Anybody with a brain in their head knew that Doc Rivers was gone. I don't care if he was Phil Jackson. He had to go..

Was it all his fault? Of course not, but when you go out like that someone has to get fired and it might as well be Doc.

Feels like Ballmeeer waited to see how the Nuggets competed against the Lakers before deciding on firing Doc. Doc has had some bad luck here and there, but also had just some horrible losses. Everyone respects him as a person. Seemed like a no brainer to move on though. Doc becomes the top coach free agent. That rep is probably not deserved.

Funny how all the things both fans and media said that the Lakers would fire Vogal by all star break for Kidd or after disappointment in the playoffs, happens to the Clippers.

Hell, pretty much all the bad things that people predicted for the Lakers happened to the Clippers.

Frank Vogel has as many playoff series wins with the Lakers as Doc Rivers had with Clippers. Rivers had seven years with the Clippers.


Not getting out of the 2nd round with prime CP3, prime Blake and prime DJ was a fireable offense as it was it. Just a terrible, terrible coach. Great guy, terrible coach.

I think the gap between the Lakers is easy to summarize. The Clippers have the best roster the Lakers have the best team.

They'll probably just promote Lue to head coach.
On a side note, shouldn't someone give Nick Van Exel a shot at a head coaching gig? He's still an assistant in Memphis, right?

Not that I want to see Nick the Quick coach the clippers 🤮

Playing Kawhi 48 minutes a game like he did Lebron in 2018 ECF's isn't an option though ...

Oh hey, it wasn't Lebron's team who's coach got fired this year

To be fair though Vogel is an amazing coach and to gain Lebron's respect you have to be an amazing coach *looks at Spo*

First question for potential next coach at the interview: Can Kawhi take as many games off as he wants? No, ok next.

Big things will be changing for the FLippers, but I seriously cannot see who would want that job. #2 and George Paul are a couple of next level divas and the organization seems to be cursed.

I can see why he wanted to disregard this season. Everything bad ended up happening to the Clippers...

Candidates will line up for that job. If you get right down to it, how many great jobs are ever available in the NBA? 75% of the teams have issues, and the other 25% have entrenched coaches.

Oh, I hear ya! I got nothing but love for Nick. He deserves a shot at being an NBA head coach.

Been watching his recent interview on knuckleheads. Nick's has some great stories! From rookie Kobe to being a connoisseur of ice coffee. Lol!

Oh, I know they will. I just can't imagine who would want to coach them in a town that really wants nothing to do with them.

Doc would probably be the Lakers coach if they had a vacancy right now. On name alone. Thank god the Lakers don't need a coach.
