I Guess I'm An Idiot

Of course the obvious question would have been, “Then when is it the coach’s fault?” This is the wrong time in Doc’s career to be hedging his bets.

I guess Doc is setting himself up for another lottery year and one-year extension.

He’s just smart enough to know this remains, at best, a .500 club.
Otherwise, he’s enough of an idiot to not be able to get more out of this club, draft pick or not.
Here we go…

The idiotic thinking was in extending a coach you already has under contract. Easiest way to succeed is to lower the bar

Please Doc dont speak, its depressing us all to hear your thoughts
on anything basketball related. remember col. Klink from Hogans
Heroes,thats how doc coaches.

This “story” shows why Bulpert and The Herald are minor league in the newspaper world. The Globe has a reporter covering the NBA Finals while Bulpert wastes time and space trying to nail Doc down on predictions for next season.

Right about it sounds like a perfect time to have this coach bite the bullet and walk.

another comment.

2 weeks from signing an extension and hes already playing the “its not on me” card???

Fire the bum already. Do us all the favor.

“I think itâ€â"¢s on both of us”—Partial quote from Doc from Bulpett article.
Now read the article in the Globe about the Spurs/Cavs game last night. Now read Peter May’s 6/10 Globe article about the Spurs. Now tell me what’s different other than that the Spurs are a much better team than the C’s.

Can someone remind me why this clown was re-signed? >:(

Truth be told, it isn’t what Doc said that was so wrong, it’s more a question of who said it. At this juncture, the “vision” has faded and the prophet (and his coaching desciples) are in full retreat and NOTHING that they say will be believed short of on-the-court PRODUCTION!

Chief, “itâ€â"¢s on both of us”—-two parties are involved, Doc and the players. I would add DA to the list. I really don’t see what the problem is here other than that there’s not much else to talk about so let’s pick on Doc today. We should probably schedule Danny for tommorrow and Wyc for Wed. and “lady luck” or lack thereof on Thurs.

moskqq, I don’t know about the retreat part, but, as you say, let’s see what happens on the court. Also, we shouldn’t forget that this is a team effort that includes more than Doc and the players.

So I guess Rivers’ new mantra is “No more excuses, but it isn’t my fault.”

1. Replace Rivers
2. Trade Pierce
3. Draft Conley

all anger seeks an object and doc is it. just keep quiet, pull a bellichek if you must talk, and say little. save it for the boys in green who need someone to get them in gear.

Wait a minute. I’m confused. According to the team, the only reason this squad didn’t make the playoffs was an extreme rash of injuries. Well, if that’s the case, they must have ‘been ready’ last season. So, how can the Rivers possibly be implying that they might not be ready now?

Not everyone on Causeway Street are on the same page. Doc didn’t get the memo on how this is a playoff team albeit ravaged by injuries. Bulpett believes this team should make the playoffs too. Whether that makes him “minor league”, I don’t know. You mean Murphy isn’t covering the finals for them??

Even if the player has the requisite talent and capacity to learn Doc’s “defensive system”, they will still fail. Because it’s the system….a junk system that puts everybody out of position when the shot goes up. The NBA’s all-defensive first team wouldn’t be successful defensively using the blitzing defense full-time. Even if the player has the requisite talent and capacity to learn Doc’s rotations and adhere to Doc’s game decisions, they will still fail. When the game-decision defies logic….Defies percentages…and continually fails, it’s not on the players. It’s because the coach can’t coach.

At what point do Danny and Wyc see the obvious?

lol this is why i have givin up on this team awhile ago. they are lead by a LOSER! and ainge has fallen into that category as well. no celtics for me until they find the right people putting that team together!

He kinda has a point… it can’t all be on Doc, but he sure has his share and he knows it. If Gerald doesn’t come around, is it Doc’s fault or Gerald’s? I think it would be both in the end, but it should be more on the player than the coach, he can only help facilitate, he can’t think for the player. I think that now the players are more experienced with the offense, he will focus a lot more on the defense and things should start to click. With Rondo around showing what defense can do, it can only make the players around him more hungry. If Tony comes back healthy and we draft Brewer… that is some defense and it should bring the others around and light a fire under their butts.

NH, you have to have a coherent defensive concept before anybody is going to be successful. Doc’s team play a scheme full-time. A scheme that good teams may use 2-3 times per game. You can use a blowtorch to light a fire under the butts of the others…It really won’t matter. Because if everybody is mismatched and out of position it really doesn’t matter. It’s the system….and the idiot implementing it. Doc may not be able to think for the player, but it’d be real nice if he’d think for himself once in awhile…As in mixing in a zone from time to time and… alas…..a real NBA type defense.

Wow this is really depressing. It sounds like they are already throwing in the towel on next season. Danny better fire Doc pronto when we have another bad start. Have a feeling though Danny will stand by his man like he always does.
