Pringles took Glen’s trash (Choke-P) & made the WCF after back door sweeping him with Gosh Smith/Brewer. LB actually won a chip as an underdog & carried AI to the Finals. He also did more with less as a Cripples coach.

[TD 21]

So much for Scumbag "wanting to play for him" (not that I ever bought that crap; I don't think he cared one way or another and this proves that).

This could further weaken them. Screw the X's and O's, that's a high profile, pressure packed, combustible situation, that lacks leadership. If nothing else, he could take that role on publicly. If Lue is promoted, that's not really his persona.



Cripples don’t have a point guard to run the offense unless Pandemic P is getting shipped out.

But I thought they had the best player in the world and part of that entailed being a premier playmaker? Stands to reason that they shouldn't need a true "point guard".

Kawhi can make plays for himself & in the PnR but he ain’t probing or driving-kicking. You’re the one that claimed Beverley/Lou were sufficient when I claimed Heat + last years Bucks/Raptors were more complete b/c they had two way players at every position.

Replace Lou/Beverley/Montrez/Shamet with just Van Vleet/Ibaka or Brogdon/Lopez & the Cripples would have been in the WCF.

If Scumbag is (was?) who hipster, agenda driven fans/media think (thought?) he was, Beverley and Williams damn well should have been sufficient. Let's not leave out George and Jackson (minimal role, granted) too.

So you're saying Scumbag can only win with pristine circumstances? I knew you'd see it my way. :lmao

I’m hearing reports this move was done with the intention of bringing back Choke-P3 who doesn’t want anything to do with Doc. So, signing Pringles make sense if that is indeed true.:music

[Clipper Nation]

Good riddance to the shittiest coach in the history of professional sports. Most blown 3-1 leads, most blown series leads, most Game 7 losses, worst winning percentage in potential clinching games. THREE TOTAL PLAYOFF SERIES WINS IN SEVEN YEARS despite having plenty of talent to work with. It actually defies logic how awful he is in the playoffs.

Next step is shipping out all the losers on the roster. Lou and Trez gotta go. Maybe even Playoff P too if Jerry can find a sucker team to bail us out.

So, having a complete roster is what you call “pristine” but at the same time you downplay the Heat/Bucks.:lol (Cripples were simply loaded on the wings & flawed at every other position)

If Lou/Beverley/Montrez/Shamet played anywhere close to their regular seasons self then the Cripples would have won in 5 but muphuckas would have been molested by Rondo/Kuzma/Caruso/Dwight in the bubble. (Durant’s trash aka WestBrick/Ibaka/Adams/Waiters/Roberson/Kanter seems like a super team compared to that roster)

Difficult to match salary and make it work roster spot wise and what's the incentive for the Thunder?

They'd probably rather see George and Scumbag squirm and possibly ultimately implode than accept Zubac and Shamet as the "young talent" and Beverly and Williams. Sure, they could be rerouted for picks, but they already have a thousand over the next decade.

Nah, I was just taking what you described to its logical conclusion. The Heat don't have a superstar, the Bucks' superstar is a perimeter player who can't reliably shoot pull up jumpers and they also lack play making.

:lol Pretending Rondo/Kuzma/Caruso/Howard is some elite outfit. These are the exact types you were more than likely making fun of as recently as early in the playoffs.

It’s called saving taxes & OKC’s owners are Penny pinchers. As far as salary, they can sign/trade Montrez along with Beverley/Lou whom they can flip.

You were claiming that Giannis didn’t have a legit supporting cast when the Bucks were getting rolled but swap the MVP with Kawhi & problem would have been solved. Bam & the Heats supporting crew would run Pandemic P & crew off the floor. Had Kawhi been swapped with Butler then you would have been playing that pristine card but I digress.

Big Dummay, what I’m point out is that the so called “depth” was so shitty in the bubble they would have been outplayed by Dwert & crew who proved it against the Nuggets. Make what you will of it as far as whether that’s a compliment or insult to the L*kers bench.

A little unfair given the bubble and all the craziness. But he may end up in Philly..

It's not like they won't have other suitors and who said the Thunder want to pay Harrell?

Nah, Scumbag wasn't winning the championship with that flawed Bucks roster either. James is the only one who might have been able to pull it off. Swap Butler with Scumbag and that takes care of the Heat's lack of a superstar problem, but the lack of a second option for a contender reason/excuse would have flown. He'd have altered their chemistry though, which has been, dare I say . . . pristine.

Another assumption, this time that the Clippers' best role players wouldn't have experienced progression to the mean.

[lefty]

Thry should hire that coach who was fired by the Nets

[baseline bum]

Shit, was hoping this was a troll thread and the Clippers were staying with Coc.

[baseline bum]

They should bring Vinny Del Negro back tbh

[lefty]

what about JVG ?

[Kawhitstorm]

It's not like they won't have other suitors and who said the Thunder want to pay Harrell?

The only teams trading for Choke-P3 are contenders who are willing to part with multiple role players that OKC could flip & the Cripples have a boat load. They can trade Harrell just like the Knicks signed Morris with the intention of flipping him in the future. For example, they can try going after Towns with draft picks + Harrell/Lou for salary matching purposes & placeholders.


Nah, Scumbag wasn't winning the championship with that flawed Bucks roster either.

One minute, Bucks were flawed b/c their star player couldn’t shoot. Next minute, the Bucks were flawed with a star player that can shoot :lol

Another assumption, this time that the Clippers' best role players wouldn't have experienced progression to the mean.

Yeah, it was a case of being in a slump rather that being out of shape which explains why Montrez/Lou were blowing MULTIPLE point blank layups. They definitely would have definitely progressed to pre-Magic city shape in a week.

Nobody is taking on your awful players without taking some picks in exchange and you ain't got those, the best chance you have is getting a team willing to take your players in a salary dump, but I don't know if that's possible

[timtonymanu]

I mean he was already choking playoff leads before this season. How do you have all that talent through the years and do about the same as vinny del negro did coaching the team?

[Capt Bringdown]

Dude should retire - he's obviously snakebit re 3-1 leads. The look on his face when the Clips went up 3-1, trying to mask the panic and futility. He knew it was over.
Who would hire him?
"We like what Doc brings to our team - abject failure."

Doc has a lot of charisma and is very manipulative I"m sure he could con somebody into hiring him. Look at a guy like D'Antoni who is a chronic failure but still gets chance after chance despite failing. If he doesn't get a job this year I'm sure he will be back somewhere in the next few years.

[timtonymanu]

Doc will land somewhere based on name recognition. Philly would be a good fit. Enough talent for him to underachieve with like he has for all of his teams outside the 08 Celtics.

[Chillen]

Surprised by this move but Pringles is probably the guy to get for this team. Rivers is a good head coach but he has his struggles. All those blown 3-1 leads though over the years has him out the door for sure.

Maybe Phil Jackson. He's one of the best at winning it all when you're expected to.

Sure, but they can minimally get a comparable offer from the Bucks (conflicting reports of interest), 76ers or some unknown team. This is probably the last team they want to help. :lmao At thinking that pu pu platter would get them in the ballpark for Towns, if/when.

Uh, you can be flawed for multiple reasons, as I outlined. Scumbag isn't solving the lack of play making.

The Raptors were established; the Heat aren't and by all accounts, Butler has played a significant part in helping to forge or foster the chemistry.

Maybe not all the way, but even halfway could have made a difference.

What exactly are you calling a poo-poo platter when they have a million picks? They just need palatable out going contracts that isn’t going to make the Wolves think twice.


Uh, you can be flawed for multiple reasons, as I outlined. Scumbag isn't solving the lack of play making.

They had Brogdon/Middleton who could get their own shots & have actually thrived in the postseason without Giannis unlike Siakam. Lopez could have gotten his playing PnP with Kawhi ala Ibaka. If anything it would have opened up driving lanes for Bledsoe to penetrate. At the end of the day, they struggled b/c Giannis couldn’t do shyt in the half-court which is Kawhi’s speciality (he had more half-court assists than Lowry vs. Sixers/Bucks).

Yeah, to the victor go the spoils. We all know how those narrative work. Lowry was an asshole & a choker but now all of a sudden he’s Joe Dumars despite the only thing changing being he was Kawhi’s teammate for a season. Chris Paul meanwhile will be slandered to his grave b/c he wasn’t granted the same privilege.:lol

[LkrFan]

We need to stop calling him "Doc" Rivers. He's done nothing to have a nickname. Glenn Anton Rivers is his name.

Glenn "I lost three different 3-1 leads" deserved to be fired. The great part? Short of Phil Jackson taking over (he won't; doesn't like the Logo), who can they get this year to get them over the 2nd round hump? Ty Lue? He's gonna run a variation of the sets Glenn ran.

And with the roster they have in place, it's flawed despite what Ballmer paid the media to say. Lemon Pepper Lou is useless if he's not hitting shots. Ditto for Trez and neither plays defense. Paul George is shot mentally - fully feeling the pressure of all the draft capital Logo gave up to get him - and the expectations that came with it. We are seeing first hand why he didn't have the balls to don the P&G. He doesn't like the heavy expectations. I'd trade Kuz and JR Smith for him tho. Sike! :lol

And Kawhi has a degenerative condition that will probably always need load management. Zaza really did him wrong man. Damn.

Karma bit them in the ass. All that conniving they did with Uncle Dennis. Delaying the Lakers from signing Seth Curry (or other free agents) as they waited for his decision. Then they bragged about getting Kawhi to Bron's face, etc. And after all that the Lakers still made it to the Finals and their team is in shambles.

You hate to see it :cry

I cannot believe it but agree 100% with the above take. Clippers had a one year window (perhaps two is all went right) and it is near closed and was never as open as the fawning media made it out to be.

[Clipper Nation]

Not sure where people are getting all this Pringles stuff from. Last time the Logo was involved in a coaching search, he surprised everyone by hiring Kerr. The time before that, he hired Hubie Brown when everyone had assumed he was done with coaching. I suspect the choice won't be anyone the media's talking about.

Obradovic is a free agent right now, just saying.

We are seeing first hand why he didn't have the balls to don the P&G. He doesn't like the heavy expectations. I'd trade Kuz and JR Smith for him tho. Sike! :lol

And Kawhi has a degenerative condition that will probably always need load management. Zaza really did him wrong man. Damn.

Karma bit them in the ass. All that conniving they did with Uncle Dennis. Delaying the Lakers from signing Seth Curry (or other free agents) as they waited for his decision. Then they bragged about getting Kawhi to Bron's face, etc. And after all that the Lakers still made it to the Finals and their team is in shambles. You hate to see it :cry



I cannot believe it but agree 100% with the above take. Clippers had a one year window (perhaps two is all went right) and it is near closed and was never as open as the fawning media made it out to be.

:toast

Not sure where people are getting all this Pringles stuff from. Last time the Logo was involved in a coaching search, he surprised everyone by hiring Kerr. The time before that, he hired Hubie Brown when everyone had assumed he was done with coaching. I suspect the choice won't be anyone the media's talking about.

Obradovic is a free agent right now, just saying.

I love West.
But if he getting credit for hiring Kerr Stealing KD and stealing Zubac...
He also is to blame for overpaying for sucker ass PG13 and running a ship that allowed Uncle Dennis and Playoff Pee to run amok..
Can't have it both ways..
West is like 80 years old.
He wasn't running the day by day for Clippers or Golden state. He is an advisor with a sterling reputation...built on being the best GM for a very long time. Last time he was truly running shit was in Memphis.
But it sounds better than Lawrence Frank running Basketball Ops.

Jerry definitely signed off on this just like he signed off on Mark Jackson’s firing. #blkcoachkilla

Honestly, Tim Duncan should go head coach there, re-connect with his friend, get out of a toxic situation with Poop tbh.

Timmay was playing 4-D chess & planted a seed in Uncle Dennis so he can coach a super team ala Nash/Durant. (He was the only one of the Big 3 not to throw subliminal shots)

[Capt Bringdown]

Doc has a lot of charisma and is very manipulative I"m sure he could con somebody into hiring him. Look at a guy like D'Antoni who is a chronic failure but still gets chance after chance despite failing. If he doesn't get a job this year I'm sure he will be back somewhere in the next few years.

Any coach who loses 3 different 3-1 leads is not qualified to coach in the NBA. If he gets rehired, it will be due to racial politics.

I agree with you he should not ever coach again but it’s like anything in life which it comes down to politics more so than job performance. Doc will get another chance due to him knowing how to play politics.

With enough black coaches, people like Doc won't have a chance.

:lol Per Shams, he’ll meet with Philly

[Rummpd]

Doc will get another job probably a promotion to some extent as he is overly respected despite playoff flameouts.

Doc is a slick talker. He will talk another team into hiring him despite all his failures. From the sound of things, the Sixers are going to let him ruin Embiid and Simmons' careers.

Philly doesn't have a well-respected front office, so I could see Doc demanding some control over their roster too. Then he'll trade for Austin and give him another overpaid contract. When the Philly media starts asking him about this nepotism, he'll just say "look at the mess of a roster I inherited; we like Austin's defense, we really do."

Blake/Choke-P3 redux, he’s going to blame their short coming on injuries while playing Ennis over Thybulle:lol

Well it only took him a minute to get a new job.

[Chris Fall]

LMAO Ballmer asked Doc to draft Michael Porter Jr. and Doc and front office told him that MPJ was undraftable.

[Rusty]

Yeah and look who hired him, Elton Brand. Black man hiring another black man. That's the only reason he got the job

:lmao At racists logic or lack thereof. Somehow all these white guys getting hired isn't due to this, but this one was conveniently was.

1) Rivers is mixed. 2) Ownership plays a role (sometimes significantly so) in head coaching decisions. 3) Right or wrong, Rivers is a high profile coach and big market/star teams generally hire those types.

The genius Pop has coached teams who've been swept 4 times, something Rivers coached teams have never had done to them.

[MultiTroll]

Interesting side point.

The Clippers reportedly fired Doc Rivers in part because of Michael Porter Jr.

I can’t believe the clippers fired Doc, but I shouldn’t be surprised a white supremacist organization with a racist past would fire yet another black coach tbh.
