Doc Rivers giving uconn some love

He failed by not playing him more this year. Most overrated coached in the NBA!

I agree with you even though I know nothing about any of the coaches in the NBA.
Ownership was probably thinking of a totally different complete turnaround when they replaced Griffin with him..........

He’s trying to save some credibility after doing a horrible job

I still don't get why the fired Budenholzer. Before he led them to a title, the last time they won one, Julius Irving was still at UMass.

Had to be the players and there are two really big name players on that team. They had to have had a part in it. I mean they were like 32-13. That does not come just from ownership or management…..no way imo..

Then he gave him 7 minutes in the next game.

This was posted here last week after the Bucks lost. It's still the same stupid comment. Then why didn't he play Andre more? Just trying to deflect that he did a horrible job coaching the Bucks.

Doc pulls Andre

For a little dust up amid a big run. Puts in cannaughton. Indy lighting him up. Bet doc says it was a rookie mistake vs keeping Dre in a locking up Indy in defense during the run. this dude.

He’s been riding one champ with 3 Hall of fame players his entire career. They were 31-13 before he took over and under .500 after

Unfortunately, Andre was terrible in those seven minutes.

For AJax to be more consistent, he needed to be seasoned throughout the season. We can all agree that didn't happen at all, which I believe hurt this team this year and in the long run.

I do think he will be an important piece on a championship team in the future.

Doc has basically been a disaster since that one championship. Pierce and KG are so insufferable you would think that team won 5 rings. The only one who looks good is Ray.

That was Adrian Griffin. Bud was fired after they lost to the Heat last year. A 1-8 loss is bad, no question, but the Heat were not a typical 8 seed, as the Celtics found out soon enough. And it's not like Bud could have been worse than Doc

 

[alphasigko]

Doc screwed that team all up. He also did a great disservice to Ajax.... However, thier early exit from the playoffs was mainly due to Giannis not playing at all in that series.

 

[Stinger92860]

AJ needs to develop an NBA level jump shot over the summer. I’m not saying he will be as good as Ray or Hawk, but I’d love to see him copy/work out with them. He could be unstoppable!

That title was kinda fluky. 75% of the league had at least one major injury bc they started the season 2 months after the last season ended. Giannis and Trae Young barely played in the ECF.

 

[IndyLives]

Ajax was badly developed this year, imo.If he wasn't going to get consistent minutes, he would have been much better off playing in the G league all year where he could have developed his game.

Doc is very overrated imo. He didn't do anything in LA or Philly with very talented rosters. Worse, he doesn't develop young players. That's why I fear for Ajax right now.

So just to be clear... The team was 32-13 before the firing of Griffin, 2nd place in the east. Rivers led them to a 49-33 record (thus going 17-20), getting passed by the Knicks in the regular season and ending only 1 game ahead of Cleveland, and he still has a job?

I say that tongue in cheek. The amount of PT Jackson got was just the icing on the cake for mismanagement in going 17-20... Just my $.02...
