Yes, Marcus Smart is a born leader, just ask him. It's too bad though he couldn't rally the troops to halt that second half of a season meltdown they(Ok St) experienced. To be fair, he was suspended for three games for shoving that fan that insulted him, so you can't hold that against him...

Please feel free to cheap-shot our #1 draft pick, because he's like, you know, one of our own... ??? >:(

Cheap shot? These are things that happened.

triboy stated that Rondo is terrible as a leader, and that as soon as he's replaced by Smart we'd be better off. What leadership abilities has Smart exhibited? All this leadership stuff is based off of puff pieces and interviews where he talks about himself.

Sure, OK St's second half slide may not have been his fault, and the fan shoving may just be an isolated incident. It just felt like pointing to ambiguous stuff like team struggles and locker room bickering, and holding it up as facts to push an agenda was par for the course here. :-\ :( 8)

Well, I'm not in favor of savaging RR or MS here.  You complain about Triboy, but you act in exactly the same manner.  I guess you're cut from the same piece of cloth, so to speak...

I savaged Marcus Smart? That's a pretty liberal use of the word, I'd say. The negative things that I wrote in the first post were facts. They aren't even controversial. I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings.

No need to apologize - you didn't hurt my feelings.  I'm just sorry that you want to pretend that your action was something other than what it was.  But hey, that's your prerogative...

If we had chris paul, doc prob would of stayed. Maybe wyc is still bitter that Doc left
I would take Rondo and Stevens over Paul and Doc any day.

In fact. He is no doctor. I refuse to call him Doc any more

TP !

Top 5 player and top 5 coach in Chris Paul and Doc vs top 20 (maybe) player and top 10 coach.
Not sure if you're serious.
Glenn Rivers is a cruddy coach. If you give him several of the best players in the game for several years he might get you one whole ring. Whoop de doo. Then he'll complain later, jump ship when he quits on you, and act all surprised that anyone gets upset about it. Give me Stevens any day.

I don't know, I actually kind of enjoyed seeing the Celts win a first championship in 20 years.
I still believe that it would have been two titles in a row but for a terrible injury to Perk down the stretch of game 6 against the Lakers.  Not all on-court events are within the locus of a head coach's control.  By the way, it seems that Rivers is doing a nice job with the Clippers so far...
I agree with what you're saying, but I think any competent coach could have done what he did. I also don't see him doing anything impressive with the Clips. He's got a phenomenal team not going anywhere so far.

Ahh, someone who IS willing to stand behind what he's already posted...thank you for that.  It's a refreshing change from, well, you know.  No problem, we can simply agree to disagree on these issues.  It will be very interesting, especially in the wake of the Sterling Affair and team sale, to see how Doc fares in his handling of that squad.

Uhh, everything?

Maybe it's a biased but I find nothing with what he said

That doesn't surprise me; I watch the 11 o'clock news.
 

Good for you then.  ::)

not to nitpick but it was KG's injury in 2009 that cost us back-to-backs.  Perk was injured in the 2010 finals which I agree, cost us the title that year.

if not for those 2 injuries (as well as to the one to Powe in 2009) I think there would have been a 3-peat.  then again, same could be said for the injuries derailing 3 title runs for the C's in the Bird-era --> Tiny in '83, Max in '85, Walton/Mchale/DJ (not to mention Bias) in '87.  injuries are an unfortunate part of the game.

I agree if KG doesn't hurt his knee - C's win 3 in a row, people forget how dominate they were before KG went down....
