The Doc Rivers Bandwagon I started here is growing.
First, celticsblog.com posted the results of a poll revealing that approximately 75% of those choosing to participate think Doc Rivers is the right coach for the Boston Celtics.
Then KG went public with more effusive praise for the Celtics coach, describing him as a near perfect blend of what it takes to be a great coach.
Earlier we saw
The Debunking of Simmons Senseless Doc Diatribe
Pat Riley declaring Rivers to be a "great coach."
The Herald revealing that the Celtics have won 13-straight third quarters, a testament to Doc's ability to make in-game adjustments.
Larry Bird noting that Xs and Os are overrated, and proving that great players make great coaches.
And for the coup de grâce, WEEI revisited the following quotes from Ainge and Rivers.
``I am confident that Doc, given the right talent, can win in this league,'' Ainge said. ``There is no doubt in my mind. ``I have no doubt about it,'' Rivers agreed. ``I've always believed in that. Every time I've had a decent team, we've won.”
Oh, and then we have the matter of the Celtics 18-2 record, a pace that is now ahead of the vaunted 1985-86 team.
Come on, Doc Doubters, drink some kool-aid.
