ESPN NBA analyst and former Celtics, Clippers and 76ers head coach Doc Rivers joins the Dan Patrick Show and opens up about his relationship with James Harden
I remember last season when Harden was taking less shots & passing more, Doc would say he needs to be more aggressive. But when Harden was taking more shots, Doc would say he needs to move the ball more & not chase numbers. Like what da hell Doc😅
Aggressive means keep attacking and running the offense, not necessarily take more shots if it isn’t there. But idk, doc didn’t make the best decisions in the playoffs during the clippers era.
The Sixers chose Harden over Doc and now Harden doesn't even want to be there. Some of these players have power that they didn't earn and don't deserve to have.
Given Beard’s career appraisal and its vulnerability to being furthered declined strictly due to perception, it makes sense that Beard fights and takes action to sustain its level.
Doc is a fantastic analyst and he gives honest reviews. He blew 3-1 leads and failed to adjust in the playoffs semifinals vs boston year after year but it also sounds like his players tuned him out ala Harden
Does this surprise anyone he cried over losing 3 mvps in the midst of being on a contender that had a legit chance to win a championship harden only cares about harden bottom line there is no such thing as a greater good when it comes to sacrificing for a team in his mind it’s his way or he wants out
It's almost as if some people have never played sports before. You can try to lead your team or the league in assists and it's strictly for yourself. So you can use it during contract negotiations. If you believe James Harden is an unselfish player I've got some ocean front property in Arizona id like to sell you.
I wonder if Harden not coming to the All Star game the year before played into the decision of not voting him and All Star. They don't want to add players that won't show up.
Doc stop it 😂😂😂 you're the first coach who wants a scorer not to score. When you won a championship these players weren't in the league: Curry Harden Dame PG13 Kawhi Klay Draymond Any coach could have won wth that Boston squad in 2008 Popovich Mike Brown Spoelstra Kerr Budenhoelzer Nurse
If harden is going to pout because he didn’t make the all star team that tells you all you need to know about him. He’s all about himself rather than winning.
The guy who has now been traded 4 times cause he keeps demanding trades. The guy who can't get to the Finals. The guy who repeatedly doesn't show up in big playoff games. This player is undervalued? Watch how he wrecks the Clippers now that he's there. Cause he's a cancer.
Well who would not be pissed and felt disrespected if u had a great regular season, u get other guys involved, ur an assist leader then all of a sudden the league decided to cut u from the All Star? I mean no matter how great this dude plays, u could tell how much disrespect this guy is getting from the league.

For real
Exactly.
Exactly. Doc said this in several interviews during the season.
Yea but the point of being agressive is to hit something..not to miss everything
Aggressive means keep attacking and running the offense, not necessarily take more shots if it isn’t there. But idk, doc didn’t make the best decisions in the playoffs during the clippers era.
Best thing i heard from a person talking about harden everybody be so negative like they know him
Wtf are you trying to say? I’m confused due to the run on sentences lmao
@EverydayWithBobby You must be slow!?? I'm not about to write sentences on CZcams 😂😂
@@ateambae2126 Almost every comment left on youtube is in sentence form. And you're calling people slow?
The Sixers chose Harden over Doc and now Harden doesn't even want to be there. Some of these players have power that they didn't earn and don't deserve to have.
lol harden did that with Kevin mchale like a decade ago
Translation :::Welllll, Harden is an ON/OFF MF….. in a crunch you CAN’T depend on the MF.

If Harden's all about himself, he would have not got his teammates involved the whole season, he would have not been an assist leader.
Assists aren’t reflective of how shitty a person is off the court James…I thought that was common knowledge lmao

So doc was the one telling him not to score?!!? 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ that’s why we got that playoff performance from him?!
doc legit saying, it was bad that he was "attacking and playing" like aint no way
I wonder if Harden not coming to the All Star game the year before played into the decision of not voting him and All Star. They don't want to add players that won't show up.
Doc stop it 😂😂😂 you're the first coach who wants a scorer not to score. When you won a championship these players weren't in the league:
Curry
Harden
Dame
PG13
Kawhi
Klay
Draymond
Any coach could have won wth that Boston squad in 2008
Popovich
Mike Brown
Spoelstra
Kerr
Budenhoelzer
Nurse
still wonder what happened in Harden's last game ,a no show
Doc is salty. Hardens numbers didn’t change after the all star break
Game 6 and 7 vs the Celtics 😂
Doc is no longer the Coach! They should be asking Nick "garbage"Nurse these questions
I’m not sure if I agree with doc on this one
If harden is going to pout because he didn’t make the all star team that tells you all you need to know about him. He’s all about himself rather than winning.
His scoring and assists didn’t change a bit. Doc is lying
Can't wait to see how he forces himself out of LA.
Beard is painfully undervalued.
The guy who has now been traded 4 times cause he keeps demanding trades. The guy who can't get to the Finals. The guy who repeatedly doesn't show up in big playoff games. This player is undervalued? Watch how he wrecks the Clippers now that he's there. Cause he's a cancer.
This aged well
@@joshuaarandt2448 Clips are looking pretty good right now, right?

Devastatingly good

Same dude that believed his son was better than CP3.
Doc - you lost a playoffs series the Sixers should have won. That’s why you aren’t coaching.
Doc is trash but he wasn't out there missing shots and turning the ball over in games 6 and 7 vs the Celtics.
Well who would not be pissed and felt disrespected if u had a great regular season, u get other guys involved, ur an assist leader then all of a sudden the league decided to cut u from the All Star?

That cost him his contract
