Should Doc Rivers be fired?

The question is simple, do you think Doc Rivers should be let go? or should he be allowed to continue with the Celts?

Personally, I think Rondo's injury played a huge part in the Celtics only winning one game. I also think Ray Allen really didn't show up, usually he's good for at least 1 game a series where his deadly 3-ball decides the game. In this series, save a few nasty dunks, he really didn't do much. I did not see the Ray Allen that runs through picks all over the 3-point line to get 2 inches to get off a shot. Was that Doc Rivers fault? Maybe he takes some of the blame, but you certainly can't blame Doc for Rondo's injury.

I think you got to give Doc at least one more year to see what he can do.... maybe a Garnett trade or something, open up some cap space and sign somebody. The Celtics should not be "blown up," maybe retooled a bit.

Coaching wasnt the issue.... the trade didnt affect the team as much as is lead on. The main problem is the fact that the best players on the team (except Rondo) are old.

Perkins made it clear that he wanted more money than he was worth this offseason. they made a move to get younger and I think it was the first of a few more to come this summer.

Just for the sake of thread continuity, No he should not be fired.

Definitely one of the better coaches in the league, whose loses and shortcomings are only to be blamed on injuries.

He's a great coach.

Also, didn't he want to hang em up anyways?

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
