So I am watching the Clippers GSW game last night and it was pointed out over and over again that the Clippers were not rebounding. I must have looked like a genius when I told them that Doc teams do not rebound because he does not believe you need to rebound.
I also correctly called the Chris Paul ISO at the end of the game. Problem is Chris has not perfected the ISO like PP yet.
The Clippers will find out soon enough what they have in Doc Rivers.
I will agree that you were right on countless points. I will not agree that you said Doc wanted out. I'm pretty sure his reasoning took on more than just a few weeks of short notice. Doc definitely thought it about throughout the span of a few months, and his reason to leave was probably eclipsed by months and months of heavily thinking about it.
Now I don't care or mind if he or has left us. Like Allen I hold them two dearly in my heart, but it was time to move on, and we needed a fresh coach who really was willing to be there for the franchise. Not someone who was seriously considering the possibility of having to leave us.
I'm actually enamored by Coach Brad Stevens. I feel his calm, and polite demeanor is what this locker room needs. There was plenty of tension around Doc, and his comments about us not being able to win anything would've been poison for the rest of the roster had he come back.
In the long run, I'm glad we got a draft pick, and we shaved off a couple million. This was a great move by Danny Ainge, and I hope to see more and more success from CBS.
It's pretty amazing how much better of a rebounding team this is, and with out Rondo,PP and KG. It's probably one of the reasons they can hang around in most games with a lack of a star player.
Agree. It is sad to see PP/KG gone. I do miss their dominant effect over the younger players, and hope they do come back next year.
