2 years later…Boston is up 3-2 in the 2010 NBA Finals with a chance to win ring #2 with head coach Doc Rivers.

Life is funny ain’t it…

While I agree that the Wally play was horrible, this article is illogical. It is implying that Doc’s play call led to the Pierce injury — it was a ‘stress reaction’. That is why Pierce didn’t get a shot off.

The young player development part is also way off. Telfair didn’t develop in Portland either. Did you ever think that he will be a genuine bust? Allan Ray? We got FAR more out of Ray than we anyone would have expected. You are WAY off base mentioning Ray. West developed as well as could have been expected as a tweener. Tony Allen also developed very well except for the injuries. Rondo is developing fine.

Gerald is the problem — but that’s the way talent development works. Some develop, some don’t. I would blame Doc more for Banks, but we can see he has done even worse at Phx.

This article is mostly hyperbole and ranting.

You guys were probably the same “haters” that were saying Danny needed to be fired before he screwed up the draft. Give it a rest. Doc was voted “Coach of Year” in 2002 with a bunch of undrafted players. Give him some time with this talented bunch and I bet we don’t hear from you on this topic again. Go C’s!!!

I agree with everything written. However you forgot to mention how poor his time management is. Never called a time out when needed or called it way too late. He does not sense the flow of the game or the flow of the C’s on the floor.

His decisions are VERY VERY POOR.

Time for Rick

I think we need to fire him before the all-star break to avoid an embarrassing first round play-off lost.

Nice article, nails it on the head. This what we talk about on our site The Shamrock Headband time and time again – the fact that Glenn is still coaching means that despite the Summer of Love, we’re going to have a horrific year. The best part is he got extended. God knows…
