Woj Bomb: Doc is "Out" with Clippers

[slamtheking]

Clippers should hire a motivated Benoit Bejamin as Head Coach.

There's no such thing as a motivated Benoit Benjamin though.

yeah, did a spit take when I saw 'motivated' in the same sentence as Benoit Benjamin

Fully understandable really. Even the Lob City Clippers never did as well as they should have (in my opinion) under Doc. So he won 1 championship here, when he should have won more, had Orlando's record between 41-44 wins every full season he was there, indicating that they basically plateaued from the get-go, and has disappointed with 2 different title contenders in LA.

Wonder if anyone will give him a shot

Choking that 3-1 lead to the Rockets several years ago was enough to be fired imo. I don't know who would want him. His premiere strength has always been being a player coach, and that seemed to fatally failed him with this Clippers team.

Yeah, he's choked a lot of leads. Way too many to be acceptable if we're honest. Maybe Indiana?

I think the Sixers are interested.

I couldn't imagine him being fired without the opinions of Kawhi and PG13 factoring into it. Those guys will have the chance to decline their 3rd year options end of this year and since it's a player driven league this probably wouldn't have happened without their blessing.

This is not surprising. Aside from 2008, Doc has continually underperformed.
