It was called Doc Rivers, plain and simple. You guys know that for the past 2-3 seasons my comments every day were the Clippers need to find a new coach. I'll be interested to see how Doc does in Philadelphia because frankly I feel he ain't the coach he was in years gone by. He needs to give up coaching and find a job upstairs in management......but IIRC Ballmer didn't feel that role for him and hired Franks who did a good job. Expectations are going to be high in Philadelphia and I don't believe he can deliver

I am pleased to read this. I guess Lakers gave up on Giannis
The deal includes an early termination option prior to the 2024-25 season.
Davis is set to remain one of the franchise’s cornerstones alongside LeBron James, who reportedlyagreed to a two-year extension with L.A. on Wednesday.
The two superstars led the Lakers to their 17th championship in October and enter the 2020-21 season with a roster constructed for a repeat. Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka made several impressive moves during the abbreviated offseason, bringing in Dennis Schroder, Montrezl Harrell, Marc Gasol and Wesley Matthews.
Davis, 27, is coming off an incredible debut season in Los Angeles. He was named an All-NBA First Team member with averages of 26.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.
The Lakers will begin the new campaign against the LA Clippers on Dec. 22.

Agree. And mostly is because of his playing style which is hard to fit in with any elite teams.
Don't worry, Morey is in charge, and he is trigger happy when things don't work out quickly.
I still remember when Doc first got hired by Sterling. He arrogantly said they are going to win immediately and ask the championship banners hanging in the Staple Center to be taken down.
It's not gonna be a simple fix when it's championship or bust. And as Phil mentioned, Lou, Beverly, and Reggie Jackson are not a good guard mix.

You can say about Westbrook what you want, he is fun to watch.Westbrook will be a Wizard.

Very explosive gameplay
What the Clippers REALLY need are starters who are willing to start in all the gamesMy own armchair analysis. Kawhi and George are almost a repetition in their styles of play. I felt this from the start. That is why I can see Doc putting George as a spot up shooter or else Kawhi would be the one. Ibaka is a good fit now, IMO, but still they need starters with who can shoot 3s, and I don't think Beverly and Reggie Jackson are the guys do to it. Lou, has the chicken wing problem.

Best post of the day
I guess being coached by a stern looking and poker faced Pop didn't help Kawhi to be more sociable. Pop must have more rings than this smiles on camera
Actually, I have nothing against Westbrook, or CP3, or even Harden. When they play, they give it all. And no load management, and no 'scheming'.You can say about Westbrook what you want, he is fun to watch.
