Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

A real insight on Doc Rivers...

Before I begin, I would like people to responde to this with an open mind and not with an ignorant mindset. That being said... I personally cannot grasp the fact that if a coach suffers through a sereies of 18 game loosing streak a few years back, the same coach can lead you to a franchise team and/or set you up for future success. Yes lets not state the obvious that we won a championship in 08, but who really contributed to that championship. I solely give garnett, paul and allan the credit for the championship run. Rivers offensive sets arent tht great because it all consists of jumpshots, and not rebounding. I am not saying he is a bad coach by any means but dont you think an upgrade in the coaching staff will help the team tremoundously? I remember reading an article I think two years back with doc stating how he just sometimes let the players run their own plays and make last minute decisions. I wish I could cite it but I cant find it. Also Tom T. helped us become a stong team the last few years so all the credit should not go to rivers because now that we lack a defensive mind coach, rivers flaws are becoming more obvious. Alot of coaches have done more with far less talent. I am simply suggesting an upgrade to the coaching staff to better our team for the long run... what are your thoughts.

This isn't insight. It's more personal opinion.

One of Pietrus’s chief reasons for signing with the Celtics was Doc Rivers. Players in this league want to play for him. They respect him. And wasn’t Pierce injured for much of that 18 game losing streak? We had players like Sebastian Telfair and Wally Szerbiak starting. It was terrible talent.

But since you have “real insight”, what coaches would you bring in? Tell us how you are smarter than Danny Ainge and Doc.

agree

it wasnt just pierce. it was everyone. it got to the point where tony allen was the go-to guy and averaged 20 ppg for a while and then he tore his acl on a dunk in the middle of that streak.

erronius..

we could use a new defensive coach sure..but doc is the man..I’m sure if we had a better record you wouldn’t have even dared to post this!!..I’M SURE OF THAT!

docs biggest problem...

Is that he has the wrong point guard to play to the big 3’s current game set abilities, and he doesn’t have enough young experienced talented players to run with Rondo. Docs stuck between the old / new, without any practice time to tinker with the lineups, the team is having to practice during the game…
