do you realize that the 2008 team was bound to win that championship. Look at who they played in the finals. The Laker team without Bynumm and yet it took miraculous plays from Powe and Posey to get us over the top. The Lakers started Radminovich for crying out loud.

You could have rolled out the ball and won that chip. Vucevic was getting major minutes for the Laker team. They had three Euros getting major minutes on that team. Yeah, they were really not going to beat the Celtics with the big three even if you rolled out the ball and called the plays

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!  You're willing to diminish the 2008 championship rather than to give doc any credit.

NO, I just don't think he is that good of a coach. The fact that he acts like the second coming is actually funny to me. He is lucky he is in Boston. He would have been blown away in LA. But there he is in Boston calling the shots like he was Popovich or Phil Jackson.

I didn't read most of these posts, but I don't think Doc is leaving (at least this upcoming season).

He seems like a man of his word and will stick with the Celts because they stuck with him when hard times hit.  Within the last 6 years, he has truly become a winning coach overall and has built a reputable resume, but I think he sticks by them for at least this go around.

not only that but our lineup was STACKED. ray, kg, and pierce were in prime mode and i believe in 09 if kg didnt go down we would of won again. i give doc credit for managing well but i mean c'mon our roster was incredible and adding pj brown/cassell just made it unfair.

Exactly how is Doc acting like he is the 'second coming'?  What are you even talking about?  He evaluates if he is coming back at the end of every season.  How does that equate to him acting like he is the 2nd coming?

You haven't supported your point very well in this thread at all.  Doc is one of 4 active coaches that have won a championship.  Yeah he had good players, so did every other championship team EVER.  Just because we had good players doesn't take away from the effort and achievement to win the title.  If it was that easy every crap NBA coach would have a title.

If you are going to have a rant against Doc, and lots here do at least make some valid points.  Otherwise it is just pointless.

Well that's embarassingly xenophobic of you.

Go ahead. Google it.

there's truth to both sides.  That 2008 steamrolled the league in the regular season and I believe would have done so with a CYO coach.  Doc, IMO, failed miserably in the playoffs in the first 2 rounds.  No excuse to be taken to 7 games in each series and look so absolutely horrible on the road.  He was so outcoached it was embarrassing.

Doc held his own in the Cleveland series but to his credit, he actually outcoached Phil Jackson in the finals.  I could hardly believe it when it unfolded but he made the moves that stayed a step ahead of Phil.  Only playoff series I can actually say Doc was the better coach.

Doc is closer in coaching ability to Popovich and Jackson than he is to bad coaches like Doug Collins and George Karl.

Boston has a hard enough time getting free agents here as it is anyway. So having a coach that's popular and liked around the league could help some in that department. Doc is that kind of coach.

  Yeah, those two won plenty of titles without talented teams.

Why did 9 out of 10 ESPN experts pick the Lakers to win that series?

You can read one man's opinion about why the Celtics surprised people in that series here:

(For reference, that guy is employed now as a VP of basketball operations for an NBA team).

I know that you probably will not answer the question, but anyway, thanks for illuminating yet another subject about which you appear to have a poor grasp on the facts.

Never realized Doc was such a polarizing figure. Guess I should have, because I see both sides and am often ambivalent about him. Still, the concentration of sarcasm in barely 3 pages of a thread underscores just how polarizing Doc has become.

To the topic at hand,if Doc leaves (and I would be surprised if this happens, and I don't think it happens if either PP or KG are still here)), then I like Sloan and then Collins.
