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...
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.
