The Series Where Doc Rivers gets fired: Jazz vs Clippers

[Malta]

Why is this on cp3 when Blake gets hurt every year and they haven't been able to find a capable small forward in forever?

I'm one of the biggest paul pierce fans in the world but dude should not be playing minutes in a game 6

Because CP3 monopolizes the ball and basically turned Blake into a more athletic David West.

If you're going to have the ball as much as CP3, you better be able to have blackout scorer moments and he just doesn't. Of the dudes in the top 10 for touches per game, he's the only one that didn't average 20ppg. Put it like this, he touched the ball more than Isiah Thomas yet averaged 10 less ppg and only 4 more apg, is that really what a team should want? The guy with the ball most is a sometimes scorer.

I'm not completely disagreeing... Blake is an excellent playmaker and with the way cp3 controls the ball, he would never reach his potential...

But doc made mistakes as a gm, and Blake can't stay healthy... it's not all on him

Clippers need to blow it up and start over

 

[jadillac]

has doc been fired yet? lol

IMO, they will make him the GM only, and then find a new coach

 

[jwinfield]

Don't you think he could pretty much do what Kyrie does?

Nope.

He has to control the offense.

Doc is a terrible GM, but building around a player like Paul isn't easy.

I just think DJ is overrated too. Obviously he's severely limited as a scorer and a liability on the free throw line too. It's yet another option cp3 can't use really in clutch situations. If it ain't a lob dj is almost useless offensively.

He should've went to Dallas. Mavs would benefit greatly since they've got a big who can still create in dirk.

That's why a Melo for Blake swap is intriguing for at least a season.

Problem is that Melo is potentially going there 3 years late. Melo could go unconscious and hit you with 40 and more range to help Paul. Blake IMO would thrive much more if the ball moved around more. CP3 is annoying as shyt to watch because he dominates the ball so much and then has the audacity to get mad when someone makes a mistake with a shot clock in the single digits before he gives it up.

Blake has no reason to entertain being a Knick

You underestimated The Jazz @Walt

Clips would of lost sooner if Rudy was healthy.

I mean, not really. I picked the Clip in 7. So I estimated the Jazz pretty fair. Also, you can't say "if Rudy was healthy" and just ignore Blake being out the whole series. Happy the Jazz won though, I like them a lot and can't stand the Clippers.

And the Warriors promptly blew a 3-1 Finals lead.

Austin Rivers played 38 minutes in a Game 7, scored 9 points on 12 shots, had 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 turnovers, and even managed one of his vintage dribble and fall down on the floor plays. Doc Rivers giving this fukkin crumb $11 million and serious playing time is some of the most criminal nepotism ever.
