Should Doc Rivers be fired?

[Plewis]

The question is simple, do you think Doc Rivers should be let go? or should he be allowed to continue with the Celts?

Personally, I think Rondo's injury played a huge part in the Celtics only winning one game. I also think Ray Allen really didn't show up, usually he's good for at least 1 game a series where his deadly 3-ball decides the game. In this series, save a few nasty dunks, he really didn't do much. I did not see the Ray Allen that runs through picks all over the 3-point line to get 2 inches to get off a shot. Was that Doc Rivers fault? Maybe he takes some of the blame, but you certainly can't blame Doc for Rondo's injury.

I think you got to give Doc at least one more year to see what he can do.... maybe a Garnett trade or something, open up some cap space and sign somebody. The Celtics should not be "blown up," maybe retooled a bit.

No... I think that mid-season trade deal hurt them.

It was the kendrick Perkins trade. they messed up the team chemistry and rondos injury was a big blow. I say they bring Doc back he's a good coach but his team is getting OLD gotta start planning for the future now.

Coaching wasnt the issue.... the trade didnt affect the team as much as is lead on. The main problem is the fact that the best players on the team (except Rondo) are old.

Perkins made it clear that he wanted more money than he was worth this offseason. they made a move to get younger and I think it was the first of a few more to come this summer.

Rivers should not be fired

Plus ESPN is reporting he signed a multi-year deal today...

Just for the sake of thread continuity, No he should not be fired.

Definitely one of the better coaches in the league, whose loses and shortcomings are only to be blamed on injuries.

He's a great coach.

Also, didn't he want to hang em up anyways?

I think he's overrated personally, but he shouldn't be fired
