Coach Doc Rivers is out with the Clippers, sources tell ESPN.

That’s what happens when your team has championship or bust expectations.

I wonder if he quit or was fired

Well deserved, tbh. The Clippers have been chronic underachievers ever since he was hired.

[PhoSita]

Makes sense.  Seems like the team hit a ceiling with Doc and unfortunately the ceiling was short of the conference finals.  Next season is judgment day for that franchise.  Have to take some risks which includes trying a new coach.

I'd say it's coach out due to players collapse.  If they like Doc they can blame themselves. 

But it's probably time for a change anyway....

Doc back to Boston, should we start the rumors? 

[GreenFaith1819]

Wow lol.

Who else do they plan on bringing in to get them to the Promised Land?

I just can't shake the feeling that this is all on Doc.

[Kuberski33]

So how much of a role did Paul George cheating on Doc's daughter play in this?

[jbpats]

Most overrated coach in the NBA- could only win (and hardly) with veteran superstars.
People forget how bad the Celtics were with doc before we got the big 3

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

Now that we arent rebuilding. He will take the job again

[Birdman]

Wow!! Wonder if he left on his own??

Probably fired

But they dont want to make him look bad

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.
