And then the Manu for Brendan Haywood...lol

Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
I really wish Doc was the spurs coach. Tbh

Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Thankfully we kept Pop as coach or else we would have never won four titles. Plus, Doc was a quitter when he left after Celtics started to bolt. Doc is overrated by many people on ST. He was fortunate to land into a Celtics that went all out and got Garnett and Allen. Now he is with the Clippers and can't even get them to WCF despite having some of the greatest talent in the NBA.

Doc would've drawn up a good play tonight, tbh

You can thank Choke Paul for that my friend. Doc didin't draw that CP3 turnover half court in OKC

Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Agreed... "play harder, play harder" was probably better than that...

VDN quit coaching the Clippers a couple of years ago

Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Has Tom Rivers done any better than Vinny so far?
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Wasn't Pop almost fired until Duncan fell on his lap?
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
who are you comparing to Tim Duncan?
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
No one is comparing, where are you getting this from?
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
I thought you were trying to make an analogy...
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
I just wanna know why Pop has no idea what to do with Kawhi, tbh. He needs to be more than just a role player, tbh.

He's waiting until after they give him the max next summer, IMO
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Nope. Just saying Pop had a once in a generation type of player. You asked what Doc has done, his team is flawed and it's only his second year as the head coach
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
I didn't say a thing about Pop. I asked if Tom Rivers has done any better than Vinny del Negro on the Clippers so far?
Sometimes it is all about the players... after all, Thibs... err, I mean Tom did win one in Boston...
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Yeah that Thibs... Such a career ender. He's literally the Rex Ryan of the NBA. Both end players' careers, defensive gurus, don't have an offensive bone in their bodies. It's almost impossible to teach BG, Crawford, Reddick defense tbh
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Don't have anything against Tom or the Clippers, tbh... just wondering when Ubuntu will get them past the 2nd round... I thought that's why they replaced Vinny...
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
I'm sure Pop, who is an expert at controlling players' emotions (Stephen Jackson) , could've kept the guys focused if Holt was a racist. They lost to the MVP tbh
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Maybe Tom should've said no when his known racist owner offered the contract... would've saved himself a lot of trouble, apparently...
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
Damn this whole time I thought he got traded there, my mistake. Talking about trades, didin't Pop trade a first round pick for Stephen Jackson? A guy he cut the week before the playoffs started and a known playoff performer?
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
In before the "he got rid of RJ's contract" comment. Apparently Utah would've held him for you
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
IIRC, the pick was conditional, and the Spurs always pick at the end of the 1st round anyways... we did save $10M on that trade (which is about the value of 1 or 2 1st round picks)
-
Re: Was Doc Rivers one game from replacing Popovich as Spurs head coach?
and who got 'traded' there? coaches are not tradeable assets...
