STFU, Doc Rivers

PrintIt's the middle of August. Not much happening at this stage of the calendar, NBA-wise. Those of us who cover the league should have the luxury of kicking our dogs up, cracking wise about Pau Gasol and Cristiano Ronaldo and generally living a stress-free life. August is our down time, man! Can we all agree this isn't too much to ask?
Well, today my pursuit of genteel leisure has been rudely shattered by Doc Rivers. In an interview on ESPN 980 in Washington, D.C., the Celtics coach dropped what might be the most buffoonish statement so far in an offseason littered with buffoonishness. Let's go to the transcript.
They [the Lakers] still have not beaten our starting five. Our starting five against the Lakers' starting five has a ring. . . . We will be back strong and Perk [Kendrick Perkins] will be there next year if there's a Game Seven.
OK, deep breath. This was just an off-the-cuff remark on some sports radio gab show in the depths of the offseason. As such, it should be taken less seriously than just about any other sequence of words in the English language.
But... come on, Doc. If you're going to say something stupid, did it also have to be so inflammatory and grotesquely ill informed? One needn't be a Laker fan to be enraged by this. One need only possess a respect for historical accuracy and a memory that stretches back three whole years.
What Doc's referring to, for anyone whose recollection has faded, is the injury suffered by Kendrick Perkins in last June's NBA Finals. After playing only seven minutes in Game Six, Perk landed awkwardly under the basket, ripped up an ACL and missed the rest of that game and all of Game Seven. The Lakers won both contests and the championship.
Doc's statements reflect an effort, however spontaneous and casual, to delegitimize that title. He's saying, "If we'd been fully healthy, we'd have won the series. Just like what happened in 2008!" There are all sorts of things with this argument.
First, the NBA Finals have never once been played with both teams at full health. This isn't NBA Live, and you can't just disable injuries in the settings menu. Over a long season, players get dinged. Limbs grow tired. Ligaments get frayed and sometimes torn. What often separates champions from also-rans is depth. Great teams build benches that permit them to survive injuries to key players. In other words, Doc: if Kendrick Perkins is so damn crucial, maybe don't rely on Rasheed Freakin' Wallace to back him up.
Second, it's not like the Lakers themselves were 100% fit during last year's Finals. Not even close. Andrew Bynum was lugging his frame around on a strained Achilles that left him severely limited. Kobe Bryant was playing with a broken right index finger and an injured knee that would require offseason surgery. Lamar Odom was fighting through a bum shoulder. We'd all have preferred that both the Celtics and Lakers be at full strength in the final showdown, but that's not the way it works. Come June, everyone's got problems.
Third, "our starting five against the Lakers' starting five has a ring"? Um, no. They very much do not. In 2008, Bynum missed the entire postseason due to injury. Trevor Ariza, moreover, could play a grand total of 35 minutes in the Finals, forcing Phil Jackson to hand the small-forward position to Vladimir Radmanovic and Luke Walton. As handicaps go, these are far more onerous than what befell Perk, who despite his injury logged over 140 minutes in the 2010 Finals.
Again, that's the way it goes. At all times over the course of the season, but especially at the bitter end, you go to war with the army you've got, not the army you wish you had. It's always been thus, and Doc should leave it that way. Because if he wants to use injuries as a pretext for slapping asterisks on recent NBA titles, the line starts in 2008, not 2010.

I gave Doc the benefit of the doubt (well, as much as it is mine to give) when he trotted out this line directly after the Finals. You’re allowed to say certain things in the heat of the moment.
But two months after the Finals have ended, you’re supposed to have cooled off enough to avoid saying things like this. No matter the provocation. It’s like not shaking hands after a playoff series has ended. It’s one thing to do that in the immediate disappointment of losing. It’s quite another to come back the next day and say there’s no such tradition. That’s just stupid.
See what I did there? (Don’t ban me.)
Doc’s supposed to be a coach, not a fan. His words aren’t backing that up at the moment.

Doc Rivers is still hurtin from that loss, it’s almost like he’s in denial. He probably didn’t believe his team could lose and is still trying to find a way to justify or rationalize it.

Doc said the Celtics’ starting five has beaten the Lakers’ starting five in the Finals. This is false.
It is not a matter of opinion. This is factual information, and Doc got it wrong. This is the exact opposite of “Doc is right,” since in fact, he did not.
Please tell me we don’t have to revive the discussion on how we know that we know…

There’s a reason the Lakers are time after time voted the most successful NBA franchise. The only people who are too in denial to accept it are you Celtic fans.

Doc has been really good the last few years at tilting his opinions
Injuries only happen to the Celtics. The Celtics are the only team not getting respect. Fouls only go against his team. I respect Doc as a coach but he obviously isn’t much for sportsmanship.
A team takes on the coach's personality
Ergo, the celtics are pretty stupid

"E-Coaches are heavy in here tonight! Take E-Sasha and put him on the E-bench on your fantasy league, that’ll show him!" - Jevon O
We do not in any way have to admit that.
You won in 2008 largely because of the fact that we couldn’t stop Paul Pierce.
Why is that?
Two reasons so painfully obvious that it’s really shameful we even have to explain them:
- Andrew Bynum, our big, strong center, was not in the lane to anchor our defense. (See: Finals, 2010)
- Paul Pierce was being guarded by VLADIMIR F—-ING RADMANOVIC!!!
Give us Bynum and Ariza — you know, two of our three best defenders in 2008 — and it’s a TOTALLY different series.
No, we have to admit nothing. But what’s really hilarious is the fact that you are pushing something that is clearly a matter of subjective opinion as undeniable fact, whereas you have yet to recognize that Doc’s statement is factually incorrect — that is, it is not wrong because I think it’s wrong, it is wrong because it got the facts wrong.

the only Lakers that REALLY believed they could win were Kobe and Fish. The others were just happy to be there and a little start struck by Garnett and Allen IMHO.
But they took a few games from them and should have taken Game 1, so had the Lakers been at 100% with Bynum and Ariza, I believe they would have taken it, just on talent alone.

Bottom line is, as a professional and coach, one would expect Doc to act with a bit more class and dignity. It feels a bit more inappropriate when a non-fan starts making excuses. 95% of coaches or players will simply accept that no one is 100% healthy in June and you put out the best team you can at the end of the year. You can’t cancel the playoffs anytime any team isn’t healthy.

sweetheart, sweetheart
You’re obviously not thinking clearly. The Lakers would have beaten the celtics that year. And please do not deny that Bynum this year in the finals was a shell of himself. He played on a broken knee.
Besides, Rasheed Wallace was a better 5 for you anyways. He was a better scorer. And he could D up just as good as Perkins. So losing Perkins wasn’t that big of a deal in actuality.
Everyone in this room is now dumber. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Kendrick Perkins has gone on record saying that Andrew Bynum is his toughest cover in the league.
And 2008 Kendrick Perkins is not 2010 Pre-6 minute mark- Game 6 of the Finals Kendrick Perkins, so that argument doesn’t fly, either. They’re both much more developed now, however, Bynum’s game has become exceptionally more polished since 2008.

You all hear that our Captain, Paul Pierce, is suggesting that Boston goes away for their training camp? Just for team bonding?

Good Move by Pierce.

Uhh, sure?
They had a very dominant team back in ‘08, they aren’t nearly as good now as they were back then. And i’m pretty sure the Lakers are a hell of a lot better than they were in ‘08. Just because it’s worked once doesn’t guarantee it will work the second time..

Where greatness was born in the 50s (and sixties)
Where seldom is heard, a decipherable word
And town heroes are schmucks like Dane Cook

And from the rafters the real fans sing

Personally, my sense of humor, when around people I know won’t take it seriously, is wildly offensive. Why? Because it’s humor, it’s not meant to be taken seriously.
But people do, and so a good rule of thumb in blogging is to stay away from religion, politics, and gender jokes.

The other day, I did hand out a gentle reminder (no big deal) to stay away from using the word gay to mean “dumb” or “lame” — so I wasn’t sure.
I’m a fan of being smart about it, and not making comments that are overtly and reasonably offensive. But I’m also a fan of not overreacting just because someone told you you have the right to be offended. It’s a two-way street.

That Bynum would’ve made a difference then? He was just too young. He played tentatively that year in the reg season VS Boston, to my memory.

to quote josh from a few comments ago:
Doc said the Celtics’ starting five has beaten the Lakers’ starting five in the Finals. This is false.
It is not a matter of opinion. This is factual information, and Doc got it wrong. This is the exact opposite of "Doc is right," since in fact, he did not.

Bynum was relatively close to the level he's playing at now
2007-2008 was a breakout year for Bynum. He was one of the biggest reasons the Lakers were a contender in the West before they acquired Pau Gasol.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
You could argue that Perkins is more important to 2010 Boston
than Bynum was to 2008 Lakers. I think that questionable at best, but nevertheless. 2008 Bynum was non existant and 2010 Perkins played 5.5 games in the series. Maybe without Perkins, the Lakers would have swept the Celtics in 2010.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
You could argue it.
But you’d be wrong.
Bynum anchored our defense, and provided backup to our guards. He was our help against the pick-n-roll. Not having him enabled Paul Pierce to have a little party.
Bynum also allows Pau Gasol to move to the 4. And he generally owned Perkins. Which means that, rather than being at a disadvantage at both the 4 and the 5, we’d have had the advantage at both positions.
Add the fact that Ariza was out, along with the fact that Perk’s replacement played as well as anyone could have, and better than Perk often had, and Ariza + Bynum were MUCH more important to the 2008 Lakers than Perkins was to the 2010 Celtics.
And (2008 Bynum + Ariza)(6) >>> (2010 Perk)(1.5).

I just don’t think he would’ve made much difference back then.
I would check SS and R frequently back in 08, and some of you all hated the man back then. Even Kobe threw him under the bus, until he got better.
That’s all I’m saying….Bynum was just not ready in 08. He’s a lot better now, though.

Bynum was averaging 20 and 10 before he went down

well...
20 and 10, no, but he was still a major factor:
2008 Bynum
13.1 points & 10.2 rebounds
65.9% true shooting & 19.6% total rebound
2010 bynum:
15.0 points & 8.3 rebounds
60.8% true shooting & 15.3% total rebound
3 Heat can't stop the 3peat.
Look in the month or two immediately prior to his injury.
He was gearing up in a major way. In January, he was averaging 20/10.

Quite true.
The Lakers had the best record in the league, with Bynum playing at a very high level, prior to his injury.
But don’t confuse 18-19 with the facts.

Bynum was killing it that year
If I remember it correctly, they had the best record in the Western Coference before the injury and acquired Pau shortly after. Nobody expected what Bynum was doing but it was fantastic to watch.
and bynum coudl only play an average of 16 minutes in games 6 & 7
and somewhere around 28 minutes in games 1 -5, so we were limited at center too.

Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?

That one is the first ever post on SSR. The other one is a fanpost by Jeff Clark about 6 months ago I think???
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
I was referring to the reception Jeff Clark got
by welcoming SSR to SBN. Two comments into it.

If it was, it was really dry.
I mean, it was the first blog post in the history of SS&R. It may be that he just didn’t realize how we do things here, which is natural since we’d just started (don’t think we even had the rules, yet).
Still, either way it’s amazing.

He's no Phillip
or Pop
but he’s definetly in the Larry Brown Tier of One Hit Wonders
I’ll give him more credit if he does well without Tom Thibodeau but I will say he’s not a BAD coach which is more than I can say of most NBA coaches
"Attitude reflect leadership, captain" - Big Jules
Larry Brown
isn’t a one-hit wonder dude. He’s just so strong-willed players tune him out after a while. He is a very good coach, much better with development and defense and x’s and o’s than Doc is.
These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world... and then we fucked up the end game. - Charlie Wilson
He's "good"
But not up there with the others. We’ll see now that Tom Thibodeau (spelling?) is gone. You have to admit though what he said was foolish…

You can put Doc on Larry Brown and SVG's level
but Phil Jackson’s and Gregg Popovich?
No.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
No kidding.
How did one-hit wonders Rivers and Brown, not to mention also-ran SVG, make it into a list with coaches who have won multiple rings with very different rosters?

eH.....I think he's definitely a competitor. I think he actually loves the game.
And I think he’s putting in the work, but does he have the obsessive drive to rip that mantle from Kobe? Time will tell. Definitely gifted and definitely has better people around him than Mr. James.

I have decided that I'm not upset about Doc's quote. In fact, I fucking love it.
“Why?” you might ask.
Because it shows how thoroughly our Lakers mind-f—-ed him, his team, the city he represents, etc. It shows how much it still hurts. And I love that it hurts. Oh God, I love that it hurts. I hope it never stops hurting. I hope when Doc is on his death bed, reflecting back on his life, he thinks of June 2010 and bitterly cries himself to death.
Let it out, Doc. Tell us how much it hurts. No really, tell us — don’t ever stop telling us. We want to know. We relish knowing.

Also - here is the Full Doc Rivers Comment:
On his message to Lakers fan Doc Walker:
"Number one you gotta congratulate them because they won. They still have not beaten our starting five. Our starting five against the Lakers starting five has a ring. Tell him don’t forget that. We will be back strong and Perk (Kendrick Perkins) will be there next year if there’s a game seven."
Seems to me that Doc Rivers was in fact giving you all your due credit.
“Number one you gotta congratulate them because they won”……………
I just read the link.
June 2011 Cannot Come Soon Enough.
Seems to me you're still as wrong as you were before.
Our starting five against the Lakers starting five has a ring.

It would be like saying The Celtics were good but they used bully tactics like turning the heat up in the visiting teams locker room and other shady illegal tactics to win.

Alright, time to put up or shut up.
Admit that Doc was blatantly wrong when he said, “Our starting five against the Lakers starting five has a ring,” or be banned. All you have to do is say, “Okay, I admit he was wrong about that.” Alternatively, you could say, “Okay, I admit he was lying about that.” The latter is preferable, but either will do.
Admit it, like an intelligent, non-trollish person, or be banned.

Thou shalt respect the wishes of the admins and moderators
This is more of a catch-all than an actual rule, because it would be impossible to list out every type of negative scenario we wish to avoid. Sufficed to say, if one of our fine authors or moderators ask you to do something, like say drop an argument that’s going nowhere, or stay away from using a certain phrase, just do it.Thou shalt remember the golden rule
How do you like it when fans of other teams come to your team’s blog and start acting like assholes? We’re guessing you’re not too thrilled by it. Then keep that in mind, and “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It’s quite simple, really. If we just treat fans of other teams the same way we want them to treat us, there will never be any problems.Know the difference between an opinion and a fact
No matter how much you might believe it, and how many people agree with you about it, an opinion is still an opinion. Many opinions cannot be proven (for example, any “who is better?” argument in the world of sports). Therefore, if someone doesn’t agree with your opinion, that’s okay. It doesn’t make them stupid, uneducated, or even wrong. When it comes down to it, there really isn’t any such thing as a wrong opinion, just a poorly reasoned one.
Know when to quit
Especially when it comes to some of the more passionate arguments out there (i.e., anything Kobe-related), you have to know when to throw in the towel and agree to disagree. Here’s how you know if it’s that time: If you are simply repeating arguments you’ve already stated, or even worse aren’t providing any evidence for your position at all anymore, it’s time to move on.

A reality check for Doc and the Celtic fans
1) We would already have a 3-peet if it were not for injuries. Trevor Ariza & Andrew Bynum were injured in 2008. These are 2 STARTERS for the Lakers! Ariza got back late, but was out for a substantial part of the season. If both weren’t injured in 08, there is little doubt in my mind that we would have won in 07-08, then added to our rings in 08-09 and 09-10, we would ALREADY have a 3-peet and would be going for the 4 peet next year. Remember, without Ariza we probably wouldn’t have even gotten to the finals in 08-09. He was essential in our playoff run. Add that to our team, along with a young stud injury free Bynum in 07-08, then it is a done deal, and the lakers would have won over the Celtics.
2) Celtic fans always want to bring up that they have 1 more ring than the Lakers. Does it matter that they weren’t even ALIVE when 11 of those rings were won? Does it matter that there were only 8 teams in the ENTIRE league when 11 of those rings were won? Who cares what happened 150 years ago? The fact is that before 07-08, when the Celtics won a ring due to dehabilitating injuries to 2 of the Lakers starters, it had been 22 years since they had won before. That is a drought of epic proportions. In the mean time the Lakers had won more rings than i care to countl.
3) Get over the excuses man. How many Lakers do you see complaining about our significant injury problems? The only reason i even brought up the injury problems of 07-08 was because of Doc.
PS: Even with a fully healthy Perkins, and a 1 legged Bynum playing, the Celtics would still have lost last year. Perkins is overrated by a long shot. HOllinger wrote an excellent article on how the Celtics were actually strengthened without Perkins and i tend to agree.

Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
And you're done.
From the Rules:
Thou shalt not flame
This goes hand in hand with the personal attacks. The term “flame war” is pretty loosely defined, but if you’ve stopped using logic, reason, and evidence to try and win an argument, you should probably just stop arguing.
Thou shalt not troll
Unlike the rest of these rules, this only applies to other teams’ fans. We very much want intelligent, polite, respectful fans from other teams to come join our intelligent, polite, respectful fan base for some spirited debate, witty banter, and light-hearted “shit talking.” If you want to come in and talk negatively about the Lakers, fine. But be ready to back your shit up with evidence. If you come in here just trying to stir up trouble, making comments to try to bait or incite, or making generally ridiculous statements along the lines of “Kobe’s worthless,” you will be ignored. If you keep it up for no reason, you will be made to leave.
Emphasis added.
You have not always been a troll, but you have trolled tonight. Repeatedly and excessively. And you have been redirected, and then repeatedly warned to step back from that ledge, my friend. And now you’re done.

the van says “1812” because that’s when most of the Celtics titles were won, and a couple of years before the Big 3 was born~

Who cares about Doc?
We’ll find out this season how good of a coach Doc is. I’m very eager to see how good he really is now that Thibbodeau (spelling?) is gone. I’ll also compare Chicago’s progress to determine who really carried the coaching smarts on the Celtics.

But if he teaches his kids to avoid responsibility and make excuses like that, he’s a pretty terrible father.

hahaha you know who else never beat Boston’s starting 5 from 2008? Michael Jordan
perhaps he wasn’t the greatest of all time…. he never beat Boston’s healthy starting five.
Doc needs to get over himself. It’s just as easy to say that last year the series should have been 3-0 in our favor if not for a few controversial calls in game 2 that gave Boston the ball on the inbounds despite KG obviously touching it all.
And like you said, at least Boston had Rasheed wallace to back him up, we had freaking luke walton and vrad to play for Ariza, and we didn’t even have anyone to fill Bynum’s role in the trio of Bynum.Odom.Gasol.
quit your complaining Boston, and bow down to the the BAck To BACK champions

It’s like, totally the players’ fault they lost this series. Like, I dunno what the fans are complaining about. What-ever!
Like, you think you could, you know, sub me in for Ray Allen in game 3 and I would, like, play much worse? As if! And, like, what kind of team loses by more than 20 in game 6? Gag me with a spoon! You think that team deserves to win a championship? What-ever! And like, it’s not the Lakers’ fault KG can’t, like, use both hands when going up to, like, grab a rebound. And like, when you’re leading by 16 in game 7 and like, you still can’t win the game? Grodie to max. You like, TOTALLY deserve to lose the series, you know? So like, i dunno…

As much as it pains me to say it, the Lakers lost by more than 20 (39, to be exact) in Game 6 in 2008.
And, like, what kind of team loses by more than 20 in game 6?

I don't agree with Doc either...
…and I’m a Celtics fan.
It’s one thing for him to say the Celts’ starting five is unbeaten in playoff series (true). It’s quite another, though, for him to claim victory over the Lakers’ starting five. The absence of Bynum in 2008 was a major factor that shaped that series, and objective fans rightfully expected 2010 to be a more competitive series with him on the floor (which it was, even though Bynum wasn’t at full strength).
There’s just no reason to be sore or defensive about 2010. The Celts gave us more than we could have asked for this year given their circumstances, including convincing series victories against both Cleveland and Orlando. Doc should go into 2011 proud of what his team accomplished and prepare to set the bar a notch higher, not look back to 2010 and make excuses. You have to play with the team you’ve got, for better or worse, and the Lakers’ victory was just as legitimate as the Celts’ 2008 win.

And the hits keep coming for the Celtics
“It’s not so much what Rajon has to show, it’s what our team needs. We’ve found a good lineup, and the international game is so different from the NBA game, you can ask any of these guys,” Krzyzewski said. "Part of it is to make sure that we try not to have two non-shooters out on the court, and there’s the physicality, too.
-ESPN
Ouch.
"This is not a game for boys. This is a game for men." - Phil Jackson
I know it doesn’t speak to the quote in bold, but this development is actually better for the Celts. Rondo logged huge minutes this past season compared to the rest of the team, and he needs to rest up and prepare for next season. He can’t do that if he’s running around with Team USA.
It is pretty good for them
I expected that when they said he pulled out for family reasons that he really wanted to just to rest for the upcoming season, but then all of the other rumors came out so now idk what to think.

preaching to the masses Dex
Kudos to this post
And to Doc, don’t be bitter, deal with the east and we will see if your starting five can get back to the finals and give it to the Lakers, I 100%%%% doubt it but good luck..
There are basic Fundamentals that are needed to move forward in this game. Always keep your guard up at all times to avoid being caught in a trap. Overcome the fouls that will be committed against you REBOUND AND PRESS ON. ADJUST to the Limelight: ALL-STAR PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. Know what your role is and play your position. Find a game plan and execute it. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET OUT OF THE GAME WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.
I hereby appoint Doc Rivers an official LOLcoach.
Thanks for the free entertainment, Doc.

so what? your starting 5 have never lost a playoff series with a ring. our starting 5 the last two seasons have never lost a playoff series with 2 rings. SUCK ON THAT BIAAAAAAATCH!

Doc CMA Rivers
is just trying to motivate his team. He probably noticed that they’re lacking energy or still deflated this off-season. He’s a good motivator… that’s the only thing I like about him… but Kobe took a short swipe I think during or after the Finals by saying that players get bored and eventually tune out a “rah rah” coach, especially if they’re cerebral players rather than emotional.
Magic made me a Laker fan.
Money
The celtics lost the series because they were too focused on the money doc hid at the staples center, they only made it so far because they were so determined to get the money back. Once they got their money back they just lost interest in playing anymore sad。。。。。
