How about Doc takes the next season off and the deal for Stevens is “championship or back to college ball” followed by bringing back Doc and Thibs (no Knicks coach lasts)? We’re about to watch the Lakers tie us for total championships, so clearly we cannot keep losing the ECFs. This is truly unacceptable. One more chance to win it all or he goes to be Coach K’s assistant and successor at Duke, totally saving face, and we go back to Doc with Ainge himself and Doc on the hot seat for 2021-2022?
Seriously, folks...we are not going to have the most championships of all-time in a matter of days and we better get our act together to not fall to number two, a once unthinkable event...
Have you watched basketball the past 8 years or so? Because Doc and Thibs haven't been good coaches for a long time. No way are they the solution to our problems.
Well, hopefully we don’t falter in the second-round to Doc and the 6ers because Jaylen does his best impression of Kyrie in the locker-room and Stevens doesn’t have that final ingredient to seal the deal. How humiliating would it be to lose to the 76ers with Doc?
Yeah, because Jaylen Brown was the main reason we lost to Miami . Since you're starting to sound like a broken record, I'll say this: explain why he failed so badly in Los Angeles. Where was that "final ingredient" there?
Simple: PG-13 is a loser and Kawhi knows it. Frankly, I bet if Kawhi knew we’d take him on in exchange for Brown, he’d force the trade in order to try to foil LeBron/AD next year. His Clippers move is a disaster because of PG-13.
PG13 is not the only reason LAC lost. Doc failed to use Lou Will and Montrezl well, his defensive schemes were awful for containing Murray, and Jokic tore them apart. Doc is a perennial choke artist.
Without Doc, KG and Ray don’t gel with PP, and Perk/Rondo probably don’t blossom, so without Doc we’d be a team with fewer championships than the Lakers (2008 under their belt, another three-peat for them 2008-2010).
We’ve won nothing without Doc. Not since the 1980s, anyway, and we’re now in the 2020s. He’s a player’s coach and we need someone like that, not Stevens. Hopefully I’m wrong but I can’t stand more than one more season of losing.
