Coming from a coach, that too of Doc Rivers' calibre, what do y'all think?

Rivers is an underachieving loser, but he is right.

We are good, but not THE team to beat right now. I think we get exposed in the playoffs. Our lack of defense, and athleticism will be exploited.
Would love to be wrong, but it seems to clear right now.

Maybe that will force DL to make some offseason moves.

On the flip side: The X factor could be Bogey. If he is able to turn it on, and have an amazing playoffs we could make the run. I keep holding out hope, but it's
been frustrating watching him so far.

He would go in to talk about how Joel is MVP, Ben is DPOY, shake is 6th man, Seth Curry is most improved and he is coach of the year.

Keep our team and players out ya mouf!

 

[Alpy]

He is right about that and that's ok.

I hope everyone is sleeping on us. It will make it that much sweeter if we pull it off.

I think he’s up for a Pulitzer as well.

Cowhide claims that the Sixers are NOT the team to beat in the EAST!!!!!

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Not sure why he cares. He won’t be playing any West teams in the playoffs.

Though this pales in comparison to the patheticness of them just constantly begging for Simmons to get DPOY when there is no argument for it whatsoever. Pretty sad.

Some saying his statement is true are correct. The west is different... so many good teams there is no one team to beat. His statement is like someone saying “hey this is a nice house you have here... it’s not as good as the Smith’s or Thomas’... I’m just being honest”. Yeah well go to hell cuz no one asked you.

This guy ain’t even a real doctor... GTFOH

We are the team to beat as long as we have the #1 seed. Playoffs run through Utah as of today.

It's weird especially one can still make some argument on which team is the one beat in the West, whereas Nets is CLEARLY the team to beat in the East right now.

Doc always has something to say.
