KB21 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Rivers wanting a buyout? This article doesn't mention Atlanta, but I am going to throw it out there as a possibility. He's making a lot of trips from Boston to Orlando to watch his kids play ball, according to this article. That trip is much shorter from Atlanta. Is it unlikely? Probably. Remember though, the Atlanta crew of our ownership were watching the Hawks back in the '80s. They probably have a special place in their hearts for Doc Rivers. So, while it is unlikely, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that Michael Gearon Jr and Rutherford Seydel will push for the Hawks to evaluate Doc Rivers if he were to get the buy out in Boston.

Packfill Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I am not sure Rivers is as good a coach as his early results in Orlando seem to indicate. Celtics fans seem to be quite down on him. I don't watch Cs games though so I cannot independently verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I don't think he's a great coach, but he's got the Celtics playing pretty well as of late. Doc seems to be the type of coach that does better with guys like Ryan Gomes, Orien Green, and Delonte West than he does with stars. I have a soft spot in my heart for the former Hawks though, and I would love to see a guy like Doc come back and lead the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packfill Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I have a soft spot for him to, but I do have some trepidation with respect to his coaching abilities. Certaintly an upgrade over Woody though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff_Man Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Doc is no upgrade. He's not a good coach. He's lucky to have a motivated Paul Pierce right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing saving the Celts right now is PP. Doc is as bad a coach as Woody. Watch their games. You will scratch your head at some of the stuff Doc does.

Lascar78 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I would say that Doc is better, but not by enough to warrant firing Woody and destabilizing things again. Doc never did impress me as a coach. I say keep Woody until you can find the right man for the job. Doc is not that man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
