I've never seen ANY coach throw players under the bus as much as Rivers does

Now ask the players how frustrating it is to have Doc Rivers as your coach

An overrated coach explaining which entitled player was more entitled lol

Doc is the king of blowing 3-1 leads.

Doc must not love basketball. He has been exposed in the play-offs.

Doc should be ashamed of himself speaking of these men like this.

DOC RIVERS WOULD NOT PLAY LANCE STEPHENSON BUT HE PLAYED HIS BUM SON AUSTIN RIVERS WITH THE CLIPPERS

When Doc first got the Sixers job they asked him about Ben Simmons shooting, and I quote: "Ben doesn't need to shoot." That's when I knew Doc would fail because he came in making the same mistake Brett Brown made. It's ridiculous to say that a primary Ball handler does not need to be a threat to shoot. That's why they are both gone inside of 2 years.

Players say having Doc Rivers as coach was frustrating.

Him and Embiid have so much in common - never miss a microphone

How mental I'll is frustrating he was young when you coached him you don't know how nobody feelings mentally like that's wild

Joker was acting like he couldn't wait for the playoffs to be over with

What's frustrating it's watching a Coach with one championship from a loaded roster act like he is Phil Jackson or something thru a player under the bus when he needed him most...... I would never ever liked to play for a Guy who doesn't take accountability like doc Rivers

Ben was one pf the best players in 76ers, but that playoff loss against hawks and comments afterward embid and rivers did f**k him up mentally and after he did the right thing tp ask for a trade. Criticise privately and appreciate publicly is the motto of any professional coach in the world

Why is this still a conversation? Lol

Yes Ben Simmons and Harden were crippling for this team. But you can see by the way Doc talks about his players, the dude is a horrible coach. Just as much of a problem if not more than those 2 players. Alienates players, can’t hold them accountable, and absolutely atrocious at gameplans and making adjustments. So happy that loser is gone.

I don’t see him coaching ever again not only because of his track record in the playoffs but he is doing himself a huge disservice with all these interviews throwing all his former players under the bus. It’ll be interesting to hear the players truths about him after they retire lol

Doc: "...if I could get [Ben] to play this way..." Maaayte, that's Doc's problem right there. A coach's job is to bring out the best from an individual. Maybe why Doc doesn't have a job now???

Why they don't talk about what they do to him in Sixers mentally.

He himself is a choker. That 2009s Celtics team shouldve won more

I know he is likely speaking some facts but to air this out maybe isnt not a great move. It feels unnecessary

Wonder why he's unemployed

Doc - blames his players. Did it with the clippers

I agree with everything he said about Ben, but I would like to apply that same logic to him as a coach. Doc Rivers is a joke of a coach, and his track record is as disappointing or more so than Simmons. I feel terrible for the Milwaukee Bucks, they’re going to have to fight upstream against the current only to get washed away by the Rivers in the playoffs. Good luck Bucks.

That was a long time ago, you could argue a drovers dog could have coached that team to a championship. He had arguably 4 hall of famers on that team.

Ben Simmons was blessed to be 6'10. People like me dreamed of playing in the NBA but are only 5'10 😅 He hasn't dreamt of shooting with the pressure on him like us normies.

Damn, Doc took a meathook to Ben Simmons on this one. Even saying James Harden was more disappointing turned into a shade at Ben Simmons.

Doc Rivers' coaching is no better than Ben Simmons' game. At this point, Doc should give his ring to Garnett-Pierce-Allen. Those guys won a championship with this coach. That is the impressive part of that ring.

Ya rivers is a joke of coach. Everything is the players part. When we lost being up 3-1 is because the players didn’t step up. I am just the coach not a player.

Not a Simmons fan, but maybe we should ask him and the others how frustrating it was playing for a mediocre coach who throws people under the bus constantly and whose entire success, albeit limited, is simply due to being in the right place at the right time with good players but who folds under pressure every time there's an adjustment to be made.

That's Cool His eyes straightened out

Doc doesn’t really say anything, he just likes too hear himself talk, his play style old ast he need to just go away fr relax n enjoy all the money He’s Stolen

I think I disagree. Jokic doesn’t seem to love the game and he won a chip 😂 That’s just his day job lol

Jokic doesn’t love basketball

i respect doc's opinion here

I think doc hit his boiling point n he AIRING IT ALL OUT

Watching Doc coach was frustrating

What a great leader talking sht on ur own players and expecting to win together with them no wonder they lost in the playoffs

People hate on doc for good reason, dude just doesn't coach. He just realized on the fact that his players are naturally better than the opponents players. That being said he did not tell a single lie about Ben. People act like this dude is fantastic, but he doesn't give a shit. Never has never will. He's the most frustrating player in the league because he actually tried he would be one of the best, but he's content to be a middle to average role player on a bad team

Buses are useful for coaches.

I wonder what Bret Brownwould say

You would never see popovich or phil jackson talk sht on his own players what happened to this loser coach

this is an unacceptable way for a coach to talk about their former players.

Mmmmm truth, delicious truth

I think doc rivers divorce turned him into an idiot

Poor Doc Rivers he should have at least 3 🏆 championship as a coach but when you inherit player's like Ben Simmons and James Harden this is the end result

Ben Simmons will never be great. I’m not sure why everyone is still waiting.

Ben Simmons is horrible, how is he still in the league? Dude hasn't worked on his game since high school!!!

Sixers immediately got better by subtracting Doc Rivers, Ben Simmons and James Harden. Doc is stuck in the past with his slow, stale offense, and not being able to, not willing to, develop young players. Ben is just a crazy athlete who doesn’t care about basketball, just wants to sit at home and play games. And James is a narcissist who will have amazing performances, but will ultimately never help a team win it all because of his “system” play. Watching the sixers this year makes me regret all those years we spent with Doc as coach, their offense looks amazing simply because Nurse knows that to win in the NBA today you can’t just play iso-ball 75% of the time like Doc did. He has Embiid looking like the best player to ever lace up. Dudes been on a tear. Racking up 40, 10 and 6 in a nightly basis without even playing the 4th.
