Who's here after he got the bucks job😂😂
-
Doc Rivers calling an ISO at the 3pt line for Embiid perfectly summarizes his IQ as a coach.
-
Watching this as a bucks fan preparing myself for what’s ahead…
-
Sheed: "Nobody wanted to believe me. Now look." 💀 Ball don't lie!
-
Doc still living off the reputation of that 08 Celtics team. If he didnt win a ring in 08 with all that talent, I doubt he'd have been employed after the Clippers.
-
Doc is the most defensive coach. He always cuts off reporters questions' and gets easily agitated.
-
What annoys me as a Sixers fan is that I knew this was a thing before we hired him. So when we did hire him I basically knew that these years were gonna be wasted. The guy is such a horrible coach. That one Phil Jackson clip in the finals playing Doc is still so true today... "they know how to lose"
-
The first Coach Nick video I ever saw was his Clippers-Rockets Game 6 Breakdown. Time flies! Speaking of the Clippers, I'll never forget how, during their infamous meltdown at the end of Game 5 vs the Thunder, Doc spent the final two minutes screaming at the refs over a bad call ("that was our ball") instead of doing any coaching or even being engaged in the game to any degree. Even after the final buzzer sounded, he kept yelling "that was our ball" at the refs like a broken record. If that's not the definition of useless "coaching" at the most crucial time, I don't know what is
-
Doc Rivers is an amazing coach for the opposing team 🤣
-
I strongly believe that the 2008 championships was won by the Celtic players and Tom Thibodeau, who was the assistant head coach during the time.
-
Yep his offenses are so stagnant and how he failed to adjust at all to the Celtics counter to the pick and roll is just baffling, unbelievable how he’s kept jobs
-
He's a coach that got lucky enough to get carried by a lot of talent but deeper in the playoffs is where true coaches shine with adjustments, line up changes, and different schemes
-
This was one of the most epic takedowns I've ever seen of a coach in any sport. Good job.
-
I love how this video showed how consistent the mistakes Doc coached teams make through different eras and teams
-
If Doc Rivers is a boxer, he would be called a journey man. Great analysis by the way.
-
Who's re-watching this , after he weaseled his way in to the Bucks head coaching job?
-
The 2008 title run seems like even more of a miracle now. The Celtics were awful in the first 2.5 rounds. How did they pull it together in the Finals? Was it the Celtics big 3 going into business for themselves? Doc made coaching adjustments? Lakers choked? How did Doc pull this off?
-
Big Baby Davis has been saying this for YEARS - Doc Rivers is the most overrated coach of all time!
-
What a career he had, with only such a capability. It is inspirational.
-
I wonder how the Bucks came to this decision.
