Doc Rivers

You know what I mean? If you're doing certain guys, you've got to be able to do their voice because it's such a huge part of who that is.

It's kind of how we felt when – Lawrence Fishburne played Doc Rivers in that really bad Don Sterling Hulu TV show.

And then they asked Lawrence Fishburne about it, and he was like, oh, I didn't even look at any of it.

I didn't even know who he was.

that'd be dope

Doc Rivers could be huge for this team.

Are they asking for a new coach to replace Will Friday?

Yeah.

Come on, baby.

Yeah, I don't know.

Doc Rivers, like, yeah.

I just don't even know who's floating around right now.

I know the roster is drastically different last year to this year, so this might be kind of difficult to answer, but considering that Doc Rivers was the coach last year and Taylor Jenkins is the coach this year, aside from the talent level of the roster and how young they are and all of those things, what have you seen that's different from a Taylor Jenkins-led team compared to what you saw from a Doc Rivers-led team for the past couple of years?

I don't know if we have enough time to get into all this, but Taylor has come in and started instituting that culture.

Like I mentioned, the baseline is competitive, like just compete.

I feel like the offense is, Having a coach who understands in this modern NBA, you need to try to go in and crash the glass, get offensive rebounds.

That's been a huge change for the Bucs.

Doc Rivers famously said last year, like, I don't do offensive rebounding.

It hurts your transition defense.

For whatever reason, it seems like the Milwaukee Bucks always came down and got a couple of dates in Orlando back-to-back.

I really believe that's because Doc Rivers wanted to play golf in Orlando, and he worked that out.

I think there are pros and cons to it.

Yeah, I think so.

So my most controversial non-betting take is that blown series leads are very overrated.

And famously, Doc Rivers has this reputation of blowing series leads.

In my opinion, if you blow a 3-1 lead and you lose 4-3, That's the same thing as losing 4-3 when you're down 3-1.

You won three games and you lost four games.

Like basketball.

Yeah, basketball mainly.

Especially the Doc Rivers narrative.

So my only pushback is... there's there's an element of it i think which is like inability to adjust to things that stop working so you've lost two games in a row now to this team they're clearly they've clearly changed something that now like whatever you were doing correctly in the first four games isn't working as much and it's kind of on you as a coach to be able to make that adjustment and fix it in time for games that that would be my pushback i i kind of see what you're saying where it's It's become like sort of a meme now.

Coaches weigh in because, you know, there's some AAU coaches watching who tell me what you do is...

And then even, you know, who knows? Maybe we need to get Doc Rivers in.

Like, we'll get Doc Rivers on the show.

He talks politics and sports.

Have him tell us what happens when one of your best players just can't get going offensively.
