“We had to sit you” Austin was right there on the bench next to him lol
He was one of the closers lol.
@@OMG-si3wn I remember CP3 was asking why is Austin in final line ups over JJ along with most of the team LOL.
Lmfaoo 😂😂😂
Right 😂😂
@@hungerxhunger2548daaaaaamn
JJ having his best years in LA doesn’t negate the fact that doc isn’t accountable lmao, why is Austin correlating those 2
Jj saying all that means more now cuz he’ll speak his mind about players or coaches no matter the relationship or lack there of. He knows he’ll see these people lol
You can’t be accountable if not held responsible, so jj did lie
JJ also in his prime with one of the best PG to ever do it. Of course he had his best years in LA😂 …Austin gotta stop. Also he blames the 3-1 lead on players not wanting to be there. I’m sorry they wanted to be there enough to win 3 games and then just quit? If your team doesn’t want to be there or isn’t in the right head space, your LEADER gets you there.
Seek God
@@alexmiracle6036SG you mean and best to EVER do it? You do know what players played SG right? Jordan, Kobe, Wade, Pierce, Ray Allen Reggie Miller etc he wasn’t better than any of them guys and I’ll also throw in Klay Thompson and Kyle Korver over him too… But this list goes on, and ONNN
Accountability ≠ Responsibility
Funny they left out when JJ later said that what he was saying had nothing to do with Doc's coaching ability, which makes Austin's point about JJ's best years moot. He was talking exclusively about Doc's constant excuses.
I get what you're trying to say but you do know that accountability and responsibility are one and the same thing. They are what you call synonyms.
@@KreepKid Even if they are essentially the same word, the difference is that in Austin's examples of Doc being "responsible" for losses, he is not the one being responsible himself, he is being HELD responsible or accountable by other people. JJ wants Doc to TAKE accountability, not be held responsible.
@@KreepKid responsibility is more in the lines of duty. He was responsible for coaching his team at a high level and competing for a championship with the hopes of eventually winning one. Accountability is being able to take ownership of your performance and admit your shortcomings. Doc Rivers has basically made excuses on EVERY SINGLE one of the teams he's coached up to this point and called out individual players. He is not taking accountability at all.
@@KreepKidthey aren’t synonymous in the literal definition of the words but even if they were in the context of JJ’s statement it’s irrelevant. The OP stated his comment perfectly
james harden didnt want to play with doc. everyone know, doc cant coach divas or soft guy. which was doc said.
Austin using “we” multiple times was wild
Right as if he was assistant coach lol
he was on the clippers. it's completely normal to refer to your team as "we". tf are you on about?
@@Evan-gi1hs right?? Even fans say "we" and "my"
Tell me you’re a casual without telling me you’re a casual fan
@@loso3189 These guys dont even know Austin Rivers was on the clippers smh💀
I Respect someone standing up for their DAD but JJ was 1000% correct
Yes he is. If doc was held accountable he wouldn’t have so many opportunities even until now as if there’re no other coaches in this world who can coach nba teams.
JJ is full of 💩
Well yeah but he's acting as if he's not doing that when it's obvious he is sticking up for his father! I'm just saying don't act like you are not bias towards your father when it's obvious that you are! Just own up to it! And don't say I'm not taking up for my dad when you you did just that!! 😂
There’s a fine line between standing up for someone and straight up coddling. You can still love your family while also acknowledging their faults. Everything JJ said was 100% correct, yet all Austin could do was to say that JJs best years were with the clippers, which has nothing to do with what he said
@@gerardosigaran8665 Exactly! 😂
lmfao ESPN generating drama within their own employees since the NBA is barebones on the drama side right now
Big facts!!🤣🤣
And I love it!!
ESPN SO MESSY FOR THIS 😭😭😭😭
They have no defense cause the offence is so good☺️
Seek God
"WE had to sit you..." 🤔 That was kinda weird. Austin acting like he was on the coaching staff.
Should tell you why his teammates didn’t like son of Doc on the squad.
Well to be fair, Austin's on the bench longer than he played for and probably felt he was a part of the coaching staff who were majority of the times sitting down on the bench lol
He was on the team 😂
he said it like he wasnt sitting on the bench either jj every time😂😂😂😂
Yes. It was definitely weird & confirms why he’s not respected by so many other NBA players.
Austin thinks his assessment of jj Reddick as a player helps disprove jjs point of accountability....that means you took it personally.
Austin taking personal shots whereas J.J. was just making an unbiased opinion. J.J. is right about Doc. And he's still coasting off that title he won with the Celtics
Im with JJ on this
He white of course
@zozoridgenal7894 doc rivers haven't done sh*t since the 2008 finals
😂 JJ be spitting those fireballs like Mario 👉 🔥🔥🔥🔥 whenever he has something sternly to say.
@@zozoridgenal7894The background screen of the CZcams app is white.
What are you even talking about here 😂
The coach don't put the ball in the basket now so they.
It’s true that Doc always blames players.
Literally threw Ben Simmons under the bus after they lost against the Hawks.
@@cryptidian3530 to be fair, that was definitely Ben Simmons fault
Players have to play, coaches can't put the ball in the basket.
You can’t be accountable if not held responsible, so jj did lie
Because some players don't show up when they need too
A simple search says the best two years of his career were under brett brown and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Clippers fan here...JJ most valuable years were the time he spent with the Clippers. He became an integral part of the team and one of the leaders in the locker room.
Although statistically JJ was better under coach Brown, he was more important to the Clippers than he was for the 76ers.
So yes, JJ had his best and most successful years in LA
@@MauriS69what were austin rivers best years? i couldnt tell ya bc he rarely played💀💀
2016 was his best season. You would know that if you watched basketball rather than just basing your opinions off Google searches. You seem like another casual who overvalues PPG.
Where ever his best years was doesn't matter, the fact is Both Rivers are Trash!
He was awesome on the Sixers. Him off ball with guys who don’t just catch oops, he could’ve been hoopin on a lot of teams
Austin Rivers' reasoning is at par with Doc Rivers' track record.
Wow
@@JAXTWINfacts
Regardless if his best years were in LA he still didnt lie 🤷🏾♂️
Pretty sure that WAS during his athletic prime tho too lol
Exactly!! People start taking arguments in different directions when they have no real refutes. Doc has underperformed and constantly blaming everyone else.
@@BKnight7z quiet as kept he had better numbers in philly than with the clippers. Doc not above criticism he blew 3 3-1 leads so we gotta take that seriously lol
His best years were in Philly next to joel
Still here
ESPN not right for asking Austin to respond, they knew exactly what they were doing 😂😮
It's part of his AND Doc's contract 😭😭
@@eobardjohnyou laughing but that’s real. They was a package deal.
Yeah it's a tv show and drama pulls views an im sure jj has no problem having him up there he gets it
🎉heu what was wrong ?? he said he love JJ🤔
Nah. /
Also, Doc Rivers-coached teams are 16-33 when they have three wins in a seven-game series.
ouch meaning he's lost double the amount of times he's won when series' were actually winnable.
That's half the story how many superstars was injured is what u cats don't wanna say.
@theetruth8626 players are always injured even on the other teams that's no excuse
@@theetruth8626literally no one was injured and his opponents had more injuries stop
@@123shoshan why do you get on here and comment and don't know nothing about what u talking about.?
This is the response we needed, a complete unbiased opinion.
lmfaoo
i do think it was a lil unbias, but dox rivers getting hired AGAIN AND AGAIN might means hes never held accountable...maybe thats wat JJ means
this was hilarious
😂😂
Lmfaoooooo
Bro just wants to come home 😂😂😂😂😂
JJ is too real for ESPN!
Shame how ESPN tryna push a beef that’s not even there.
Same people that tried to turn the world against Kyrie then act like they didn't
its been there dont get it twisted. JJ decided to turn it up today fosho
@@misters4022 JJ knew this was coming remember when Austin went in on sixers management.. JJ knew he would do this and I bet he’s ready they hated that he signed his son to back up CP3 in lob city
It Sales!!!!
You must be new here! JJ and Jamal Crawford said this same thing already about a year ago…. It’s not “beef” it’s truth ! Stop whining
So much shade being thrown around here. JJ is 100% right on the money with the Doc Rivers take. Austin talking about being fired after a 3-1 lead, my dude, he dropped a HISTORIC number of 3-1 leads in the playoffs. Dropping a 3-1 lead is worse than getting swept. At least getting swept means you were just outmatched and outclassed, and that's okay because that usually ends up a conversation about either the GM or the Coach being the problem from public perception. In Doc's case, he was both a lot of the time too.
Great analogy‼️‼️🎯
So where is the lack of accountability jj talked about ?
They were outmatched look at the players numbers in those game 7's JJ in particular was 🐶💩
The question isn’t even about Docs coaching ability. It’s JJ’s really angry claims that doc has no accountability. How can anyone claim that when he has been fired multiple times?
Austin bringing up half that Clippers team not wanting to be there is further proving JJ's point about the lack of accountability for Doc. Right there Austin is making excuses for Doc. If half the team didn't want to be there, that's on the coach for not keeping them locked in and focused.
Austin tried to make it personal saying JJ was strictly a shooter unlike Klay and Steph. Subtle shots.
Yeah it was weird. Klay really don’t even put the ball on the deck
11 dribbles is all imma say. How is that not just shooting 😂
Was he lying tho
no but thats not the point, the point is its not relevant to doc rivers coaching lol@@xram6327
“I know we had to sit you due to defensive reasons” more shots fired lol
JJ didn’t say Doc is never held accountable, son.
Said Doc always makes excuses and points fingers. Which is accurate.
Who plays in the games is it the coach or the players?
1:09 you can be fired for something without taking accountability for it. 😂
Right like just cause they held him responsible doesn’t mean he agrees that he should be held responsible
accountable and responsible are completely different
Exactly just cause he was held responsible doesn’t mean he takes accountability for his shortcomings
Austin: “I don’t want to take up for my dad”
Also Austin: proceeds to “take up” for his dad
JJ is 100% right with his take. There’s no need for me or anyone to even further explain, or trivialize it. Man has been living off that 1 ring in 08 for eons.
He won a ring with Ubuntu and chose drama for the rest of his career.
JJ is wrong tho because we never seen Doc takeover a new team in the middle of the season. This is an anomaly compared to the previous years.
ESPN went from the world wide leader in sports to the world wide leader in drama 😂
Quick😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Blame SAS
This is what you females like anyways…😂😂😂
Like all TV it's all about the ratings baby 😂
Getting multiple women on every single sports panel, never saw it coming.
"Here comes Austin Rivers" with the totally unbiased take.
Yes unbiased cause JJ best years was with the clips
Such an unbiased defense of Doc Rivers.
"we needed to sit you at the end of games".....that "WE" is crazy though, given you were a player and not a member of the coaching staff.
Austin Rivers talking about someone having to sit for defensive reasons is near unhinged. Did I miss something...am I in the wrong universe...when did Austin Rivers become a defender?
Look at Stephen A & Shannon’s faces lmfao
Sas looks agitated but Shannon looks like he wanna laugh
Stephen A having flash backs of Max.
SA actually agrees. He was instigating..."what's the trend🤔"
He just doesn't want to go so hard on Doc b/c they're cool. @@TaiAkinz
ESPN Messi for this lol
Awesome show, thanks.
Austin clearly in his feelings, which is understandable.
Yea can't really expect objectivity 😂
What did you expect him to say?
@@usmcmikeco0651 I'm unsure about which part of "which is understandable" is such a mystery to you.
“We had to sit you” coming out of Austin rivers mouth is hilarious. Dude you were trash and a benchwarmer for majority of your career
Not defending Doc or Austin, but since Austin’s not qualified to say what he said about JJ Reddick, I hope I don’t see you criticizing ANY professional athlete ever. I agree with what JJ Reddick said btw.
Yeah. But he was still better than you me and all of us. We must put the term “trash” in context.
@@KingCarolina_ I’m not an nba player.. i can judge players how i see fit
@@haywood0457 yet I bet this guy has a lot to say about plenty of pro athletes but has an issue like other people with a former NBA player criticizing another former NBA player. And Austin is wrong. JJ is right.
@@haywood0457 uh obviously we aren’t in the nba? I’m talking trash in NBA terms. For example kwame brown played in the nba. He was trash
JJ was also in his prime with Doc Rivers, so that's not the best argument
Prime ain’t got nothing to do with a coach allowing you to spread you’re wings lol we can say that Steve Kerr brought the best out in Steph career wise vs mark Jackson
JJ could’ve been JJ on any team
JJ Redick had good years with the Clippers because he worked hard to become a high quality nba player!
The other big reason is because there was no way the Clippers would start Austin Rivers over JJ Reddick in that lineup.
Curry was setting records with mark jackson too
What a great video! I always wondered what winter camping was like.
Jj had good years in Orlando too
True, but his best years were with the Clippers and the 76ers.
You can HOLD someone Accountable, but THEY MUST TAKE ACCOUNT. Not dodge or give excuses
A moment finally fitting for Austin 😂
Love the response great energy and Austin your the man so professional wow man
I like how he handled that👏
Austin was like don’t come for my Dad JJ 😂
I did not understand what was rivers point
You are taking up for your Dad. Everything JJ said is spot on! No lies told at all!
I love this!!!!!!😂😂😂
Tough spot to put Austin in but he handled it very well
The producers messy for that lol
Lil bit of Dukie on Dukie violence. I'm all for it😂. Go 'Heels 🩵🐏🩵🐏😁
Well spoken guy! Love it!
I respect the way Austin handled himself here. But JJ is 100% right. Ive been saying for a long time that Doc has been riding the 08 Celtics 🏆 for 15 years. I’ve never seen a coach more consistently throw his own players under the bus. The decade long trend of underachieving and blown 3-1 leads is embarrassing.
Finally somebody points this out! Riding the one championship with a stacked team for a decade and a half.
Are we having a beef on live air?
Of course Austin is gonna have his dad's back, we need a non-bias opinion
Me with popcorn 🍿 loving this drama 🤣🤣🤣
ESPN loves this
You know jj spitting facts when they bringing up his playing years 😂😂
Rivers is right and JJ is right 😂
What a good good response woow young man I'll make sure I send it to my kids perfect
JJ's energy is indicative of something personal within the situation. Because he did play for him
Austin: I'm not going to defend my father he's a grown man.
Also Austin: I'm going to defend my father.
Sounds like lebron but he never rants about him lol notice the energy
Of course you would make this comment Lebron lives rent free in your head 😂😂
Probably because Bron has 4 rings and 9 finals appearances... Doc has 1 ring and 2 appearances.... You would have to hold LeBron responsible for having the greatest career resume in history...
Lebron gets criticized for taking the 2020 playoff run seriously because other guys didn’t 😂. Think about that
100% w/ JJ on this
Rasheed Wallace even said this a year ago and nobody cried. JJ is saying what every other person has said years before him saying it. The excuse of JJ having his best years under him doesn't negate the fact it's true.
He actually had some of his best years in Philly. I’d say Philly and clippers years were the best but imo Philly was better because with Joel he always had wide open shots.
It's not just Sheed, Big Baby mentioned it several times as well.
Both JJ and Austin were correct in their assessment.
Austin was more wrong tho. Jj was a better sixer then a LA Clipper
Austin’s response had nothing to do with JJ’s take though.
Not even close. Austin incorrectly assumed that being held accountable and taking accountability are the same thing. They aren’t. Your boss will hold you accountable for doing your job, but you need to take accountability and admit when it’s your fault that you didn’t do your job.
@@Smallvillefreak I can agree with that. 👍🏽
Austin cutting promos like WWE 😂
Whole time I’m thinking this is Danny Green😂
Yup exactly JJ becoming who he used to talk about as a player
rivers was right.
No he wasn’t he was on a super team of course his numbers will be better and he started
How.
Couple of Duke boys going at it. Classic 👍👍😄😄✌️✌️
No matter what pat and austin say , Jj stands correct 💯
JJ Reddick Is a choker
N joker 🤡
@@ClownKiller1 😂
I didn’t know Dame and Middleton was missing those games
We’ve heard stories from the bubble that Doc was more concerned about his golf score than game 7. Just because JJ best years came when he was on the clippers but he’s not wrong.
Austin rivers.
The best unbiased guy to have a take on this. 😂
Austin Rivers pretty much saying stop talking bout my daddy 😂😂😂😂
I like how Austin Rivers said he didn't need to stick up for his daddy. Yet proceeds to stick up for his daddy lmao
"You drive a Tesla, how can you eat pork?!" makes as much sense as what Austin or Pat Bev said.
I’m really starting to like watching him nowadays
Respect
One of the most important attributes a coach can have is getting the best out of his players. If players don't want to be playing for you in the bubble that's on you
I hate when people "respond" by just throwing shade at a person instead of actually addressing what they're saying.
JJ is talking about self accountability, not others holding him responsible. Doc isn't firing himself.
Austin threw a lot of shade 🤣🤣🤣
vince mcmahon would be proud of the drama that ESPN is stirring up
I love JJ
I like Austin man he was a legendary high school player but JJ does make a strong argument
People holding you responsible and holding yourself accountable are two VERY different things
Respect both sides
Didn’t see this coming, but JJ was right!
You can’t come at his head like that and say that’s still my man’s 😂😂 naw he violated lol
ESPN employees having beef with each other is hilarious.
"we had to sit you" lol Austin was a coach
Rivers was a toddler when JJ was killing it in Orlando... So I guess he would say his best years were in LA. now Reddick did have great years on the Clippers!! 🤷 I get it, he gotta stand up for his pops... Makes sense!!
This is what analysis should be, first takes finally became good
Austine is biased towards his father. But JJ is just saying the obvious.
Idc whether Doc accepted the job mid-season, the fact is - HE DID TOOK THE OFFER and anyone with the right mind would know the level of responsibility you need to deal with coaching these Bucks.
JJ rules!!!!
Like kendrick, JJ should have gone "ask you daddy" 😂😂
Austin what does any of this mean!? 😂😂
Let's just call it what it is. Doc has had an elite NBA team to coach for the past 17 years since Boston got KG and Ray Allen. He then leaves the Celtics and the Celtics did just fine without him. He went to the Clippers and lost with a prime CP3, Blake, and DeAndre Jordan with decent shooters around the team. He then goes to Philly and has Ben Simmons, Harden, Embiid, and other talented players. Now he gets to coach a historically great player in Giannis and arguably the third best PG the past decade in Lillard. All of this to only have one ring is shameful. The guy has coached more NBA superstars and talent than any other coach but has one ring to show for it. And you could make a solid case that the Celtics won in spite of Doc.
They also had a 3-2 lead against Bron's Miami. Definitely a winnable series. Forgot to mention he had prime Rondo who was probably the 2nd or 3rd best PG at that time.
Rivers was spot on 100%
Let pops stand on his own! JJ was 1000% right 🤷🏿♂️
People will question why Doc's teams were never ready to play in game 5, 6 or 7 when they were up 3-1. But you have to remember, J.J had his best years under Doc
Being Fired is literally being held accountable 😂 The Doc trend is krazy rn
