The story here isn’t Doc, it’s who exactly is reporting this? Who works for CNN Sports?

Firing your coach so you can hire.... Doc Rivers????

This guy hasn't done shit in over a decade.

Start the countdown on Giannis leaving.

Really regretting that contract extension he signed.

 

[Voight]

well that's odd. wasn't he giannis's choice too?

i wonder if he was just impossible to work with, considering the way terry stotts resigned as one of his assistants before the season even began

but lol @ bringing in doc. enjoy blowing a 3-1 lead in the playoffs

Enjoy bowing out in the 2nd round year after year

Man, Doc Rivers gets a lot of mileage out of 2008.

Hes by far the most overrated coach in NBA history. Hell, the league even named him a top 15 coach of all time for no apparent reason.

He hasn't even made a CF since he left Boston; Clippers & 76ers were both stacked with talent.

I think the report was AI generated.

It would be so Sixers to lose to Doc in the 2nd round.

The firing doesn't seem to be the issue. By the sounds of it Griffin totally lost his players early in to the year (Stotts got canned because they allegedly couldn't co-exist)

The issue is firing this guy for a guy who got carried to a ring 15 years ago and has done nothing of note since.

Wonder how many millions this deal will be.

Griffin and his veteran players were never on the same page, and now Doc Rivers is in charge in Milwaukee

Never seen a team get more mileage out of a title than the 2008 Celtics. Doc is definitely the main one, but Pierce, Perkins and (to a lesser extent) Rondo also got a ton.

The rest of Garnett's playoff record is not great.

No Garnett is the one worthy of praise since he was devalued for his amazing prime due to having a joke of a supporting cast with the Wolves. His ring elevated his reputation to a level it already should've been at.

Please give me a Sixers/Bucks second round series though

Man, I wish I could get $40 million for something I was a passenger on fifteen years ago.

Would be entertaining. Resistible force vs. moveable object. Doc gets booed out of the building in Philly.

 

[Reality Check]

This was shocking at first. Then I was watching some old Inside the NBA episodes I had on the DVR.

Haven't been paying attention much to the NBA and learned about the Bobby Portis incident. So now the firing doesn't come off as jarring.

Still want to know what do teams see in Doc Rivers as a head coach.

Me too, I'd also love $40 million to "go away"

He's the only reason the T-Wolves made the WCF.

Sometimes the jokes write themselves

 

[PanniniClaus]

This is going great.

As their playoff performance this year showed, if you have the opportunity to can your first year head coach mid season to implement Doc Rivers, you simply can’t pass it up
