Doc For Coach of the Year?

Are you kidding me???? This guy will be fired before he becomes coach of the year in this city. With this team he SHOULD win. NO EXCUSES!!!!!

omg hahaha

not yet. If he burns out his starters by the end of November they should take his coaching license away. the thing he does best is create a good atmosphere for the players although Perk was clearly ticked off ( and missed 2 free throws as a result) when Doc told him to move his fat A— last night. I thought last night was Doc’s worst game as a coach. the team wasn’t rready to play and Doc didn’t used his bench well.

 :D :D :D You’re kidding, right??

no, no, and no. he is not fireable, but he is not sliced toast either.

Seriously, what Jack said seems to be the sentiment. Normally I’d feel sorry for Rivers because he’s simply not a good enough coach to reach the ridiculous expectations of both management and fans. Pressure to win every game is right out there for everyone to see as he plays his best players ridiculous minutes in blowouts. But after last season, I don’t feel sorry for him at all. Tanking is a disgrace and unbecoming of the greatest franchise in sports’ history under any circumstances.

The Peter Principle caught up to Rivers right after his last “coach of the year” award. He just simply isn’t good enough to coach at a championship level….or even a playoff level.

Shak…was in Cleveland and headed to Chicago…2 things though…#1-coaches don’t tank…never ever,it’s GM’s & owners
         #2- the Yankees are far & away the greatest franchise in sports history…
  but i’m not concerned about mins until jan – march and on extended roadtrips…then we got a problem….be good

I’m with Jimmy — Cs are out of the gate fast, but at what cost? PGA are playing way too minutes and while that may pad Docs W-L column now, it will come back to haunt us later in the season in the form of injuries and exhaustion.

Doc can’t coach — Period!! Look at the incredible All Star line up of players he has, yet he continues to have absolutely no game plan and when it comes the the last 3 minutes of a close game he is clueless. The C’s do not pursue offensive rebounds at all. While watching them this year you can easily see every opponent hitting the offensive boards and getting second and third chances to score. But not the C’s. Doc has no clue when it comes to hitting the boards and is pathetic when it comes to “D”. The C’s are winning in spite of Doc. When the season gets down to the wire he will find more ways to lose because of his complete incompetence. everyone goes back to how great he was his first year with Orlando, but he inhereted and great team from Brian Hill and proceeded to run it into the ground over the next two seasons. The finals will not be feasible with Doc in charge. We need a real coach.

Get rid of Doc now and commence a strong and historical season!!! >:(

Probably not a lot of George Bush fans here either.

Doc isn’t as bad as these sorry comments say but I don’t see him as coach of year unless we are in NBA Finals. He doesn’t just have 3 stars, he has a damn good bench. It’s on him. At least we no longer need be confused if it’s Danny or Doc. Danny held up his end.
 
Easy though on the hot sauce, fellow bloggers. We are 11-2 and Perk and Ray missed those free throws, not Doc.

The day Doc starts taking advice from people on this website is the day he should be fired. He’s a so-so coach that is now going to have to deal with very high expectations when he doesn’t have a team good enough to fulfill them. Yes, the Celtics are now a very good team but nowhere near championship caliber yet. They need a better point guard and a solidified bench. They have gotten off to a very good start but let’s see how they do when teams have had the chance to study more film of their tendencies.

How about Doc for first coach to get fired this year. Is that possible with a 11-2 record?

Er, it’s early. Yes, the C’s have won some games, but the victory parade is ways off.
If the Celts win 60 games & have a deep playoff run, sure. Give him a prize.

Late to the party here, but let me add my 2 cents about the absurd nature of this idea.

Ray Allen is currently 3rd in the NBA in minutes. He plays more minutes than LeBron James. You know, the guy that is the oldest of the big 3 and coming off double ankle surgery. That alone disqualifies Doc.

It is starting to enrage me to see Allen never get any rest in second halfs of games. When Tony Allen is hurt, Doc seem completely clueless as to how to adjust the lineup.
