    I could easily imagine him saying PLAYOFFS? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFFS?

    He might as well have pulled out an empty chair and did it Clint style.

    Why does Doug Collins keep getting chances in the NBA? Hiring him = mediocrity.

    Haven't watched the video yet but Doug Collins is a goner after the season. Players can't take him for more than a year or two. I said at the time the Sixers made a mistake hiring the guy.

    They better not choose him to coach Team USA.

    Wow. He did go off on them. Doing it with a relatively calm demeanor just made it more damning.

    this is pretty awful, they gave away a bunch of their assets for a soon to be free agent who never played a minute

    I'd be angry were I the coach.

    Really? All I got out of it is that "he cares more than anyone else" and " he is harder on himself than anyone else" and he has his team ready to play, and they are prepared... Sounded like an over blown windbag basically removing himself from liability, then making excuses for his teams failures and then saying "I am not making excuses".

    I would eventually tune him out as well if I were a player... Like the lyrics from a great song; he said a whole lot of nothing.

    How can anyone hate on Collins? The guy did a miraculous job last year and this season his main piece bynum has been out all year. The stuff he said during the post game conference were spot on as well.

    He was doing pretty well until they traded away all his talent for a gimp.

    You'll be PO too if they traded away your best defender, and two excellent prospect for an overweight center who can even get on the court.

    Collins wanted to develop Harkless and Vucevic. Sixers should of never gave up Vucevic, dude is ballin'.
