Jason Smith: âDoc Rivers is always going to be the guy deflecting blame. He never ever takes any responsibility when his teams lose. He always looks to try to pass the buck when the only thing in common with him in his career, now 17-33 in game sevens for his career, is YOU canât win. YOU donât win, and he never takes any responsibility. Itâs always âI love my guysâ until you canât win, and then itâs âwe didnât have the right group.â He said âI thought we had the right group.â It was a 3-2 lead and you had the bleepinâ MVP of the league, but you didnât have the âright group'? I wonder what the sky is like in his world? If youâre having dinner with him and youâre talking about all kinds of playoff series [in the past] and you ask him about that series: âOh, that guy was terribleâ, âoh, that guy stunkâ, âoh, that guy was badâ, âoh, that didnât work.â âHOW ABOUT THE YEAR WE DID WIN? I HAD THREE HALL OF FAMERS!â He never takes any responsibility. When I look I Doc, I think âdude, just take the L.â Just say âmy fault, I didnât coach well enough.â Whether itâs your fault or not, I would like that a little bit from the leaders. Thatâs what all leaders say after losses. The first thing they said is âIâ needed to do more, and âIâ didnât do it. But instead it was âI thought we had the right group.â Heâs acting like itâs not his fault, and everyone âthoughtâ they had the right group. Dude, you had the right group. Not thatâs all Docâs fault, but no one takes less responsibility after a loss. Doc is one of those guys who goes into a team and immediately the owner thinks âOK, I have stability', but youâre not getting next-level coaching and a guy who can get you to the Finals. Thatâs Erik Spoelstra, or right now, Darwin Ham more than it is Doc Rivers. Doc has been living off that championship with the Celtics for way too long.â (Full Segment Above)
Watch Jason Smith of Fox Sports Radio rip now-former Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers for failing to take any accountability for another Sixers failure in the playoffs.
Check out the segment above as Jason explains why no other coach in the NBA makes more excuses than Rivers, adding that we need to stop always giving Rivers the benefit of the doubt just because he won a championship with the Celtics 15 years ago.
