man, I just have one big, fat question. What does Doc see in Boston? This is just unbelievable. Hey, lets coach a really sucky team with no prospects.

Agree, Boston has 3 first round picks, some nice role players, and pierce. He gotta deal with Rickey Buckets, which is not pleasent task.

ITs a great job ain a great city. Boston has racial tension under the surface, but its a great city with good upside.

I hope doc does well, but I hate the freakin celts. In a perfect world, they are good rivalries with the knicks coming out on top!

Being a long time fan, I understand what redsox fans go thru. The Celts are a storied franchise historically rebuilding again. The lossof Reggie lewis and Len Bias set them back huge, and in this day and age they are just another team, but forever they were the league's best franchise. Kinda like the yankees have been in baseball.
I think Ainge short term is hurting with the Raef-Walker trade, some of those draft picks will turn out, and Raef will be a good servicable player when healthy. Sometimes the best moves take a year or two to be realized. Ainge made a good hire, although I was rooting for Dennis Johnson, he has paid his dues coaching and one of the good guys over the years.

what is the deal with Pierce? I heard that he wants out of Boston, if that is the case, he would be a perfect fit for the Knicks.

This sucks. We now have the 2nd worst coach in our division. If Toronto gets a good coach in the offseason, we are scr*wed.

What exactly makes Doc such a good coach? I haven't seen anything from him that makes me think he is better than Lenny.

Why do the Knicks have the second worse coach in the division?

I believe Don Chaney was the worst. Lenny Wilkins is not a bad coach. Why is he so bad? I don't see where that's coming from. I think in half a season he changed the Knicks offense for the better. He'll have a training camp and the Knicks will be going into their first season free of everything Riley instilled on the franchise.

Relax....Doc Rivers is not that great of a coach. He is good but relax. Lenny has been in the game this long for a reason.

If you are a professional you don't need anyone to motivate you. The fact that you have pride in yourself and there is a championship to win should be enough.

Fact is the Knicks onlt had a less than 2 months to get it together. They have been injured through the majority of that time.

The Knicks could go into next season with the same roster, and if they can remain healthy they could easily be 4th-5th best in the east.

The plan is to be #1....not 4-5.

NO disrespect my brother, but Lenny has earned my disrespect just for the simple fact that he lost us those four games. No good coach would have put up with Anderson's inability to play basketball.
