After blowing a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets and getting fired in 2020 and then getting hired by the Sixers shortly after, in a interview in 2020 via Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer:
“Hey, listen, I enjoyed coaching him,” Rivers said of George. “So not a lot to say there. Ty Lue was sitting right next to me. So he better hope it’s not adjustments. It ain’t going to be much different.”
Rivers chuckled while lightheartedly mentioning Lue, his close friend, before continuing by saying: “Listen, we lost the game, and I think everybody needs to take ownership. [Me] obviously. We can always do better. Players can play better. So as far as I’m concerned, I’ll leave it there.”
Was Glenn onto something here??
Looking at sixer this year
I am convinced that doc is the luckiest coach in NBA history
Taliban Lue does it again lol
At this rate Ty Lue may be sitting right next to you in the booth Doc
Coaching is not the biggest impact on any sport lmao. It always comes down to talent. Especially in the playoffs when it’s simple basketball, talent beats out everything.
The Nuggets couldn’t have played championship-level defense without a coaching staff that built the right defensive scheme for the personnel, and got buyin from everybody. It took years of coaching to get MPJ to develop the right awareness to be able to tag the roller as quickly as he needs to, and still be ready to close out on a corner shooter.
Coaching is what puts talented players in position to succeed.
Spo
Everyone in the NBA is enormously talented lol
Cultire, discipline and teamwork is what counts in the playoffs - coaching is key to all of those areas.
If pandemic P showed up in 2021, Lue would have a worse coaching record than Doc for the Clippers
Coaching ain’t gonna help when you depressed over no strippers in the Bubble.
The recency bias is insane. Ty Lue coached the Clippers to their only WCF in history his first year as the head coach. That makes him the most successful coach the Clippers have ever had and the team’s current struggles don’t change that.
You are correct but this is still really funny to say
this quote was literally used to dunk on doc like a year after he said it and ty lue made it farther than he ever had with the clippers in his first year but apparently idiots are now gonna act like doc is spittin
Just realized I read Doc Rivers’ quotes in his voice, but I don’t do that with anyone else’s quotes.
Lebron quotes I always read in his voice
Doc rivers and deflecting blame, name a better duo
Lue biggest in game adjustment was telling Bron he had to do more in G7 of the finals lol
I do not understand Ty Lue stans in the media. He coached one of the all time greats in LeBron and hasn’t been nearly as effective since.
The clippers went out and got “playmakers” just like everyone called for and yet their offense, especially late in games, looks worse than ever.
When the scheme is to have your play maker stand in the corner and shoot… then it doesn’t matter how many playmakers you get.
Now the scheme could be lue’s fault or it could be Kawhi and PG are unsigned going into next year so you better let them do whatever they want. It could be Harden deferring because he is new or Kawhi saying this is my team so this is how it’s working. We really don’t know.
Doc Rivers coaching the clippers feels like a decade ago
Doc Rivers once again proving he is a good X & O’s coach
