Doc after bucks get bounced in the 1st round, "Giannis shot under 60% from the FT line, that's all you need to know".

I think Doc Rivers has always been an overrated coach

[@JetEngine85]

Calling him overrated is underrated

[@bear458ziif-s]

he's actually underrated now from the amount of hate. took the bucks from bottom 5 ranked defense to a top 5 ranked defense.

[@KCdatdude1]

Only when its a black person. All these retreads non winning white coaches across the spectrum get little to know backlash instead keep getting jobs. Doc is like the 3rd black coach to get multiple chances but is THE ONLY one getting pulled to the carpet repeatedly and thats not a coincidence

[@omarmontanez8520]

Your on point with this take, if he was that good of a coach he would've had more championships with those stacked teams he's had. Boston practically didn't need him to get that championship. KG, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo and the rest of the squad were going to win that year with or with out Doc

[@jack-805]

This is emphatically false. Doc took the team to Africa and they came back with "Ubunto" mentality which is translated as "I am because we are". He got Ray Allen, who was an All-NBA All Star to accept a JJ Redick role and Rondo was a headcase with every single coach he played for except for Doc. Leadership starts at the top and KG echoed it on the floor. That's why they won.

[@chiefnakoma]

What teams were stacked? Lob city? The Clippers were a fun team, but Griffin and D Jordon isn't getting done in the playoffs. The 76ers with Ben Simmons or Harden who hasn't been good in the playoffs anywhere. Maybe he overachieved in the regular season. It's hard to win a championship. As good as Celtics have been, last title was in 09 under Doc.

[@JKJK-lw8rm]

Rondo was the coach

[@orchang2]

@@chiefnakoma you conveniently omit embiid and kawhi and PG13 and CP3??

[@chiefnakoma]

@@orchang2 My point is Clippers were a fun team, but is a team with Blake Griffin, D Jordon and CP3 really stacked or expected to win a chip? They were going against the Warriors in that era who were stacked. Also LeBron and Cavs. He had 1 year with Leonard and PG and it was the crazy COVID bubble year. Yes he had Embid, but 2nd best player was Simmons who's terrible and then Harden who has a terrible post season record, team cancer, etc. I'm not saying he's a perfect coach, but other than those early Celtics teams, he didn't have a team that was expected to win a chip. Guy makes it seem like he had Steph, Klay and KD and lost every year, or LeBron, Wade and Bosh.

You forgot to mention how he blamed Ben Simmons after taking the lead. Or how ty lue made the conference final the following year without Kawhi. Something doc couldn't do in 7 years

[@Nbajunkie2782]

What was the bucks thinking

[@therealjayz8036]

Bro wants credit for going up 3-1 with CP3 missing the first two games but won’t take the blame for losing the series 😂😂

[@865style]

He said that those clippers teams were never gonna win anyway 😂😂. Wtf. Yea you're right they weren't gonna win because you were there coach. If you put a good coach on either of the clippers teams with cp3, Griffin or Kawhi and pg they win a ring. If Kerr, popovich, Riley, Spultra are coaching his celtics teams, both of his clippers teams, his Philadelphia teams they would have at least 3-4 rings. If phil Jackson is coaching those teams they're winning at least 5-6 rings.

[@cloudzundersky]

JJ summoned the internet. And the internet obliged.

[@Munir9595]

😂 I love it

[@kitataq]

Making excuse isn't unusual, but how he keeps throwing his players under the bus is beyond me.

[@joshahlstrom2764]

I wouldn’t say the Paul George trade was bad, but the Thunder definitely won. Shai has been better than they could have possibly imagined. I think they expected him to be a great player but not like a top 5 guy in the league.

[@jokerofmorocco]

Also Paul George is better on a win-now team like the Clippers at the time since SGA was still young and lacked experience

[@lonniehansenjr8196]

nice job. as a long time clipper fan. I loved how doc handled the donald sterling issue. I just don't like how he handles in game adjustments. We should have never lost to the Denver nuggets in the bubble. They kept running pick and roll and the top of the key with joker and murry and doc didn't make any adjustments until it was too late. While injuries were a thing with some of the earlier clipper losses, he blew the 3-1 lead against the rockets. what is the role of the coach? I think part of it is to get the players aligned to a common goal and playing hard.

[@earthquakenate]

Bet: Doc Rivers writes a book 📕 trashing his players after he's fired from Milwaukee

[@muklata]

The most overrated coach in history . Underachieved with that monster team of superstars in Boston by winning only 1 and it was a close one , the absolute most overrated how tf they giving him offers after losing 3-1 series instantly once he gets fired offers fly to him , unreal

[@theman1412]

That 2008 Celtics that did win it all, almost lost in the 1st round that year 😄😄😄

[@Plague_Doc22]

Even if its the rosters fault, as a coach you cant blame them for it. It's either "we failed" or "I failed".

[@AZLANKHAN003]

Man i was just watching a rusty buckets video and he said something about doc rivers i laughed and agreed with and been saying forever, doc always has excuse after excuse for his losses and he actually believes none of them our his fault lol I searched doc rivers excuse compilations and you posted this today so what are the odds of that lol

[@757-David]

Doc is overrated as a coach, no doubt. Though the Harden excuse was pretty on point.

[@marcinolszewski2260]

Kawhi in Toronto was the best player in the world at that time. Paul George was in MVP race in OKC. Doc got them both and he's complaying that on paper his team couldnt win anyway?! WHAT?! I could argue he got lucky the series with Nuggets went to 7 games, cause Nuggets were totally exhausted after Utah and had to go less than 100% for the first 2 games (watch Murray reaction after Jazz)

[@codyjohns6931]

Im pretty sure Paul George before the bubble season was dating Docs daughter for a time and then they broke up when he got caught cheating on her with a stripper that PG got pregnant and i think he end up started dating her so there was some bad blood there and with austin rivers

[@TheDavis804]

[@MisterJonesification]

0:09 He has lost what little(if any) control of the locker room. He's a clown for throwing his players under the bus like that, and done to deflect that he's a terrible coach. The bucks downgraded at coach, and it shows in their record.

[@scrapcuz8370]

We can say the same about Kerr as well the warriors was winning those chips without him he literally came in and inherited a championship team

[@Ember_Janer]

It doesn’t just happen

[@BunnyP3]

Every coach at some point, makes excuses but some make it more than others and takes the least amount of accountability. Doc Rivers is one who makes a lot of excuses and takes almost no blame. And he loves to talk about it. He did this to himself 😂

[@kortinskeep2318]

As a lifelong blazer fan watching the Bucks this year you can tell he doesn’t play to players strong suits and just focuses more on ball movement. Dame is taking a career low in shot attempts not because he’s next to Giannis but because of the system he’s forced into and they’re a worse team in that system.

[@Zacche]

Hahaha we've been saying it the most over rated coach of all time. Imagine like a Phil or even a Spo having those teams

[@darthhorror0HD]

i still get pissed that he ruined the big 3 era celtics even in 08 we went to 7 games with a hawks team that wouldn’t even make the play in according to todays standings

[@inanyarena704]

U only hurt the team by accusing Doc. If u Want see Giannis leaving the franchise keep accusing!! It Will take more long enough to see the team strong!

[@jack-805]

this is just the NBA talking heads stirring up content. Doc Rivers is candid and always has been and he's literally working for the media in half these statements which means it's his job to speak the truth. He played for some epic teams and epic coaches and lost a lot as a coach before he learned what it takes to win. And he's 100% correct on his takes on unity and cooperation, and what makes him a great coach is he's not afraid to call out his players and as a fan I like that. He's blown some leads but Doc never played a single minute. Coaches can certainly lose games if they don't call timeouts properly or don't have good enough plays but that's not Doc's problem. In the end, Doc didn't win that championship, KG, Pierce and Ray Allen did by buying into team basketball and so obviously James Harden reverting to Houston-ball wasn't going to win. And the Clippers are cursed and always have been. There are 8 current coaches who've won titles and Doc is one of them (bubble chip was fake sorry Vogel). This puts him in elite company. If you can't win with Doc it's because the team isn't good enough or won't buy in, end of story. JJ Redick is just salty because he's a fake starter on a championship team. No team is ever winning a championship with JJ Redick starting it simply never would have happened even with God Himself as coach.

[@projman2155]

Doc didn’t blame harden. He was just asked how is it coaching harden. You’re just throwing rhetoric or narrative that’s become overblown.

[@user-nr6ul3pw3q]

Kobe said the same thing about Harden and y’all sucked him off for it but if Doc says it he’s wrong? Besides he was answering the questions asked to him. And didn’t compare himself to Pop, he was making a point would you ask someone you really respect that question? No ? Don’t ask me then. He wasn’t tolerating disrespect. When Phil’s Jackson says weren’t not getting back to our spots or our heads weren’t in the game you don’t pick it apart but when Doc dies it’s “he’s throwing teammates under the bus.”. Or he’s answering the damn question he was asked.

[@matthewwangerin6951]

What I see is a whole bunch of people having their brains programmed. All these people are furious at Doc. Why? Do you even know why? Only one team can win, but people jump on about 25 guys heads, every year, for not winning. Now everyone is mad at Doc. Press asks him a question. He answers. They say he is making excuses. A bunch of sucker sh#t. The real game is how many people get mad when they are told to be mad, on cue, without them knowing they are only mad because they were TOLD to be mad. Doc said he was out chilling on a walk, his phone rang, they asked if he wanted to coach Greek for $40 million. He said yes and y'all get mad? What kind of goofball sh#t is that? Who says no to $40 mil, when you were just strolling on the beach? I don't understand. People don't know how to think anymore. Greek needs to play some damn defense!!! GM needs to stop trading away all the defenders. Dame never played defense, but you want to get mad at Doc because Dame isn't playing defense? I could barely understand if y'all WERE Bucks fans. Y'all not no damn Bucks fans. Y'all don't even watch the damn games. They got y'all mad at Lonzo. He did nothing to no one. Y'all got mad at Russ because Skip told you to. Y'all just got done being mad at D Lo. Now it's Doc's turn. If the Bucks win 3 straight, they will find someone else to tell you to be mad at. Got your mind right off that terrible all star game. NBA boys got beat by the G league boys. Not mad at that? NBA boys won't play hard because they only care about money, screw the fans. Y'all not mad at that. Only Doc. Unbelievable. Ever heard the saying " you worried about the wrong thing"? The players just blew the bag. Not playing, trying to finesse trades, blah, blah, blah. What do you think all these aprons are? It's called paycuts. The salary cap may go up, but two players will take 70 percent of that, then the other 13 players will split 30 percent. When THAT reality kicks in, they won't be mad at Doc anymore...

[@101noz101]

[@johnrath5049]

JJ Reddick has a huge platform so his takes are very likely to gain traction. Yes it is hard to win a championship, does he make more excuses than other coaches? IDK, don't watch a lot of press conferences. Fans are definitely upset over the all-star game. I'm sure if true, the new pay structure won't go over well. I've been a Buck's fan since Blue Edwards was our best player so this doesn't pertain to me anyway.
