I agree it's definitely part of coaching and I'm certainly not defending Rivers.

I'm just opining that getting George and his ego was a big part of why the Clippers imploded.

Sounds like players were mad he wasn't playing well and perhaps wasn't giving full effort, but pretended he was the man in how he addressed the team.vcsgrizzfan wrote:I agree it's definitely part of coaching and I'm certainly not defending Rivers.

Re: Doc Rivers shown the door in LA.
Most coaches are trash. Very, very few are elite and actually make a positive difference. Think Pop, Spo. Then you have guys like Rivers, who aren’t necessarily trash but aren’t a detriment to their team either. Rivers is better than most guys, but he’s not a difference maker.
Re: Doc Rivers shown the door in LA.
A lot of blame has to go to Kawhi too, he isn't a leader, just like Popovic said.
