 What's the word y'all yesterday? We got pumped faked by my boy Cobra here, but he's actually there you see him I mean, I guess you can kind of see him. That's my boy. He's actually here and let's pray that he doesn't make noise See that was silent and I like that so he's here watching Watching me work, which is cool. You know my favorite co-hosts We're talking about the Clippers and Doc Rivers in today's video Before that be sure to leave a like and subscribe if you are new we're trying to continue to grow this channel And I can't do that if you don't do those things. Alright, so I was thinking going into these next couple days Yesterday and today there's gonna be a very very chill day in the NBA world You know, we just waited for the finals just waited for the finals and then out of nowhere Seemingly out of nowhere. Doc Rivers gets fired now if you go back rewind to the day that they blew that 3-1 lead I said here in the same set and I was like, I wouldn't be surprised if Doc Rivers is fired. I mean it was not the new I feel like a lot of people had the same opinion because you don't blow a 3-1 lead and that magnitude We're talking about a team that was the heavy favorite that was up by 20 plus points and multiple of those games Blow a 3-1 lead and the head coach is safe But then it came out after he got after they got eliminated that you know what? No, they're gonna keep Doc Rivers around I was like, okay, Doc Rivers is a good coach at the end of the day So it kind of makes sense that that you keep him around if you go back to the stories from last year Kawhi Leonard pointed at Doc Rivers like I want to play for him You know so to make sense I mean Kawhi is a superstar you keep the superstars coach if you want to keep the superstar So when they when they said that they were gonna keep him around like that's no big deal That makes a lot of sense and then out of nowhere boom But it might not be out of nowhere. I saw this on Reddit right in listen I brows right it a lot NBA ready can be super cool sometimes and sometimes you're like Is that is that what we're saying with a thousand upvotes? But this is actually a really good question that I wanted to try to answer somebody posed a question did the Clippers Steve bomber and the Clippers Wait until the Denver LA Lakers series was over to make their decision on Doc Rivers And I think that's an amazing question because I think the answer is yes And here's why they did it because they're trying they were trying to figure out. Did we really just blow this or Are the Denver Nuggets that real of a team? Could the different I could do the same thing to the Lakers that they did to us and we found out nope You know LeBron Anthony Davis shut that down quick Yeah, the Denver Nuggets got one game but that was pretty much it they got one game But it's pretty much it yes They were in the series, but it was pretty much it they did not allow the Denver Nuggets to be the combat kids Like they have been in the previous two series So Steve bomber was just like maybe the Denver Nuggets are better than everybody expected Which is true, but they weren't up to the level where we should have been blowing to 20 point leads to close out a series So once they saw that and they saw the Denver Nuggets got got defeated by the Lakers That's and they made the decision and one thing I'm dreading is That I'm gonna upload this video and then like 30 minutes after upload this video There's gonna be more news about him being fired and more of the reasoning why he was fired You know cuz all of that stuff will come to to the surface one day And I'm guessing it's gonna happen like right after I'm done recording and then his video is gonna be obsolete But this is what we know so far This was strictly a Steve bomber decision the owner. He talked to a bunch of people in the organization He talked to Kawaii. He talked to Paul George. Uh-oh Homeboy's leaving. All right. He don't like this topic He talked to a lot of players in any organization players included and no matter what nobody said he was hell bent on Firing dock rivers again. It makes sense. You do not blow to 20 point leads and close out games and think you're gonna keep your job So he made that decision and one thing that is that is very interesting is like yeah He talked to Kawaii. He talked to Paul George, but let's keep it a buck When you're a superstar of a team What you say kind of goes? Especially if you're a superstar of a team on the last year of your contract So if Kawaii Leonard was talking to Steve bomber and he was like no, I want doc to be our coach doc would still be the coach right now This means that he called Kawaii. He called Paul George and he was just like I don't care Steve bomber can't afford to lose though guys He gave everything to give these time these guys time with the Clippers So whatever they really say should be going which means that they didn't say anything they didn't offend doc rivers None of the players have defended doc rivers so far. It's been 24 hours Matres hero has been tweeting none of it was like not coach Probably because he added there too. Let's keep it a buck But you get what I'm saying when the superstar player wants a guy to be their head coach That's usually gonna be the guy when LeBron wanted Tyron Lou Tyron Lou was the coach That's just the way it is especially considering Kawaii is on the last year of his deal Whatever Kawaii says is going to be law with the Clippers It has to be because of he walks and Paul George walks. What do you have no picks and Zubax that's your team So tells me that nobody nobody cared about doc rivers being around anymore And it's funny because like I mentioned before he signed with the Clippers He pointed at doc rivers and he was like and I'm talking about Kawaii He said I want to play for you and a lot of things have changed in the year this Clippers team When when we uploaded those videos talking about how bad the Clippers were in this series me Rusty every NBA youtuber that created a video about the Clippers that night or the next day Hit all-time numbers We all were eating on that because the Clippers had turned themselves into villains Without having any success think about all the fan bases that they upset We can go down it the trailblazer fan base You remember when when Damien Lillard pointed at Patrick Beverly in the boat was like I want you out here the day missed the free throws and then they were on the bench Dame time Dame time Dame time Everybody in trailer Portland trailblazers fandom hates the Clippers cool You remember when Marcus Moore stepped on Lucas foot on his his foot that he was hurt on Everybody and Mavs fandom don't it hates them now, and you know what I fell in that too I hate dirty plays and dirty players and that immediately turned me off to the team Immediately it turned me off to the team and then you see them on slam magazine all swagged out who gonna beat us It robbed people the wrong way So we have this team Undoubtedly with the talent to be a good team to be a championship level team again They were the favorite for a reason but they did it back it up So all little people in NBA fandom are like yes, we want to see them We want to see them fail to an extent Maybe that's going a little bit far But seeing all these misfortunes is not like I feel bad for the Clippers because they put themselves in this position They put themselves into this position So we already saw that Doc Rivers had been contacted by the 76ers and the the pelicans They didn't waste no time. They like is at the end of the day Doc Rivers is a good coach. I will say that until he proves to me Otherwise he is a good coach. He may not be a great coach And to win an NBA championship unless you literally have to top whatever players you need to be a great coach. I Mean there have been times we're like now now that the Clippers are out people are coming to the light We're talking about reporters and writers and stuff and they're writing articles about Why this Clippers team was unsuccessful and one of the things that's been pointed out a lot is the misuse of Montress Herald in the bubble Montress Herald was coming off an injury and then he had to leave the bubble because his grandmother had passed away May she rest in peace so he came back to the bubble and he was not in shape He did not give it all on the defensive side of the ball But because Montress Herald was a sixth man of the year and he had the reputation over the season of being a very decent player Doc Rivers kind of rolled with him and just hopes that one do out the course of this bubble He'll get it back on the defensive side of the ball He'll have the same energy that we saw him have and it never happened And you have to look at yourself in a mirror when you're when you're about to try to get out of a series You're like, you know what? Maybe Montrails hasn't been the reason. I mean, maybe Montress is the reason why we can't stop Yolkitsch, maybe Montress Herald was the reason why before Chris Stapps went down with an injury They were looking so good and then statistically and it says it too I mean the on-off numbers between was Zubat was on the floor and when Montress Herald was on the floor We're dramatically different. We're talking about a plus 17 and then like a minus 15 The team was better with Zubat on the floor and somehow Doc Rivers allowed it to be that well We're going with Montress We're going with Montress. We're going with Lou Williams Even though every time we play against a good team they find a way to get a switch on to Lou Williams Just different stuff like that. It's just a small extra nose and at the end of the day This was this was Blake Griffin who said this and I don't remember where he said it Maybe on the podcast. I don't really remember. He was like coaching. It's like 95% dealing with egos Right. It's like 95% dealing with egos and the Clippers roster that Clippers the locker room had a bunch of different egos from players That didn't even have the reputation of being winners. Why didn't have an ego? His marketing campaign said it was his city, but I don't think that was quite learning I think that was new balance like hey, you're you're good enough now. You're the guy in LA I think that wasn't kawai. I think that was marketing But he was the only winner in the whole roster and he was the most quiet guy of them all everybody else was yeah Paul George's yeah, Patrick Beverly Montress everybody else in the organization on this roster was yapping at the mouth When none of them had done anything to be successful at that point, you know, so this next coach I don't know who it's gonna be. There's already rumors of like Tyron Lou Sam Cassell is already on the coaching staff. So maybe he gets promoted, but whoever it is has to get these egos Under wraps and maybe maybe this this terrible run that they just went on is going to be the reason why players don't talk as much This season as they did last season or something like that But I mean I've seen Clippers fans just say like we're cursed And you know what I mean the argument is there think about all the things if y'all have been through as a fan again The fans don't control what that heck Paul George says. They're just fans All this stuff that y'all been through I mean the live city days a few of those teams could have been championship contending teams and then you have a Chris Paul quad injury You have a Blake Griffin finger injury The rails that and then you get to this point and Paul George is not nearly the player that he was before you know You also have stuff like Hawaii linus trainer taking shots of players too Kauai linus trainer if you did not know he's on he's on Twitter I don't know it's at so I can't give you like the receipts, but I I saw it on Twitter somebody screenshotted They he's basically he was talking trash about Montres hero He basically said that on the Clippers need a dog like the white Howard This is doing the series with the white Howard I guess yo kids was looking pretty good talking about like game one and you know He had his moments too when he got into that start lineup where he really flustered yo kids So shut out to that he was saying that the Clippers needed a dog like the white not like one of the guys like Montres hero Interesting and he also said things along the lines as Paul George is one of the lowest basketball IQ's I've ever seen Again Kauai does control what his trainer says this is they have their own brains and platforms and stuff But there's a type of stuff that is going on and that's not even mentioning the things that are happening in the locker room Right you remember the report came out right after they blew the 3-1 lead Paul George stands up on some like remember the Titans type stuff It was like don't worry guys. Just come back next year. Let's run it back And they were like players like my choice like I got a bag coming from Charlotte probably by Just just everything just didn't it didn't work out. It just didn't work out and is a prime example of like Kids just create a championship team like that You know the blueprint and I think the blueprint is there for the Clippers if next year They bring back pretty much the same roster and the next year the Clippers are champions That wouldn't be a surprise to anybody because we know they have talent there But it's more than just putting together a good group of basketball guys It's about the locker room Personalities it's about it's about all of that stuff and I think that is something that the Clippers kind of missed out on I think that's something that the Clippers kind of missed out on So yeah, Doc Rivers is out and we don't know what the future of the Clippers look like But I have to say whoever they sign You better hope that Kauai Linda loves that boy because if he doesn't you better hope all George loves that boy because if he doesn't The Clippers are about to go right up to right back into obscurity Just like that You have you have two years two years of being real contenders in them if they leave you're right back into obscurity Which is? It's kind of trash. Thank you all so much. That's my Clippers. You enjoyed it. Leave it a like subscribe. I'm out
