Has Rivers ever coached in the playoffs before?

I believe he did. He won Coach of the Year before, didn`t he?

Wouldn't take much for a less-experienced coach to outcoach Flip. Saw it happen last postseason with Urkle Sr.

Yes but his team did not make the playoffs that year. I don't think he has been. Amazing how Saunders has slipped in here to assume that a coach with no playoffs experience will out-coach him.

He's coached 4 teams to the playoffs, never made it out of the first round... all with orlando, including the 3-1 lead that they lost to our pistons

8-14 in the playoffs.... this is the first real good team he's taken to the playoffs, but I've always thought he's an overated coach. I think alot of credit for this year besides his big 3 has to go to the new assistant that is in charge of the defense.

his record of coaching... Doc Rivers Coaching Record - Basketball-Reference.com

Who will be in the finals? That's easy. The Eastern Conference Champ vs The Western Conference Champ.

That's a guarantee. You can put that on the front page, the back page, whatever.

I'll say Celtics vs. Spurs.

Oh yea thats right. For some reason I thought he was fired before then but it was during their lottery season when they got the 1st pick when it happened.

Joe is now in the mix, so Flip has some help. We'll see what happens in the games though.
