I was a big Doc Rivers fan when he was with Atlanta and felt that he did an excellent job in Orlando. Phil got on my nerves when he was in Chicago. But I think that you are correct about the two coaches.Actually I think Paul Pierce will. Since he has disappeared in Los Angeles so far.
Doc Rivers has to orchestrate that with KG. If Phil was coaching Boston this series would be over. Phil would take Boston's talent and run this Lakers team off the floor. Doc has to take some heat as well.
Those leadership qualities that Doc showed in Atlanta and Orlando did come up big tonight. I must give him credit.
