Not his fault but he saw the collapse coming with the Nimbhart 3….he was thinking not again
I am surpirsed how Doc gets the job. He has failed and failed and failed. The only time he was successful was when coaching 3 first ballot HOF + Rondo. You dont need to coach that team. That team only won once because Doc was the coach.
if doc was white perk would've thrown him under the bus
At the bottom of the screen it says Giannis signed a 3 year 175 million dollar extension that starts next year. Why are all of these so-called experts talking about Giannis needs to leave?
doc rivers has a history of blowing games, no excuse, he should be fired , my god
The defending champs literally punched their ticket to the second round. Put some respect on them
Greek Freak to the Knicks 😊
Doc rivers continuing to get jobs is crazy. Just crazy. All the talent he’s coached and he hasn’t had a championship appearance since 2010. It’s nuts
Doc the weasel deserves this, hypocrite of a man not deserving to be head coach of any NBA going forward.
It is doc fault 😂😅
If it wasn’t Trent they would have been blown out 😆 😅
Okay , for the sake of argument , let's say the last 40 seconds isn't Doc Rivers fault (?????) .. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 200 MINUTES HE REFUSED TO PLAY HIS BEST LINEUP ?
It's always the coach's fault unless that coach's name is Doc Rivers.
I love KP and value his opinions…. but the dude needs to stop defending Doc Rivers.
There's always an excuse for doc. The bucks went backwards hiring him.
I want you guys to watch the bucks on offense. Its literally just giannis controlling everything. Zero movement, nothing. THATS COACHING
how is it not Doc's fault, those players were exhausted, don't you know how to sub players in and out and put the right guys in
No but can Doc Rivers adjust before we're down 3-1? Can Doc rotate with Ajax and Simms so our 5 isnt completely knackered in OT? Hmmmm…
Women shouldn’t be allowed to talk about sports
I remember when people were telling me that Steven A Smith shouldn't be able to talk basketball because he never played the game. Then you have Kendrick Perkins and Gilbert arenas speaking.
(Despite how I feel about Gil opinions on certain things in basketball, prayers to his son on a speedy recovery)
You brought up Doc Perk. STOP
The apology should have been directed to Giannis.
Am I alone here when I say I could not care less about Tyrese’s dad? His son clutched up a game, he talked trash, giannis walked up got in his face and because he didn’t cower away and bow down he’s a problem? “Oh no! A fan insulted a player whatever shall we do?”
The way Perk stay loyal to Doc Rivers…..SMH.
Doc Rivers got his line-up right after putting his team in a 3-1 hole. Maybe, if he was able to make the adjustment earlier, and even made in-game adjustments in the 4 games that they lose, they could have won.
Can’t blame Doc, I’m a bucks fan and this style of play has been going on for years… not contesting shots, only 3’s or Gianni’s solo crashing the board, no rebounding, no midrange game, too much back to board before shot attempts from midrange.
Doc is the greatest choke job artist ever. He currently holds the title of being the only NBA coach to have blown three 3-1 playoff leads. He coached very talented teams but has only one title to showcase 😅
Fire Doc and Perk.
I just don't see how if he leaves to go somewhere else what's going to make him win a championship anywhere else he's still can't make free throws on another team
Doc a horrible coach
bro doc has been on how many failed teams? i dont know why ppl keep hiring him.
Doc rivers is a great coach, boston championship, the clippers I dont know what happened 😕 with that franchise, but the Orlando MAGIC were trash he took them to the NBA finals, congratulations, first year with the bucks didnt have giannis antetokounmpo second year no damian Lillard, there's nothing else he could of done, Phil Jackson and other coaches had healthy superstars…and won championships doc is soo under-rated as a coach so if other coaches were in doc shoes, they would do worst cause I cant name not ONE TEAM THAT HAD OR HAS WON A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH OUT STARS PLAYERS MISSING OUT OF NOWHERE OR INJURY PROBLEMS CAN YOU ?
The lead with possession and under a shot clock remained. Why tf were they passing it around like that
wow its hard to listen to this manlady's voice
Give a coach with a long history of chocking the reins…what did you expect?
I swear Perk is literally going back on what he has said previously. I’m sure he literally said something on the lines of you made your bed, now lay in it.
Perk must be high as hell to defend doc rivers smh!
When do coaches ever lose games? As often as they win them, maybe…
Grown man doing some dumb-ish.
Perk saying he should talk to Kg is the dumbest take is the ever heard! GIANNIS WON A TITLE IN MILWAUKEE, KG NEVER DID IN MINNESOTA!
You gotta be stupid perk!
Winning just the one game in a series is somebody's fault!
