Simple Question: Is Doc Rivers Overrated?

[I AM WARHOL]

I've been thinking about this for a while now and I wanted to know what you guys think. There no arguing that Doc is a champion but does he warrant the reverence he receives has a top 5 if not 3 coach? Recently I've been watching the clippers like "are these dudes even better than they were under Del Negro?".

 

[Higher Tech]

I think he deserves it.

 

[SpursFanSinceNovember2017]

He has been living off the success of Alvin Gentry & Tom Thibodeau

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I think he deserves it.

I think he's a great coach in terms of being able to manage big personalities. Other than that I think he's just pretty good

The problem isn't his coaching, it's that Doc is making personnel moves and he's terrible at them, trading Bledsoe for what they got was just awful.

He has yet to address the glaring problem on the team, which is lack of athleticism on the wing, something they've lacked for years now, he continues to sign washed players like Granger, Turkoglu, Vujacic to play the wing meanwhile he drafts CJ Wilcox and doesn't play him. Also his eye for talent is shyt, they completely missed out on drafting KJ McDaniels and realistically he'd probably be starting for them right now.

Doc fukking sucks as a GM.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

He's over valued.

 

[DPG4Life]

better than 75% of coaches

I thought he was gonna take the clippers to the next level but their roster is flawed.I think doc is kind of overrated as a coach all he do is plead with his players to do better with his eyes looking like they about to pop out his head his inbound plays are dope.

Boston wasn't nothin after thibs left either

He is overrated. Doc was considered a mediocre coach before the KG and Ray Allen trades. After they won the media started hyping him up. Thibodeau deserved most of the credit for the Celtic's defensive schemes.

I saw this on realgm

as offered DeMar DeRozan for Bledsoe and didn't take it.

Instead traded Bledsoe for Reddikk, Dudley & two future 2nd round picks

Traded Dudley & a 1st round pick for scraps. Dudley is having a great year.

Signed some mediocre FA (Granger, Hawes, CDR, Bullock, Mullens, Farmar, Hollins)

Lost Alvin Gentry (one of the best offensive coaches in the league) to the Golden State Warriors

Is considering a max contract for DeAndre Jordan[

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9...-join-talks-eric-bledsoe-los-angeles-clippers
The Raptors have been openly shopping out-of-favor forward Andrea Bargnani and have likewise pitched a trade scenario in which L.A. would receive both Bargnani and shooting guard DeMar DeRozan.

Although sources say the Clippers actually prefer Bargnani to DeRozan because of the Italian forward's ability to step out and stretch the floor

 

[who_better_than_me]

I dunno. Lets switch places with hik and mchale and see the results

[CantStop]

His coaching is overrated too.

Had KG, PP and Ray and won 1 ring. I mean *1 ring. He's lucky Bynum and Ariza were out.
