Rasheed Wallace was on his podcast, That’s What Sheed Said, to give his thoughts on Doc Rivers and public scrutiny. It’s nothing we haven’t heard from a former player before:

It always comes back to in-game adjustments with Doc Rivers. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, that duck probably won’t make any in-game adjustments. Once Joe Mazzulla went to the double-big lineup in Game 6, Doc had no answer for it. He rode the pick and roll for as long as he could. The Sixers and Celtics ran two completely different offenses. There was a ton of standing around when Joel Embiid or James Harden had the ball. Possessions would typically end in settling for a three, a drive and step back, or Embiid trying to play bully ball down low looking to draw contact. Once the threes went cold for the Sixers, there was no answer. On the Celtics end, there was constant moving without the ball, drive and kick, and lobs to Robert Williams. It also helped Jayson Tatum went nuclear for the last five quarters of the series.

Anyway, this is like the fourth former player to come at Doc Rivers about his lack of adjustments and coaching style.

JJ Redick and Jamal Crawford talked about their time with him:

Paul George criticized his adjustments in LA as well:

Josh Smith went on one of the most legendary rants after Doc lost to the Hawks in Game 7:

It’s over for Doc. Or maybe it never even began. Hearing players would huddle up after timeouts to make adjustments themselves tells me the Celtics got to the finals in spite of him that year. No one on this Sixers team had the balls or even care to take it on themselves to make an adjustment mid-game. This team feels like they were more than happy to do what Doc said and then blame him if shit went south. That’s why we’re already hearing it’s either Harden or Doc, which is laughable in itself. Hearing demands from a guy who showed up in two out of the seven games is so ridiculous you almost have to respect it:
