It is what he deserves. He gave us nine strong years and a championship.

I hope you will all join me.

he did not give us a championship, the players did. Now go ahead and give him that standing O.

He deserves it just as much as the players on 2008 roster did. I'm with JSD on this. He won a ring as the coach of this team back in 2008 and did pretty well until 2010 if not 2011.

that championship was won in spite of him. Now go ahead and give him that standing O, but when you do make sure you know what it is for -- that clipper #1.

Since you're taking orders, I want a couple sarcastic slow claps and a couple genuine claps.

I'm gonna stand up so he can hear me boo better!  Doc is a facilitator, he facilitated a team that was hungry for a world title and facilitated a lineup that was made of all stars.  So no, he doesn't deserve a standing ovation.

How does one clap in order to communicate, "Thank you for the championship, now keep your thoughts about the team to yourself and stop acting like you didn't bail on the franchise and players to whom you claimed to be so loyal"?

I would do the same.

We have a great coach now.  I'm past it.

The day after he admitted he totally quit on the team and city, you want to give him a standing O.  Your choice, but not something I would do. 

Also, if you didn't give Ray Allen a standing O then it would completely hypocritical to give one to Doc.
