A total fraud when it comes to leading men.

Doc Rivers teams have been eliminated from the playoffs 11 times in which they held a series lead (at any point).
No other coach in NBA history has lost more than 8 such series.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Doc Rivers has now blown three 3-1 leads, one 3-2 lead, one 2-0 lead, and lost Game 7 at home four times (five if you count the bubble)
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Losing 4 Home Game 7s is abysmal
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Doc Rivers is now 15-29 when his team has a chance to clinch a playoff series.
That’s the most losses all-time and his .341 win percentage is the worst all-time among 21 coaches with 20+ such games

Lakers fans may see a 🐈⬛ walking down the street and pick up a little deja vu. That means there’s a glitch in the Matrix.
It’s called the Lowry glitch. Lakers fans should know by now, what happened in the Lakers Matrix because of the Nash glitch.
Ramon Sessions thought he had the Lakers over a barrel during the 2012-2013 offseason. He had an underwhelming playoffs and was playing hardball with the front office.
Sound familiar? It should. Dennis Schroder and his reps thought 💭 the same thing Sessions and his reps thought: They have no choice but to buckle to our demands.
Enter a PG whose best games are behind him, the face of a Franchise, who says he will go to the Lakers only if they meet his price point, no negotiation this is what it takes to get it done.
Sound familiar? That’s what Nash did. The Lakers gave him what he wanted.
Nash ended up breaking a bone in his leg and his year was over.
Nash never played in 65 total games for the Lakers.
He didn’t help take pressure off Kobe.
He didn’t reshape the offense.
He was a late 30s PG whose back gave out. Happens.
Don’t take the blue pill. TAKE THE RED PILL 💊
Kyle Lowry has played his best Basketball.
After he torched the Lakers, he sat for the rest of the year.
We have nothing the Raps want.
They have a younger version of KCP (OG)
They have a better scoring version of Kuzma (Gary Trent Jr.)
Philly and Miami are two destinations Lowry will entertain. Not sure who he ends up with.
Don’t take the Blue (Lowry) Pill.

Miami has to rearrange deck chairs to facilitate this…Philly can attach Simmons and take back Lowry and Baynes contract. Baynes has TO for next year. They could waive him…

Just one example. Miami and LA have to engineer multiple transactions to fit Lowry into your situation.

This really is a nightmare for Philly fans. And Doc’s collapse reminds me of the Shining, where Jack just keeps reappearing as the ghostly apparition.
If Doc makes the playoffs next year, it’ll be the same song: Midnight and the Stars and a sweet Doc collapse.

Doc Rivers has to be considered the biggest front-running coach of all-time.
Didn’t wanna take over a young team, let me coach a ready-made team In Orlando…then Boston…then LA. Now here…

He’s 6-9 in Game 7s. The above stat only reflects the series lost because of a blown lead…He blew a 3-2 lead against the Bulls in triple OT. They win in 7 eventually. He blew a 3-2 lead against Philly a couple years later won in 7. Was down 3-2 to Hawks in 2008. Won in 7.

He’s either been up 3-2 or tied 3-3, 80% of the time. He’s lost 29 elimination games. Astounding. He’s won 40% of the 80%. You’d think a 50:50 ratio would be decent, it’s not, especially with the weight of the collapses, each one ☝🏻 more blunt than the last.

Ben gone. They fired Brett Brown. He was the problem. Nah? He’s not. Ben lack of shooting is like the fly in the Martini. Totally exposed them…again. RAPS and now Hawks exploit him.

Trae Had his worst shooting night all series, had 10 assists and was a +7.
Trae had more rebounds (3) than Simmons had made field goals (2).

The Process ultimately will be a failure.
Simmons needs a new start somewhere.
And a freakin’ shooting coach and psychiatrist.-

Hard capped. Can’t use BAE. Depending on how dominos fall in certain directions. the NMLE is 9.7. Is offer Spence, Lou Will and JaMychal Green, Doug McDermott the whole thing.
Based on the fact I believe Kuz will be traded for a starter, as do Jamie and Tom.
DeRozan is pretty much the only guy out in FA who would take a discount for the Lakers/Clippers. I think he ends up with one of us or them.
We can’t use the BAE this year we used it on Wes for this season.
I’d be shocked if he signed for the Vet min. I think if you divide the NMLE it’d be enough.
He’s not a 3 pt specialist and he’s not gonna win DPOY. He’s gonna do his best on D and give you 20 every night. 5 mid-range shots, a few layups and going to the line 4 or 5 times.
Only vet mins and 9.7 NMLE to fill out the roster.

I’d offer Spence PO to entice him to stay. He loves Kobe and I think it’d be a chance of a lifetime. He may not sign here but we gotta try…we havemto try…

Rob was interested in trading for him, Im sure he will try and sign him.

We need a point guard who is a better 3-point shooter than Dennis. That’s not Spencer.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
If you traded for Buddy Hield those dominos could fall together.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Problem is Denver can offer the NMLE to Green same as we could. I’d still think we’d have a larger role for him, he’s stuck behind Joker Porter Jr. and Gordon…he’d be my #1

Rob tried to trade for him Tom, he will try and sign him. Doesn’t mean it will happen though.

Giannis showed the Mamba mentality in Game 6 and 7 facing elimination. Devil 👹👹👹 his due.

I’m really stoked it’s the Bucks. Arguably took a serious injury to Kyrie but it’s hard to argue the Bucks also found another fear and Bud made the adjustment to go skilled and matchup size.

Bucks have a defensive level none of the other teams can reach, can play big or small, and none of thenteams left have an answer for an aggressive and healthy Giannis. For once I’m on Chuck’s side lol.

I’m riding with Booker and the Suns.

![Profile picture of MongoSlade]()
I’m kinda leaning that way. Those dudes play hard for 48 minutes every game so far. WCF gonna be nice..it’s a cliche but these teams don’t like each other FOR REAL.
-
![Profile picture of Jamie Sweet]()
No CP3 for ??? games is what swings it for me. Booker is amazing but he hasn’t found a “leadership” aspect to his game, yet.
-
![Profile picture of Jamie Sweet]()
I’m not even picking the Suns to come outta the WCF. Not without Chris. Paul George can duel Booker and I think Reggie can outplay Payne and Zubac can body up Ayton well enough.Ty and Monty also cancel each other out. Which superstar comes back and to what degree will decide the series most likely.

![Profile picture of MongoSlade]()
Suns play with a pace & relentlessness that seems to be more than anybody remaining in the playoffs has matched on a night-in night-out basis. That covers up alotta holes. I expect T.Lue to make some adjustments but they ran outta gas a lil bit today. Suns with 6 dudes in double figures. Good game

As expected, Spencer Dinwiddie will opt out of his deal. Here are my projections for every other player and team option, along with a BORD$ valuation for each: https://t.co/M4Kg2fGLWh

Rob tried to trade for Spence with the expectation he would sit out. Rob, would have extended him obviously. It looks like he wants 12-18 range. We can’t quite get there right now.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Kuzma was offered and Marks said no. With Dinwiddie now leaving, the Nets have no return for him. Outside of Kyrie and Harden, they have no one else at the guard position with versatile create/score combos/skills.

I would be thrilled if he came to LA

In team sports, rarely can a loss be 100% the fault of one person. You lost by 1 point and your star missed a shot at the buzzer people will focus on that last shot but not mention all the missed free throws from earlier. It’s never just one thing https://t.co/ltC38o4Pj8

Imma let y’all in on a little secret. A lot of times when a team loses there’s really no one to blame. Losses are a part of sports. Y’all have been so conditioned to think there MUST be a scapegoat after a loss. Write that down, it’s going to be on the test.

NBA Twitter has a lot of people trying to get famous by any means necessary. Folks playing a character for engagement on here. They’re doing the exact same thing as skip. Tough scene.

Unfortunately people obsessing over legacies hurts the Twitter experience for normal NBA fans like me. Maybe it is part of the social media era but I feel like it is magnified by Bill Simmons and how he views sports. I like Bill but I hate that. https://t.co/CwpW9tIeTk
