They did the boy Kelly Oubre DIRTY, he should be participating tomorrow for Team USA

JVG would not agree.

He said the Rising Stars Game should be called A Few Rising Stars and a bunch of Role Players Game

Also, selective aggression in game 7 against the Rockets.

He was great against the Spurs that one year, I can't front.

Bad last minute for sure, and in that minute he "choked"

But he also tied the series with his 4th quarter performance the game before.

Can't say he choked the entire series away, he just had a bad moment. But virtually every elite player in the league has had those moments in the postseason.

And the overarching point is that Game 6 against Hou, or Game 5 against OKC, isn't on Doc.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The Clips have averaged 56 wins a year under doc and that's with Blake and / or CP being out due to injury every year that he's been the head coach. You have to be a pretty good coach for this to happen.

Hell, this season the Clips are 3 games back in the loss column of Houston for the 3 seed w/ both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin missing significant time already. You have to be a pretty good for this to happen.

Sound like a team that should have a couple rings...or at least conference finals appearances to me

 

[tyevvyotcu]

You said he didn't do anything after leaving Boston. I'm assuming if that's the case then you agree Doc has done nothing either. The development of Rose and Butler had nothing to do with Thibs?

Butler maybe
Rose, no.
If that's the case , can we not give Doc credit for DJ, Blake, Rondo etc..?

Okafor got in

Rather watch Oubre shoot & dunk then watch Jah post up

Are you a Clippers/CP3/Doc Rivers fan in disguise?

Refs were terrible down the stretch in this game .

Cp3 did too much. Jamal went full Jamal. OKC kept coming. And Russ flopped/didn't stop being aggressive.

That Reggie Jackson call was BS. Game woulda been over if they gave the ball to the clips.

Cp3 made some costly mistakes though. Trying to draw a 3pt foul 70ft from the basket

I agree. We can't show Vince carter peeing himself at the line, Lebron frustrated when kiwi checks in and Steph throwing the trophy behind his back and not mention this dude shooting a 75 foot jumper. Or the play before casually went to the corner and let Jamal go Jamal against length.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

You guys are just basing your critique off a wins/loss perspective. As previously mentioned, Doc has talent around him to sustain the wins.

every good team has talent bro lol
Only dude that probably doesn't need elite talent to win is Carlisle and maaaaaybe brad stevens.

How?

The Clippers were never the best or arguably even the 2nd best team in the west during Doc's tenure that far.

You would never pick a healthy Clips team over the spurs, thunder, and now the Warriors.

Regardless, the Clips health has been a big reason in lac having no homecourt after the first round, making an already tough 2nd round even tougher.

With his super team and 50+ wins, you'd think he would be

Right. What's the difference between someone playing bad and choking?

wasn't that the same series where okc choked a 20 pt 4th quarter lead and kd let cp3 lock him up????

 

[P C H]

Are you a Clippers/CP3/Doc Rivers fan in disguise?

Clips fan, yes.

Is any of that wrong though. How is the CP ******* up in game 5 against OKC on Doc? Or the Clips blowing a 3-1 lead against Houston on Doc?

 

[P C H]

wasn't that the same series where okc choked a 20 pt 4th quarter lead and kd let cp3 lock him up????

Yeah that was literally the game before.

He didn't. KD had like 16 in the 4th I think.

CP had great individual defense though, along with help.

I'm not going to continue a discussion with someone who has a bias. If you can't look at it objectively, then what's the point? It's all moot.

P C H has made some moot points recently
