster. If pop was coaching this clipper team with his staff it wouldn’t be fair lol. Pop knows this team isn’t going anywhere so why go full effort. Once pop knows he has a chance at a ring he does his thing. Too smart to be a bad coach he’s been through it all.

[Yogatti]

If Poppovich was the coach for this Clippers team then it would be over. Cock Rivers is actually trying really hard to make it work on offense but he is just too fucking dumb to know how to coach a basketball team.

[FkLA]

Atleast Cock plays his best guys. This senile version of Poop would rather go down with his pets Belinelli, Wombat, and Forbes instead of playing Lonnie, White-Murray together, or even Carroll. He also gave away Bertans and Green because they were never one of his pets.

[Clipper Nation]

Kobe didn’t control shit.
:lol He ran off Shaq, Phil and MVPau.

[Clipper Nation]

Atleast Cock plays his best guys.
No he doesn't. Just last game, he sat and watched Rodney McGruder get torched by Westbrook over and over again without a single adjustment. In previous seasons, he gave way too many minutes to scrubs like Jamal and Austin. Doc is basically on the same level of coaching as today's senile version of Poop.

I'm saying the East was weak. The Bucks beating them 4 games to 1 in the 2nd round while the Celts made the ECF the previous year. You cannot say the Bucks were strong because they beat that shit team.

The Bucks had the benefit of Lebron being in LA as well. No one gives a shit about the MVP or the best record in the East. Raptors had it the prior year, before KL even arrived, how did that work for them?

[Clipper Nation]

Another stellar "coaching" performance by Glenn tonight. Double-digit leads mean absolutely nothing ever with this moron as our "coach." His only strategy is waiting for Lou to bail him out with isoball.

The 4th seed and second-round exit is coming.

[Bynumite]

Loadnard once again leaving his teammates hung out to dry per par :lol

Shai Alexander thoroughly outplaying the guy he was traded for too. Playoff Pee :lol

SGA outplayed PG
Doc idiotic ass had PAT on Dennis when he was hot
he lets lou Williams try to be Jordan every play. I liked how the clippers looked with shamet. Coming off screens and p&r here and their but once Williams has the ball teams knows it’s a running shot or pass to Montrez.

[apalisoc_9]

Clippers have a mediocre record without Leonard. Kawhi is srsly causing loses.

The big problem with their system is Docs system less offense. Kawhi has to be a scorer. Not a ball handler.

[DMC]

Playoff seeding will matter.

[Dverde]

I disagree. Doc seems to seek assistant ideas who are creative and listens to the them. If they lose I would more put it on the players. He is nothing extraordinary but he is competent and amiable to justifiedchanges

One of the most infuriating things about Doc is that, when he has a roster like last year's without high-end talent, he actually will run a system with plays. But as soon as he gets stars on his team? Iso, iso, iso. He seems to think that having superstars is an excuse to stop coaching, when in fact, the small details and X's and O's actually matter more when there's serious expectations to win something.

He's Mark Jackson 2.0. Everyone can see it except Ballmer. This franchise is never winning a ring until it gets a Steve Kerr.

something tells me Leonards way too big of an ego to not call the shots.

The clippers do look more system friendly without kawhi

[Chucho]

Kawhi and Doc gonna tax det LeLaker ass in the post season. And then Brow gonna bolt to Chicago.

Not really. With Kawhi, Doc's "system" is waiting for Kawhi to bail him out with isoball. Without Kawhi, Doc's "system" is waiting for Lou Williams to bail him out with isoball.

It's not Kawhi's ego, it's Doc's stubbornness. The Lob City teams he "coached" had all the same flaws as this team. At some point, when the roster keeps changing but the coach and the results stay the same, it's the coach's fault.

[DAF86]

Playoffs' Kawhi is too much of a beast. If he's healthy, it will take a fuck up of major proportions by Doc not to ring, tbh.

Yeah.

somewhat unfair that his peers feel a certain level of social responsibility with the fans and he doesnt do though. He has a huge advantage over everyone since his legs are fresh.

[TD 21]

:lmao In this homogenized/player "empowerment" era, "systems" are a thing of the past. It's all about personnel.

The Warriors off ball screening and passing worked because they had 2-3 all-time great shooters to leverage it.

You think the latest great white hope Nurse had a "system" last year? They too played ISO ball with Scumbag because at the highest levels, that's how this sport works. The best players dictate the terms and the coaches are glorified bystanders. I give D'Antoni credit for not doing look at me shit to justify his existence.

:lmao At this pretend the Clippers are an underdog in order to prop up Scumbag when they win it, shtick.

[Yogatti]

Doc Rivers played Montrezl Harrel 30 minutes straight tonight's game against the Celtics. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? I am so sick of this idiot

[ambchang]

Kawhi < the truth.

[LkrFan]

This won't help

Well we beat the Lakers without Paul George 1st game.

Beat the Lakers again with George Paul playing like dogshit so that helps. Stupid beaner

Coaching is the least important component in the NBA, tbh.
