why do you think the black players only want black coaches?..just trying to keep another brother employed, nothing to see here...
Seriously, not even a top 50 coach of all time...
My bro was watching Jalen and Jacoby and the got Jalen Rose put Doc rivers in the same sentence as POP...
We already Black people are good at basketball...Jesus.

Doc at least has the balls to stand up to his players. Same with Lionel Hollins. I cannot see the team running Doc or Lionel. They don't have the resume's but they have the potential.
OP, which posters' acceptance/attention are you shooting for with this thread?
I don't care that he's black, but he is not in the same class as Pop.
Still in the top 5 in todays NBA tbh
Bottom 50 coaches of all time maybe. Any coach would've led those 08' celtics to an NBA championship, with 3 HOF'ers in the last days of their primes who were fighting for life it seemed like.
Doc helped Griffin and Jordan improve. He also got Chris Paul to dribble less and give the ball up to Griffin.
Though he never has given one away like Pop. Pop dishes it---let him take it.
Hard to reply to this since it's steeped in racism, yet holds some truth to it.
Doc Rivers is absolutely overrated, and it's clearly because he's a black coach (the same way with all the Mark Jackson media handjobbing). But he is at least the best black coach. Definitely does not belong in the same sentence as Pop though. GTFO with that .
Doc is much closer to Spoelstra than Pop. Won a le, but out of the east with marginal compe ion until the Finals and with a superteam. His players make him more than he makes his players. Unlike say, Pop, or Carlisle.
But, lynching Sterling to cover up your shortcomings was the epitome of bad form. If he hadn't been alone and the line so ing long I'd really have a case.
1) I dont like coaches who talk . The Celitcs lost to 2010 Lakers and Doc runs his mouth the next season about how the Lakers "still havent beaten us at full strength" or some stupid like that.
2) If I didnt like him before, his childish MELTDOWN from that out-of-bounds call sealed the deal. Your team blew a 14 point lead in the final three minutes. One out-of-bounds call did NOT cost you the game. Your insistence on screaming "that was our damn ball...that was our damn ball" on the final two possessions might have.
Missed calls are part of the game. Its true for any sport.
Hey dsf, how come you aren't posting over at phx-suns.net? We need you over there, bud.
Doc always has an excuse when they lose. "cry Oh our racist owner was a distraction even though I collected paychecks as a player and a coach from him"
"My starting 5 never lost!"Doc always has an excuse when they lose. "cry Oh our racist owner was a distraction even though I collected paychecks as a player and a coach from him

I didnt know it was BACK!!!
If not for this one game against the Rockets, he might have taken Pop's job back in '98.
I didn't say anything about Sterling. It's like you're replying to someone else's post.
I know, I did. If you think we're gonna forget about Sterling's lynching in Los Angeles you are out of your mind. He's still swinging there, that hemp rope cutting into his flesh. You should have Doc cut him down. Don't you know he's served Doc's purpose by now.
Doc Rivers was never a great coach. I watched him coach the Magic. Doc Rivers only won championships because his players made up for is coaching. Gregg Pop..actions speak for themselves.
Yea its just some affirmative action/ white guilt bull . Coon rivers is merely an average coach that road tibs coattails to a ring in boston.
Pop has five rings and is 5-1 in the Finals. Doc has one ring because he was in the right place at the right time and is 1-1 in the Finals.
Oh I see what you're getting at now, you're saying Doc's a dbag for leaving him out to dry. Well, yeah Doc Rivers did use that situation to his advantage.
I don't know why you're telling me to tell Doc to cut him down though. I don't know the dude.
Alvin Gentry > Tom Rivers, tbh..
