Bradley a real one, he'll be back to his career year soon enough.

If he and Smart can coexist better, their perimeter defense will be phenomenal which will help the their weakness on the back end.

They should sign Larry Sanders just to see if he could provide some rim protection.

Horford is a good player but that contract won't be looked at favorably unless they can move him eventually.
 
After watching Paul Pierce grow emotional during his final game in Boston earlier this month, Doc Rivers reminded reporters with a laugh he had seen someone cry on the court before.

"I saw Big Baby cry one time," Rivers cracked, referencing the time Kevin Garnett had berated Glen "Big Baby" Davis to the point of tears.

The joke led to a chorus of laughs, but Davis might not have appreciated the burn. Apparently, he and Rivers -- who clashed several times while working together as coach and player -- have hit a rough spell in their relationship. During an interview on Chris Broussard's podcast, "In the Zone," Davis lit into his former coach, saying that he considers Rivers overrated as a coach and believes Rivers was "lucky as hell" to lead the 2008 Boston Celtics to a championship.

"Because what Doc had in '08 was special," Davis said on the podcast. "And he was lucky as hell. Lucky as hell. The year before that they were wearing trash bags (in the crowd). ... But then the next year they win it, now he's one of the best coaches ever? I'm just not feeling that, you know what I mean? You give credit to KG. You give credit to Paul Pierce. You give credit to Ray Allen. Those are the guys that made sure whatever Doc needed to be done got done. And so now it's easy for Doc to do his job."

"And then you give credit to Danny Ainge. That's the one you give credit to because I know multiple times he had to talk to Doc just to say, 'Hey Doc, leave them alone. Hey Doc, ease up. Like, there's points where you ease up.' I would play good games and Doc wouldn't even give me like, hey. I'd play great games and he'd be: 'Go do it again.' You know? You want to hear that, 'Hey, great job kid. Good job, man. Keep it up.' But not, 'Go do it again.' So I'm off that Doc tip man. He's a great guy but as far as just that basketball stuff, I just try to leave (it).

Davis did call Rivers "a great guy" but said he has "cooled off" on his former coach. Davis did not like the way his time with the Los Angeles Clippers ended.

"I don't like what he's doing right now," Davis said. "I don't like his organization, what he's doing, his teams. We had something in '08 and that was it. You know what I mean? That's what that is. So far, like, I didn't like how the way he handled me on my exit. Yeah, hold yourself accountable, but at the same time I had a broken ankle. I won a championship with you and you don't even really call me. I've got to beg you to call me. My agent has to beg you to call me. My ankle's broke. And you just told me -- they pulled me to the side when I played against Houston and told me, 'You're not playing the way you need to play. You're not doing this.' My ankle was broke. My ankle was broke. And they're shooting me up, shooting me up, shooting me up every day to play. My ankle was broke."

"They just did an X-ray (for the ankle)," added Davis. "They didn't do an MRI. And it was just like, 'Oh, can you run? Can you play?' The next day they had me working out after I broke my ankle. They had me trying to play Game 7. It was crazy and I'm just not feeling that. When you win a championship with somebody, you don't treat nobody like that. No matter if it's a business or not, because it's bigger than basketball between us, Doc. I have never left you at the altar. I've never left you at the altar. You know what I mean? I've never left. You go get Spencer Hawes, he does nothing. You've got to trade him. You've still got me on the bench knowing that I can play, but you still go play Spencer Hawes knowing that you're just trying to cover your own butt because Spencer's not panning out the way you wanted him to pan out. And I just don't like that. I'm not feeling that."

Melo finding out he replaced Love in the all star game

I never thought Doc was a great coach to begin with.

He ran away from Boston when things started to get ugly and the big 3 got old. I will expect him to do the same if the CP3 and Blake end up leaving the Clippers this offseason. Just never seen him as the type to get the most out of his players and was on the receiving end of having great talent.
 
Melo was just talking bout he had a nice lil vacay and rest period set up for all star break too...now he gotta go play a few mins of the bench :lol:
 
Why hasn't he caught on with any other team then? Maybe because he was approaching 30 at the time and had gotten fatter and fatter every season? I don't really have a lot of sympathy for him. The guy narrowly avoided a single digit PER during his time in LA, but it's a crime that he fell out of the rotation? Not to mention the maturity issues that he's always had. There's just not a huge demand for morbidly obese players in their 30s who complain all the time.
