    Clippers problem is Doc Rivers. Not a good coach and a terrible GM.

    YRYK.

    Who was it that used to argue that Doc was really good, Cockus? Tequilla? RoadDawg?

    Fuck, all you fuckers are starting to run together.
    I think Tequilla. Cockus was busy sucking off Spolstra.

    I think Doc is an above average coach ... he's proving to be a relatively poor GM in the Mike Holmgren ilk.

    As a GM, the most important thing you can do for your team if it is a title contender is to ensure that it has more than enough pieces to cover any possible contingency in the course of winning a title.

    The biggest problem the Clippers have had since getting Doc has been that their depth has let them down.

    I agree with most of your poast, but it wasn't their depth that caused them to blow the 14 point lead to the Thunder or the 19 point lead against the Rockets. It was the Clippers being the Clippers.

    Slightly disagree with the depth standpoint ...

    I do think that one of the things that really caught up to them in the Houston series was the number of minutes the starters had to play not only in the Spurs series but then in the Rockets series. When you have a 20 point 4th quarter lead, you need to be able to rely on your bench to play 4-5 minutes of relatively even basketball to not blow the lead and allow your starters to rest and be fresh. They were outscored by 25 points in the 4th. Griffin, Jordan, and Paul played 41-42 minutes during the game. Outside of Crawford's 24 minutes (and btw he was a -27 for the game), the rest of the bench COMBINED for 25 minutes. That's just flat out not enough from the bench.

    I still think Doc is good. Just not really good. He's a flawed coach and his GMing is making those flaws stand out. But I'd still take him over half the coaches in the NBA.

    The biggest benefit of Doc was supposed to be that players love him, but since he's come to the Clips they haven't attracted anyone worth a damn in free agency but the possibly still alive Paul Pierce, who's nowhere near as good as the guy they're possibly loosing in Jordan.

    If the draw of Doc isn't enough to attract elite talent, and it doesn't appear to be so, his game management is an absolute killer.

    I would take about 20 guys before him.

    So he's the Les Miles of the NBA then?
