Should Doc Rivers be the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs?

[westkoast]

What is your guys take?

He took a team with inferior talent (The Spurs have had the most talent the past 6 years in the league) and did what Popacement could not do by winning game one against the Lakers.  No MartyBall last night.  Just pure offensive execution and a little bit of 'WWGD'.  On top of that Doc Rivers was able to coach his hurt star player into not really being hurt.  Something Popazit couldn't do with Manu GNob.

Here is a good joke I got by email:

A little more poking fun as our season comes to a halt here in SA.
 Enjoy!!
 
Kobe Bryant, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven,
God was showing him around.

They came to a modest little house with a faded
Los Angeles Laker's flag in the window.

"This house is yours for eternity, Kobe," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."
 
Kobe felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house.

On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a
3-story mansion with a brilliant Black, Silver & White, sidewalk, a 50 ft. tall flagpole flying an enormous San Antonio Spurs flag, and in every window a Spurs logo.
 
Kobe looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question: I won 3 NBA Championships, more awards than I can
remember and am one of the greatest players of all time."
 
God said "So what do you want to know, Kobe?"

"Well, why does Tim Duncan get a better house than me?"
 
God chuckled and said "Kobe, that's not Tim's house, ..it's MINE."

HAHAHAHAH!!!

And no Reality didn't get my password.  I am starting to see the light.  How come Doc Rivers was able to heal Paul Pierce so he could drop 3s on the Lakers but Greg Dropalead couldn't do the same for Manu?  Obviously he is a much better coach.  Not to mention he won game 1 and the Spurs didn't.  That makes him much better then Greg Popariddalin.

[Lurker]

You obviously are still drunk from all the Laker winning juice you consumed last night while trying to will your team to victory.  Manu wasn't really hurt...which is why the Spurs didn't use it as an excuse...it was all part of the Marketeers led by Sternfish in collusion with the Green Machine to maximise revenues.  In fact I got a letter from Sternfish himself explaining this when I asked about Crawford choking (not just swallowing) on his whistle at the end of game 4 in the WCF.

P.S.  We are sorry about the Spurs elimination.  But as it is an even year and small market teams must be prevented from repeating.  We are sure you understand that as part of the Collusion Agreement signed in 1997 which started with Duncan's draft rights we had no alternative but to send some of our best fixers...er referees to that game.  Next year we will again seriously consider making the Spurs path to the Finals easy.

The letter except for the postscript is an actual one received by me today.

[westkoast]

I got an email from David Stern too.....

Dear Koast,

Don't worry little buddy last nights game was suppose to go to the Celtics.  As the script goes this is going 7 games so we can make the most money off this series.  I personally have overseen the 48 hours of old Lakers/Celtics footage to keep reminding people how great we at the NBA really are.  Thanks for your support and keep spending your hard earned money on 10 dollar beers.

P.S.  I am going to be Senator Palpatine for Halloween

Sincerly,

David Howard Stern, king of all marketing media

Sorry there, SPURSX3, but you lost me at "Kobe.... when he got to heaven......."


I couldn't stop laughing at that to finish reading the rest.

This is the funniest thread in quite a while.  WK and Lurker channeling Reality, Spurs and his joke, and Jomal and his even funnier response.  Keep up the good work.

[SPURSX3]

Is this where WK starts putting up pictures and we start a new round of "Marco Polo"?



  - Pollo!!

What happens if your beloved Popasuck gets replaced by Doc Rivers so we RealSpurs can enjoy more titles and toasting?    You like 4 and dumb and I like to see Tim play more like KG.  Keep it coming.  Pop a vick-oden.

Altho Kobe hasn't passed Duncan maybe we can trade for him so he too can learn how to be a real basketball player.

My take is that your presumption about the Celtics talent level is erroneous.  The Celtics big three are superior to the Spurs big three. The Spurs bench is old and uncompetitive, the Celtics bench has some very capable role players.

In fact, the whole basis for my picking the Celtics is that I think they have more talent than the Lakers (as long as Bynum isn't playing).

The Celtics dominated the boards in game one, something that the Lakers have to do something about if they want to stay in the series.

The Spurs are going to need to retool to compete, the Lakers demonstrated a significant edge in talent in their series.  Pop needed to do something at the end of last season, Doc was handed a "dream team".

[Reality]

I guess 20 pt 3rd qtr playoff leads vs the Lakers are only choked off by Gregor Pop, not Doc.

Keep trying.

Written during the 3rd qtr.

[Reality]

Wow!  Technically Doc did choke off a 24 pt lead down to a 2 pt lead.

But Boston still won so Doc has a ways to go to match Greggor.
