    Damn that’s crazy, if only there was someone who’s job it was to get everyone on board and on the same page…

    I don’t know why he just doesn’t take accountability

  3. TheAvantGardeners

    Bruh isn’t that on you to make sure the team got along.

    Michael Jordan punched Steve Kerr in the face

    I heard him say that as if it was a “duh, there was no way those players were going to ever win together.” Wow, what a motivational coach you are, Doc! I think the blame should at least be shouldered equally, not just on the players.

  6. doinnothin

    Doc has never once taken any accountability. Which is absolutely insane considering he also constructed the teams he coached.

    Not trying to take anything away from that team, but they were the worst

    Doc: “I effed up royally with the Clippers”

    Lmao. You hated Paul for cheating on your daughter. It’s ok to admit it.

  10. nepats523

    Not a single person from lob city takes any responsibility for lmao

  11. jimmyre10

    Ah, yes. The reason that team blew a 3-1 lead despite leading by double digits in every single potential close out game was because they didn’t get along. Thanks, Doc

    Doc not taking accountability? Shocking /s what a clown

  13. Salty_Watermelon

    Doc: our team needed a head coach that could step in and get everyone to work towards a common goal. Sadly we didn’t have such a personality. Coincidentally, I’ve observed similar issues with the 76ers teams since I joined.

    He should of just said Boston and left it at that.

  15. phastest23

    The perfect example of a loser…can’t wait to see phi get counted in the 2nd round

    Balmer should not have had doc as a gm! As far as coach went, he should have been gone as soon as 2015

  17. dcikid12

    Can we hire the couch of AFC Richmond? Really building a good culture there

  18. atomiksol

    Balmer needs to hire someone who puts him in check

  19. 2chaines

    No, he was a lazy piece of shit. He’s not a great coach. Not even a good coach.

    I was so God damn thankful he left. He’s a cancer and his Celtics championship wasn’t on him, those guys wanted to fuck Kobe up. That’s it.

    Fuck you Glenn

    Lol, if we’re talking about Lob City, Idk how that doesn’t fall squarely on Doc, considering he was BOTH head coach and de facto GM. And they clearly got along in 2015, then the upset set the Clippers on a spiral.

    The entire team became more whiny. Blake was doing stupid off-the-court stuff. And where was Doc to rein it in. He was part of the group that led to the most technicals in the league at one point, despite not getting into any physical altercations.

    The man said “not as deep” – that’s because all he was good at doing was signing ex-Celtics players like Pierce and Big Baby. He traded away our 1 FRP for half a season of Jeff Green. He decided he didn’t want to sign Joe Ingles, as Ingles was mid-flight to LA.

    Doc is a fuckin clown and can’t wait for Philly to disappoint again.

  21. Slaphappyfapman

    Just imagine if we had a guy that was both the GM and the coach at that time

  22. Glittering_Scheme144

    Can’t wait to see the Sixers lose in game 7 after after being up….

  23. BicycleChoice

    Could it because you were/are/always will be a shitty coach? Yeah………….

  24. $100 says his crappy coaching and lack of adjustments in the playoffs is why the 76ers will not make it out of the East this year.

  25. desmondiwang

    I heard on the street that if you hired a pig as head coach for that Celtics team with KG/PP/RA you’d get one more championship.

  26. Smokin_Jeffreyz

    Yeah. When I overpaid my son to be a key piece of the rotation, other guys didn’t trust me… weird

    Usually you don’t say “not trying to take anything away” about a team you literally were on
