You probably know from my posts, I'm a HUGE Celtics fan. Been a fan of Pierce since '01, Bill Russell is my favorite old school player

I was a huge fan of the Celtics title run from 2007-2013. I watched basically every game they played. And I must say, DOC RIVERS IS OVERRATED

Doc Rivers doesn't coach, he just gives speeches
During his whole time on the Celtics, he ran only two predictable plays. Run a Pick and Pop with a point guard and PF, or run a screen play and a curl with a SG. And if all else fails, just run real fast and hope you're open

Josh Smith hit those 4 threes and a drive to the basket, took the momentum away from the Clippers. And Doc had no answer for an adjustment. I bet in the huddle, all he could say was "Play harder!!!! :damn:"

Not a single competent play called the whole 4th quarter :francis:


How the hell did that Celtics team win a chip you ask, with Doc AND Thibs on staff?

Garnett, Pierce, and Ray. I keep tellin nikkas they coached themselves :heh:

the shots weren't falling. they were calling the same plays that got them the 19 pt lead along with that 3-1 lead. I do think he left matt barnes in too long and should have put Crawford in. other than that, this is what happens when u have a weak bench. doc needs to fire himself as gm not coach. just cause you call great plays doesn't make u a great coach. it makes you an OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR.

He's overrated in the sense that I don't think he's elite or legendary like some prop him up as, but I think he's a good coach.

I can agree with that :ehh:. Average coach. Let's look at his playoff record

Orlando Magic

2003: Up 3-1 in the first round against the Pistons, eventually loses the series

Boston Celtics

2009: Up 3-2 in the second round against the Magic, eventually loses the series

2010: Up 3-2 in the Finals against the Lakers, eventually loses the series

2012: Up 3-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, eventually loses the series
