Did Doc ever get them past the 1st round before the big 3?
These things always come full circle dont they. MDA sucks. Get a new coach. Same results. Lets look at new coaches. But lets pick one this time with a track record for winning with mediocre talent because thats what we have. Oh wait... there arent any.Doc had a great year coaching a nobody team to the playoffs after they cleared all their space for TMac and GHill:

Coaching is silly. End of the day we are built around a couple of 40% volume shooter. CAnt be suprised when the playoffs start and the shots stop falling. Rotate the coach every year. Folks need to realize its not the coach.
Don't blame the 40% shooters for lack of offensive creativity. It was Woody calling for iso Melo. It was Woody who thought he could rehab Smith to be a second option. It was Woody who put the game plan together it was pretty obvious the players were executing his plan and it sucks in the playoffs. I like his defense first approach but Woody has to increase the level of team oriented offensive execution, Woody failed miserably at that.
my take as well. The coach is responsible for offensive schemes. I don't Blame Melo for the Iso Melo game plan because the coach obviously called for it.
coaches responsibility. OK. Didnt the last coach draw up pretty good offensive schemes? Wasnt he regarded as one of the best offensive coaches in the NBA? Soo..... first MElo fails to excell at point forward. Then he refuses to "sit in the corner and wait for the ball to come to him."
Want to know what I blame the 40% shooters for? Shooting 40%.
Ten years now guys... we still going to pretend the problem is the coach?
Man... I would just love to underperform at work every year, then blame my manager for not putting me in the right position to succeed. That would be a good gig.
