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?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
