How would you guys feel if Ham’s fired for Doc?

1. Not good

2. Doc Rivers has choked the most 3-1 leads in the NBA history – there are so many red flags with him lol

3. So what I’ll take him. I’ll take my chances LeBron and AD used properly would not blow a 3-1 lead.

4. Doc Rivers is like the retarded step brothers from Ham

5. I’d completely be resigned to wanting Pelinka out if that’s the case, just dumb decision making across the board.

6. I would support them hiring him for this year. If he turns the team around and produces and makes a run then maybe they throw him a deal. Otherwise they reassess in the summer.

   People saying no to Doc because of his chokes seem to forget he has had a 65% win rate over the past 10 years. Sure some is coaching but I’ll take a coach who is proven to work with stats, have winning seasons and get his team in a position to win a series. Players are just as responsible for choking series leads, especially the latest Philly series.

7. He’s better than Ham and at least should get us to the playoffs.

8. I would rather ride the season out with Handy and reassess in the offseason

9. No thanks. Basically the same kind of coach. There will be a honeymoon phase but eventually we would suck.

10. Give the remaining of the year to doc, and lets see if he can turn things around. Nothing to lose

11. team will go on a 6-1 streak then back to the usual 5-6 stretch

12. I wouldn’t be upset it just doc does do some wild shit sometimes.

13. Lakers could have had Quinn Snyder, Nick Nurse or Ime Udoka…..

14. I don’t like him long term, but he is a real coach at least.

15. Seppuku.

16. This gives me Ham wanting to ride Lebron vibes

17. Doc Rivers would be great for the regular season, come playoffs Bron might have to coach ngl.

18. Handy > Ham

    Doc > Handy > Ham

19. We don’t want doc. We can do with a not great coach as long as he has a great coaching staff with him. Our entire coaching staff is pure garbage

20. Doc is awful

    He would still be a monumental upgrade over Darvin Ham

21. Ham praised Christie/ Reaves/ AD / Bron

    Atleast Christie will get minutes..excited to watch him grow man..his midrange game needs more attention..he could be a scorer + D guy.

22. Nah

    I’d rather try Stotts

23. I’m 50-50 on Doc man….. Part of me knows he’s an overrated a playoff choker head coach. But, he’s also been a good regular season coach. Maybe Bron can cover his deficiencies on the playoffs (if we make it smh)???

24. Doc definitely has a spotty record in the playoffs since the Celtics title, but the guy crushes out regular season wins year after year. Also, listen to his interviews, Bill Simmons podcast appearances, and announcing. The guy is smart and he is also well-respected by star players. I think he would be the best option to come in and play to Lebron and AD’s strengths while getting some wins to put us into better seeding for the playoffs. Once we are in the playoffs Lebron and AD will raise their game as they always do and we will go as far as they take us. Fire the Ham, call the Doc!

25. Can’t be worse right?

26. Isn’t doc really bad at in game adjustments? That’s literally one of the biggest problems with ham

27. I’d rather have Mike Budenholzer

28. Lol hell no.

29. No. If you thought Ham’s favoritism was bad, you do not want Glenn.

30. Get that Ham outta here man.

31. Rivers would lead this in the same direction…

    I see a lot of “WTF GLENN WTF” in our future should he be hired

32. Id take a pockets full of of gummy bears for Darvin Ham. Sadly Doc is still a better coach than Ham. Fml

33. Did this thing Doc said about AD comes from an interview or Tweet? Any source?

34. Id rather have pringles again. But pockets has gotta go.

35. I thought Lebron was the coach now he’s gonna get a 3rd coach fired in his time with the Lakers

36. HELL NAHH.. Doc don’t need to coach the Lakers let alone any team anymore.. just enjoy your chip with the Celtics and continue your lil commentating job

37. Doc is just as bad. Most blown 3-1 leads by a coach in NBA history and is just as bad if not worse with in game adjustments as Ham. And thats coming from his own former players

38. I’m ok with this. Doc has a winning record and playoffs experience (good and terrible). Say what you will… there’s not a better/safer option out there. They need to turn around the season and get something going. The west is tough and we don’t look like a playoffs team at all.

39. Can we get another guy with hair i dont want two bald coaches in a row sounds like a bad idea

40. Doc is a good coach but outside of the 1 year he literally had the best team on paper and the year he had Lou will and shai cooking the rest of the conference I can’t remember him coaching his teams up they always are front runners and end up out early at least ham can say he coached that team last year up don’t doesn’t make adjustments this is the main reason he doesn’t have a coaching job right now.

41. HELL NO

42. I’ll take Doc over Ham

43. God speed

44. In the interim, he’s levels ahead of Ham with his experience as a true Head Coach.

    Can I wash my mouth out now?

45. Doc and Budenholzer would be top options since they’ve won titles. I would lean Budenholzer.

46. Pretty fucking bad…

47. biggest playoff choker of all time?

    rather nuke the season with HAM, tbh.
